Here is a great daily devotional site!

Our denomination has linked hands with Passport.org to provide a daily devotion that you will enjoy reading/listening to every day! It combines music with well written thoughts and questions to ponder; together with a challenge for each day. It follows the lectionary so the readings are coordinated with the sermon and scriptures we use on Sunday. The thoughts and writings are written to help you apply the scriptures to your daily life. It will take you about 5 minutes to do the full experience each day. The web address is http://www.d365.org. Give it a try. You will love the meditative music and writings!
