My precious granddaughter’s name is “Hephzibah”. It’s a beautiful name but it isn’t simple and it isn’t convenient. When people first hear it, they want it re-pronounced, spelt, and explained.

Welcome to the Family Biblefox!  I thought we could start by reading Philippians.  It is a nice short book.  And it will give us some time to get used to Biblefox.  As you read a chapter, feel free to write your thoughts down and read other people’s thought as well!

Enjoy, Biblefox!
