1 Kings 1, 2 Samuel 23:1-7, 1 Kings 2:1-10, 1 Chron. 29:28-30, 1 Chron. 29:23-25 (1 Kings 2:12, 2 Chron. 1:1) Ryan: Tomorrow, May 12, is my father’s birthday. (And, now that Mother’s Day has passed, we’re approaching the season for Father’s Day, too.) It’s hard for a son not to think about his father [...]
Psalm 45, Psalm 47-48, Psalm 87, Psalm 110, Psalm 72:20 Ryan: “This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse.” (Psalm 72:20). I found this verse to be absurd in its existence.

Psalm 139, Psalm 145, Psalm 148, Psalm 150 Ryan: What beautiful music we read in our daily Bible reading today!
