Lifeway Women's Bible Review #lifewaywomen #lifewaywomensbible #readyourbible

Can anyone empathize with me on my feelings here...

In the above picture you can see the yellow (marigold) new Bible and the dirty well loved blue one on top. I knew over the last several weeks that it was about time to start thinking about getting a new Bible. I have a lot of wear to the blue one and I was ready to look at different translations.

When my new Lifeway Women's Bible arrived I loved the bright marigold cover and was excited to dig in. Then I was hit with mixed emotions. My other blue bible is like my BFF and I felt so conflicted. I would open the new one and felt lost looking for different scriptures. In my blue Bible I know it so well and have notes and highlights all over it.

So anyone relate to this? There should be a word to describe this condition- New Bible Confusion!?

So a few days later I have been able to dig in and find several features I really like. I will admit I am using this new Bible more during our family devotional time but my morning time with the Lord I am still using my Blue Bible. I honestly don't know if or when I will be able to make the 100% change to the new one.

First feature I like are the character profiles. I love reviewing the person and making sure I understand those things before I start reading. I also like that this section has some questions to make you think and simmer on some thoughts. It is a great resource.

Next, I like the introduction to chapter section. I really enjoy the timeline section as I do enjoy thinking about the sequence of events as I read. Then they also have key verses which I think is a neat feature if you want to set a goal for memorization of scripture those ones might be a good option to get started.

Another thing I want to make sure I shout out is I LOVE THE MARIGOLD color! This color is screaming pick me up!! I love it!

One more interesting detail I thought was neat was that the books of the bible was written sideways. I noticed right away as I was skimming to find where I wanted to go I was think well this is easier that they placed the words sideways! What a simple yet effective little change that I enjoyed!

With all the good things there are still a couple other things to note,

1. I ripped a page right away as I was moving the book marker ribbon. Not a huge rip just a little one but made me notice the difference of page thickness from my other one.

2. I don't know if this is a good or bad thought but this Bible is much bigger then my other one. I think I like the bigger size but more time will tell.

One more really great detail! I love when Bibles have little extra's hidden in it and the picture below is one of those moments. There are great little application section of info that are little surprises all over the Bible.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.” The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family. During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
