How do you read your Bible? - Do you follow a yearly plan? Specific topic or book of the Bible plan? - Are you a morning reader, night time reader? - Do you have a consistent space for reading and having time with God?

I shook up my breakfast meal prep last week and it was so delicious, I’m doing it again this week! Ingredients: 1 lb breakfast sausage 1 green bell pepper, diced 1 yellow onion, diced Bacon bits Seasonings: garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper 1 bag Ore Ida Crispy Crowns 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese 6 eggs 1 1/4 cup milk 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 9x13in casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside. 2. In a frying pan, cook the sausage meat, bell pepper, and onion. Once meat is browned and veggies softened, season with listed seasonings and 4 Tbsp of bacon bits, and continue to cook for 2 minutes. 3. Turn off heat and add the bag of Crispy Crowns. Stir to combine. 4. Pour contents into the prepared casserole dish and stir in 1/2 cup of Mexican cheese. 5. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together, seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over contents in casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese and 2 Tbsp of bacon bits. 6. Bake for 45 minutes or until no longer runny. You and your family can all share this one morning or, if you’re meal prepping like me, slice it into 6 equal portions, place in meal prepping containers, and refrigerate for up to 6 days. Enjoy the yumminess!!!!

“but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬ ‭ESV‬‬ I have another book recommendation for you! I recently read I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist by Norman L. Geisler and Frank Turek. It follows a 12-point progression to the veracity of the Bible. If you’re anything like me, I have struggled with the insecurity of how to answer for my faith! In an increasingly atheistic world, Christians should feel equipped with the truth that Christianity does not require the blind faith atheism does. While I didn’t think Christianity was unconvincing, I felt I personally didn’t have the evidence I need on hand to logically argue for the truth of the Word of God. I couldn’t put this book down! If you want to take a step toward feeling more equipped to engage skeptics and atheists and believers of other world religions - read this book!! P.S. I read it on Audible so if you prefer that method of reading I can attest to the audiobook being read very well! Sometimes audiobook readers’ voices can grate and this one does not!
