To those of you who have stumbled upon this blog, Our Daily Bread is a web-ministry created to provide uplifting, positive, and practically-applicable guidance using bible verses, logic, and everyday life experiences. It is not the same as the Our Daily Bread of RBC ministries (only the name is the same), although we encourage you to check out their beautiful and God-centered writings as well. These particular daily breads are personally written by individuals who seek with their whole lives to glorify God in all that they do.
Andrew and Whitney are the writers and creators of this ministry. They began this ministry back in February of 2006. But they humble themselves with the knowledge that God has given them their talents and inspiration. He is in everything they do and are.
Whitney had the idea for this ministry, and Andrew actually saw it through. For years they have worked together in writing many daily breads. They hope that you dear readers have grown through them as much as they have. However, Andrew has recently left writing to pursue other callings, while Whitney has chosen to continue writing.
Both Andrew and Whitney were in high school when they began this ministry. Now both are in college, and pursue many things. They are constantly learning and growing through their daily lives and experiences. They hope that these things shine through in their writings. God is their foundation, as they hope He is with you.
Daily bread messages are generally sent whenever Whitney has time to write them. They are sent through a mailing list, which you can sign up for by sending a blank eMail to the address "our_daily_bread@live.com" (after adding ODB to your approved contacts list, that is!). Otherwise, they plan to use this blog as a place to archive their messages, so feel free to have a look around once they get everything uploaded. They welcome questions, comments, or advice of any kind, so feel free to drop a note or spark up a conversation! Also, Whitney is an avid photographer--if you are looking for a photographer, or would just like to see her work, check out her own website via the 'Photography' tab.
If you read through each daily bread starting at the beginning, you will see a gradual growth. Indeed as Andrew and Whitney pen these daily breads, they hope that you will learn and be inspired from their words--just as they have inspired their own lives as well.
It is the hope and prayer of ODB that you will find this a warm and welcoming place to investigate God, Jesus, Christianity, and other ideas of philosophical merit. They hope that you may learn what a relationship with God is really all about - and if you are already acquainted with Him on a personal level, that you would be encouraged to take the next step in your faith, delve a little deeper into His love, and grow closer to Him, as He longs to with you.
God Bless,
Daily Bread Team
