🍓 Did you know that Bible Love Notes has a whole collection of Scriptures and 1-minute devotions based on food analogies? Check it out here: Food for Thought. Why not go through it with your small group or Bible study?

Hi! I'm Gail Burton Purath. I started Bible Love Notes to give people a minute of Scriptural encouragement in their busy day.

I don't have all the answers, but since I asked Christ to be my Lord and Savior in 1974, I've been learning from the One Who has all the answers!

I'm still a sinner, a learner, a student who falls down and disappoints God at times. But it's my desire to grow closer to the Lord, day by day, minute by minute.

I need to be challenged, encouraged, corrected and comforted, and I think you do as well...so let's learn together about the love of God--a love that is so vast that we will always be discovering new and wonderful things about it.

Some Personal stuff:

I married my best friend Michael in 1970.

We have a grown son and daughter and 7 delightful grandchildren.

I've been a student of the Bible for 40 years

I'm a former Army wife, former homeschooler, and former missionary to Budapest, Hungary

I was born in Colorado, but I'm a "nomad" having moved about 40 times in my life!

I never graduated from college, but I have a Masters in Discipleship and Evangelism from seminary.
