“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path” (Ps. 119:105, KJV).
In the movie The Sound of Music, Maria sings “My Favorite Things” to the von Trapp children to comfort them during a thunderstorm. She tells them that whenever she’s scared or upset, she simply sings about things that bring her comfort and joy. I figure if she can sing about “raindrops on roses,” then I should be able to use Scripture to do the same thing.
Set to this song’s tune, this is “My Favorite Things: The Christian Version.”
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
No weapon that’s formed against me shall harm.
Be anxious for nothing, and in all things pray.
Trust in the Lord that He’ll make a way.
Healthcare professionals are needed now more than ever. A report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment opportunities in healthcare is projected to grow 15 percent from 2019 to 2029, citing that this is much faster than the average for all other occupations. The need for well-educated graduates in the field of healthcare is clear, but we know that choosing a career path is one of the hardest decisions a student can make, and many times finances play a big role in that decision.
Kettering College has announced two new scholarships to make a healthcare education at Kettering College more accessible.

I love this text, mostly because it is a simple proclamation of the gospel. But also because it sets the record straight in regard to the lies the serpent told in the Garden of Eden. Many people are still being convinced that God’s Word is not reliable, that God uses obedience to keep good things from his people and that we do not already have everything we need to reflect the image of God.
