When You Forget Your Phone
In my phone are hundreds of names and numbers. Without my phone, I only remember two phone numbers. I don’t even know my daughter’s phone number. When you have you bible with you, or access to it, you are probably pretty confident. But when you are in the midst of a trial and your bible and the app are not available, what do you rely on? When You Forget Your Phone is a devotional that challenges you to memorize God’s word. If you know God’s word, it is easier to stand on His promises when your world is turbulent.
The fifteen verses included in this devotional are verses that God has spoken in the life of the author over the last year. This book will give some insight into her journey with the Lord.

They created timeless comedy but uplifted their subject matter.

Happy Juneteenth
June 19, 1865
It was the day African Americans found out the war was over.
It was the day they found out they were free.
After years of slavery, they were free.
There has been a celebration every year since.
It reminds us that our freedom date is different than their freedom date.
Freedom is fought for.
Rioters remind us of that this year.
