NOTE FROM THE EDITOR by Karen Ruhl
Can you believe we are one month into the new year at the time of this publication? I was helping my grandfather when I was a teenager and said, “I wish it was Saturday.” My usually very quiet grandfather looked at me and said, “Don’t ever wish your life away, Karen. One day you will wish you had more days left in your life.” It is true, isn’t it? We get excited about our birthday, a vacation, something that makes us focus on the future instead of today.
As writers, we are either looking at our past or writing about the future. Don’t get stuck in either one, be sure you are in the present.

“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” -Matthew 6:34
We are so happy when we look at our statistics and see that thousands are reading our magazine. It goes up and down monthly like all magazines but we keep our eyes on what the Lord God is doing to expand our territory. We pray for those who read the magazine in every country and ask that you join us in prayer. We are being read in countries where the word of God is not allowed. We take that seriously and ask God to protect all of our readers.
We have one favor to ask of anyone reading this now. Please take the time to share the magazine link with your family and friends. You never know how they may be touched by the articles and the word of God.
Now Read In Over 77 Countries. Praise be to God.
