This devotional series originally came about in 2015 because I was in need of a morning devotional after finishing several from a Bible Application on my phone. Then it came to mind, that I should do one myself. Well, February is National Heart Month, and I love studying about the heart of David and so I started to write a small piece every morning as a text message on my phone to several of my friends. I had no clue, as to how I was going to be able to have enough material to complete a month of devotionals. Little did I know that there was more...lol. It was also during this time, that some very special people in my life were going through life-changing journeys, and this devotional series became an opportunity to reach out and speak words of encouragement, hope.

Again in 2018, I asked for a commitment from several of my Facebook friends to join me, at least until February 14th. I told them that they could decide if they wanted to continue. Most continued and many were added. From there it expanded to six months of daily devotionals written in Facebook Messenger format. You may even see some comments from the readers.

Top of the Morning (TOTM) 2018 was dedicated to my granddaughter, Elvisha Jo Henry, who had heart surgery on February 12th of that year. We thought she was to have a new valve installed, virtually a new heart, but God had another plan to repair her existing heart. Many of us have new or mended hearts, through Christ Jesus and that is special! Looking forward to having you join me on this journey...look for words of hope, love, and encouragement! God's heart...all things are possible...when we are lined up with the presence of God and our hearts are in rhythm and flow with his heart. I believe it. Enjoy the journey!
