In our apartment there's a blank wall. Painted purple, ultra bland. It's the one in our bathroom vanity area... the one that we look at over a hundred times a day, each time we look in the mirror, each time we pass through to go to our rooms. So, we've decided to spice it up a bit and cover it with verses. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 says, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." (ESV) We've chosen to take the last part literally. Here's a picture of the start of our progress. Our goal is to fill it up by the end of the school year, writing on the wall and committing to memory the word of the Lord. I'll keep you updated with our progress!
