Why a September Fast!
This September 2026 will be my tenth September Fast since I began in 2017. I have been asked what the purpose is of this fast and several posts have been written explaining the reason behind it all, but I think "Lessons Learned" gets right to the overall reason! https://thescarlettroad.com/2019/09/19/lessons-learned/?fbclid=IwY2xjawNEz1BleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFsY2VqRGdEUktIVjRJdm1CAR6sAEqxfpY1ESzbtpz-9g1yM4CaHLlZdkUJw4V_aZwLhdgZtyvWeFqVbUAiDw_aem_Fr-rzSZdv1NwP9NEgSgjDQ?page_id=2080
UNITE MY HEART (September Fast)
What can we learn from the life of Charlie Kirk?

Treasure in Fragile Clay Jars!
Not long ago, I jotted down some principles that rang true from a passage of Scripture in the Bible. I tucked the scrap of paper away in one of my devotional books for safe keeping.

Preparation in Hot July!
The stifling heat of July confines me to the indoors. However, it isn’t without a great amount of productivity.

Finding the Pearls
As the years go by, the month of July has become a cruel month to cycle through! It is fraught with pain-filled memories. The kind that immobilizes a person causing one to wonder how you ever made it through or that you even experienced what has been scribbled down in your devotional journal.

Comfort Zone Vulnerabilities: The Long Way Home!
You might think making myself vulnerable to meet new people, or learning a new culinary skill, or pushing my rickety body to run, isn’t much of a repertoire for an out of the comfort zone way of life.
