Want to explore resources from two writer / poets today.
First, we’ve explored the work of artist / author Tom Graffagnino before. Today I want to direct you to his page where you can read and meditate on his poem There… Amazing Grace Extended, complete with many BEaUtiful names of Christ WITH scripture references!! It would make a wonderful way to meditate on God’s word today.
Second, I’ve also featured the work of Sarah M. Wells several times before. She is currently in an Advent series with daily postings reflecting on the CHRISTmas season. I’ve been posting it daily on my Facebook page, but wanted to also refer to it here just in case you’ve been missing it there. 🙂 Sarah’s writing is real and transparent. You’ll be glad you found her!
So, folks, waste no more time here! Grab your Bible and a cup of coffee and head on over! Happy reading!
Merry CHRISTmas, Jody

Jody Thomae is the author of God’s Creative Gift—Unleashing the Artist in You, a devotional book with Bible studies to nurture the creative spirit within and to serve as a resource for creative Christians, artists, musicians and worshippers. She has been involved in worship arts ministry since 1997, coordinating artistic involvement in church services and regional worship events through dance, drama, poetry and fine arts. She performs, teaches, choreographs, preaches, coordinates and leads
workshops in the area of creativity, spirituality and embodied prayer. She has also recently released a devotional CD, Song of the Beloved. Her passion is for the revelation of God to be made more real through the prophetic use of the arts in church and formational ministry. It is her desire to portray the message of Christ’s desperate and unfailing love for His people to help sustain the hearts of the broken and weary. Life scriptures include Psalm 27; Isaiah 50:4-7; and Zephaniah 3:14-17.
