Day of Year: 1 Date: 1.1.14 Jesus Reading (Ten Minutes): Matthew 1.1-17 + Rest of New Testament: Acts 3.1-10 +Psalm of the Day: Psalm 1 +Proverb of the Day: Proverbs 1.1-3 +Rest of Old Testament: Genesis 1, 2 Favorite Verse: Psalm 1.1-3 Psalm 1 1  Blessed is the one      who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take      or sit in the company of mockers, 2  but whose delight is in the law of the Lord ,      and who meditates on his law day and night. 3  That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,      which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—      whatever they do prospers. Thought for the Day: One of the greatest skills of humans is the ability to have self control of their own attitude.

What Kind of Reputation did Jesus have? Guest Post Jill Carattini

While many industries struggle during times of economic downturn, the identity management industry, a trade emerging from the realities of the Internet Age, continues to gain business steadily.
