The Chapel Quotes
“What do you think people think about when they hear your name? Whether you are a name or no-name, God sees you. Are you living a life such that your name is worth mentioning? God is our Lord, our chain-breaker, our great healer, and above all, our redeemer. Make a name for yourself by making Christ’s name known. Be a useful brother, be a dependable servant. Be a fellow prisoner for someone right now who is in the depths, who is behind bars who is chained to something else. We are called to go to different nations and we need more people who see their neighborhoods and their workplaces as their missionary field. Being note-worthy isn’t about living someone else’s story it’s about faithfully living the one that God has designed for you.”

Devotion 08/09/2026
Our Devotion, “Impossibly Early” is by Emily J. Morgan, a professional writing major at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana and a book reviewer for Church Libraries and Christian Book Previews.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “For nothing is impossible with God.” Luke 1:37 (NIV)
I loathe waking up early. From the obnoxious blare of the alarm clock to the chilly morning air outside of my warm, soft blankets, I hate everything about it. However, with a new school year approaching, I realized that getting up early would provide me with an opportune time to go to the gym and work out. The excitement of my idea was soon clouded by my recollections of the many previous failed attempts to drag myself out of bed and accomplish something before ten o’clock. I had soon dismissed the idea as impossible.
When Mary asked the angel Gabriel how it could be possible for her to be the virgin mother of the Savior, he told her that nothing was impossible with God. Whether you’re dealing with overcoming a certain sin that keeps tripping you up, upset over a broken family, or simply needing the strength to get out of bed in the morning, nothing is too big or too little for God to handle. Even I learned to exercise in the morning.
PRAYER: Father, give me the strength to hand over my problems to You no matter what they are, and give me the faith to know that nothing is impossible with You.

Just Sayin’
By Dandi Daley Mackall
Tyndale House, HB, 179 pages
Mackall’s Just Sayin’ is a collage of letters, texts, phone calls, and notes sent between and among “almost step” siblings Cassie Callahan, Nick Barton, and little sister Julie Barton. The kids’ parents were all set to get married, but then (without warning) they abruptly called off the wedding. Now, in the aftermath, Nick’s dad is dragging him and little Julie all across the county, whereas poor Cassie has been “deposited” with her grandmother because Cassie’s mom has decided to move to another city to begin a new career. After having so looked forward to being siblings, the trio of kids use various forms of media to try to stay in touch and to figure out why the wedding was cancelled and if they still have a possible future together as a new family.
Just Sayin’ features letters typed and written with distinct handwriting, and envelopes and pens left on top of the letters for a realistic feel. Many similar elements add to the “you are there” experience of reading the book. The plotline provides an abundance of laugh-out-loud moments, courtesy in part of the kids’ love of joking insults. Nevertheless, many serious topics, ranging from the sanctity of marriage to where to draw the line between funny and hurtful jokes, are explored. The innocence of the youngsters provides honesty and transparency for examining the behavior of Christian adults.
Although primarily written for kids, and primarily from kids’ perspectives, Mackall has written a book that all ages can connect with. It presents the added perspectives of grandparents, a youth pastor, the parents, and one comedian. Due to the variety of perspectives, adults can relate to the story, and kids can get a glimpse into the strange minds of older folks.
God is a very real presence in Just Sayin’. Cassie writes to her youth pastor, asking hard and relevant questions about marriages and break-ups. She also writes several letters to God himself. The question of when fun and games turns into bullying is also asked with God in mind; and various quotes from the Bible are used throughout the book.
