The inspiration for my OBG Blog are the "Sunday School cards" that date back to the 1870s. The cards have a colorful
lithograph Bible illustration on the front with a scripture reference and memory verse. On the back, there's a short
explanation of the scripture and a series of questions for the child to answer. These three belonged to my grandmother
and were printed in 1903 by Harris Jones and Co., Providence, R.I.

My favorite verse

Paul was the epitome of the hard-working disciple. Yet, he is also a prime example of humility and what matters most in this life. My favorite verse (Galations 6:14) is one that might not rank that high on most people's lists -- but, it is a great reminder of how we should live. I love the fact that, when studied in context, Paul himself says (in verse 11) pay close attention to what I'm saying here -- LOOK AT MY CAPITAL LETTERS!

(summary) may I never boast about anything other than the cross of Jesus Christ. Nothing else in this world matters.

Read the verse in the context of Paul's letter and see what it reminds you of in your life. How can we be more humble and better disciples of Christ? Check back soon.
