📖 🏺 We are Clay and Dust 🌄

by | Nov 3, 2025 | ScrollKeepers Community News

Dear Reader–

A faith-building thought for the day:

Death reminds us that we are creatures.
Yet as fearsome as death is, it is nothing compared with meeting a holy God.
When we encounter him, the totality of our creatureliness breaks upon us and shatters the myth that we have believed about ourselves, the myth that we are demigods, junior-grade deities who will try to live forever.
RC Sproul

My prayer for you is that you will be overwhelmed by the holiness of God.

Lord, you have been our dwelling place
in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

You return man to dust
and say, “Return, O children of man!”

Psalm 90:1-3

And that in that overwhelm, you will draw near to know him in all He is…Because not only is He the holy God who made us. He took on flesh and came to redeem us from that inevitable death.

And He remains as our place of refuge–our comfort, our dwelling place.

God bless you,

Darlene

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Happy Day Reader! Book news. I’m neck-deep in the revision of Vega’s story (Me, Myself, and IT). Oh boy! I absolutely love the ending. I can’t wait to share it with you. Really, truly. I can’t wait for this to be ready to send out. A word of encouragement.
