Honoring God by giving Him first place is an incredible way to greet the day! Start each day immersed in the loving words of God. Matthew 5:12-16 reminds us to be salt and light in this world. As light, the Daily Devotions for a Great Life shines rays of biblical truths into everyday life. As salt, these daily devotions add to the flavor of life with sustaining power and fullness from the word of God. Take the opportunity as salt and light, to make this a great life! Devotional reading, writing, and reflecting instill knowledge of God’s love deep within our souls. Gain new insight and perspective with each iteration of scripture. Reflecting on the loving words of our Creator gives spiritual insight that invites God to walk beside us on an extraordinary journey into the deeper recesses of our souls. Listen to what God is revealing and write it down in the space provided on each page. If you don’t write your thoughts down, they will, like a beautiful butterfly, flutter away as quickly as they appeared. Putting pen to paper helps capture spiritual insights that reveal a sharpened self-awareness and keener purpose. Journaling spiritual awareness allows us to imagine possibilities, experience the unknown, and achieve the success of biblical proportions. Regular reflective writing fosters a greater understanding of complex issues, increases creativity to find solutions, and strengthens our resolve. Journaling biblical insight is mysteriously good medicine for our hearts, lives, and future. The Daily Planner for a Great Life was written as a companion to this devotional. It is a great resource to use alongside Daily Devotions for a Great Life to organize daily priorities as they are revealed according to His will. Do you crave the richness of life that God deeply desires for you? This is the message you need.
As Reviewed by Eugene N. Anderson, University of California, Riverside in The Journal of California Anthropology, Vol. 2, No. 2 (WINTER 1975), pp. 241-244:A child born in December is "like a baby in an ecstatic condition, but he leaves this condition" (p. 102). The Chumash, reduced by the 20th century from one of the richest and most populous groups in California to a pitiful remnant, had almost lost their strage and ecstatic mental world by the time John Peabody Harrington set out to collect what was still remembered of their language and oral literature. Working with a handful of ancient informants, Harrington recorded all he could--then, in bitter rejection of the world, kept it hidden and unpublished. After his death there began a great quest for his scattered notes, and these notes are now being published at last. Thomas Blackburn, among the first and most assiduous of the seekers through Harrington's materials, has published her the main body of oral literature that Harrington collected from the Chumash of Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. Blackburn has done much more: he has added to the 111 stories a commentary and analysis, almost book-length in its own right, and a glossary of the Chumash and Californian-Spanish terms that Harrington was prone to leave untranslated in the texts.
