Level Path
"Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm." (Proverbs 4:26)
About My Name
"Maggie" is short for Magnanimity, the title of my main blog, Magnanimity. You are welcome to visit either. Both are for either men or women to read. My husband reads both as well (he comments once in a blue moon). I ask that you please not use our real names on blogs--a personal preference.
This blog is for my Quiet Time homework for church. You are free to join in or comment as God leads, or to just read or scan.
