Welcome to this calming episode of the Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible, where I read from the King James Version of the Holy Bible accompanied by peaceful, soothing music. Tonight’s reading continues in the Gospel of Luke, chapters 12 through 19, where Jesus teaches, heals, and shares parables that reveal the heart of God and the beauty of His kingdom.
In these chapters, Jesus warns against hypocrisy and greed, urging His followers to store up treasures in heaven rather than on earth. He calls His listeners to repentance and faithfulness, reminding them that the Son of Man will come at an unexpected hour. Through beloved parables—the Lost Sheep, the Prodigal Son, and the Rich Man and Lazarus—He reveals the compassion of a Father who seeks and saves the lost.
We also witness Jesus healing ten lepers, blessing children, and teaching that the kingdom of God is not something to be observed, but is found within you. His journey toward Jerusalem continues, filled with mercy, truth, and eternal wisdom.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
