Morning
A two-minute start: open Jeremiah 7:18 and read it twice. The first time, listen. The second time, stop on “children.” The verse says, “The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of the sky, and to pour out…”

Challenge
