A couple of times in my life, I've had the blessing of being an ESL teacher, English as a Second Language. My students were adults who had immigrated to the United States. I had great admiration for them, as I watched how hard they worked to give their families, their children, a better life in America. And I was inspired as I watched them work hard to learn English, a difficult language - and sometimes a crazy language!

Last week's Sunday School lesson was about Queen Esther and her adopted father, Mordecai. I encourage you to read through the Book of Esther this week - it's one of the most dramatic and inspiring stories in the Bible. They've made movies about it! And this short book, just 10 chapters, contains one of the most memorable verses in the Word of God. Esther 4:14 ends with this statement - "Perhaps you have come to royal position for such a time as this".

Today's devotion is all about 3:16. There are 49 "3:16" verses in the Bible. Bu there are 66 books in the Bible, so why aren't there 66? Well, some books, like Psalms, have a 3rd chapter with less than 16 verses, and other books, like Jude, don't have a 3rd chapter at all. 

Here are a few notable "3:16s" . . .

I'm old school when it comes to writing. This daily devotion ends up on my computer, but it begins on a yellow pad, written by a pen. And not just any pen. It has to be the "Pilot Precise Rolling Ball V5 Extra Fine"! I'm not that particular about most things. If my coffee is hot, that's good enough for me. And if a car gets me where I need to go, I don't care that much about what it looks like. But when it comes to pens - there's only one choice. There is no substitute.
