Blog: Digging in the Bible
The Bible sheds a lot of light to the issues of life and the inner workings of our soul. I have a teacher's heart that desires to give out meaty insights, clear information and tools for our everyday life.Previous devotional blogs

Scripture Spy
I love God's Word. Since I was a little girl I was taught to memorize verses, and I went to many Sunday School classes, youth seminars, and so on. In college, I got involved with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and learned all about the induction method of Bible study. A couple years later in seminary as I learned all about Biblical background and theological wrestling, it astounded me that inductive Bible study was not really a foundation there. But the tools I was gathering in Seminary were invaluable to me. I spent a ten year time span as a missionary in West Africa and taught some classes on the Bible at a pastoral training center. There I honed skills of applying the Bible culture to a culture completely different from my own. It was imperative that I could make God's Word relevant to that population.Over the years, if you'd attend one of my classes or Bible studies, you would discover that I love digging deep into the Word of God, and place a high value of understanding Biblical culture in it's context. I am most delighted when I can shed new light on a verse that applies to the needs of our daily life. Because of this desire, I sought to find a good moniker for this webpage. Something that would be easy to remember, and describe the kind of Bible teacher that I am. "Paths of Light" had numerous other pages, often with a new age twist. "Digging in the Bible" is also used in several other places. "Scripture Detective." Hmmm. Also used by several others. So that is how the title "Scripture Spy" was born. This is who I am. I am an information junkie. I search, I dig, I put timelines together. I get the lay of Biblical lands in their time. I hope my findings will be of great insight and comfort for your own context!
I hope you will join me in the search through the scriptures!
