Dear Bruce, I continue to connect with you daily, but I’m still not comfortable with you leaving God the Father out of your closing blessing. I recall your reasoning from an earlier reflection about the feminine aspect of God & about God the Father coming from a patriarchal society from long ago, but I believe that the sign of the cross should include God as Father. We also baptize in the Name of the Father, the Son & Holy Spirit 🙂 Please respond. Thank you for all you do in your ministry. From Sally

I am so glad you are enjoying the Daily Devotionals. The reflections help me in my walk with God each day also.

Good bless

Bruce

Bruce I have subscribed several times to receive your devotions every day in my email. I also signed up for your weight loss plan and for this lent. I have yet to get any emails from you. Last year when I first found you, I got them for a few weeks then they stopped. When I wrote about it, I was told I had unsubscribed, but I never did, and I have subscribed again but to no avail. I receive Rosemary’s emails regularly. Please see what is wrong so I can get your information and join in daily. I enjoy… Read more »
