Praise God!

Praise God!  I would be totally remiss if I did not start out the blog today without giving glory to Him from whom all blessings flow.  I'm giving praise to God today for something he did in someone else's life today, not mine!

That's all I have today friends.  It ain't about me today.  Something wonderful happened in Wendi's life today and I'm very happy for her!

Read it, live it

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.      Psalm 119:105 I'm reading, albeit slowly, a book called Jesus Club. It's a book about how this guy started a ministry at the high school he graduated from and how it grew. Yesterday, I read a story about how he was passing a skateboard shop, needing $200 more dollars for something God told him to do and he heard God telling him to go to the skateboard shop.  After a brief argument, he gave in, flipped a u-turn and went in. Turns out, he'd met the lady who owned said shop before, while standing in line at an amusement park near their home and had enough of a conversation that she remembered him.  He told her of his need for $200.  She started crying because God had laid it on her heart that she needed to take $200 with her to work because she was gonna meet someone who needed it. Great story.  I love how God's people, when they yield to Him, get stuff done. I prepared today's Bibl...

Learning to pray

-
The thing about my walk with Jesus; I'm always being challenged to venture deeper into that relationship, which is wonderful. And I'm reminded this morning that while there are periods of rest along the way, the journey is ever forward.  This week, I'm learning how to pray.  That may sound dumb, because I pray.  A lot.  Annoyingly a lot, sometimes, I think.  But I do talk with God all throughout the day, just as if I had a dad to call on the phone and talk to.  And of all people, you'd think I'd have a handle on praying. I guess what I'm learning to do is to spend time during my day with the TV off, no animals, shut in a quiet room, and praying intentionally and deeply about stuff.  It's kind of a new adventure for me, and I'm trying to get into the habit of journaling those prayers. That's important to me.  I mentioned that maybe I'd be a mighty prayer warrior when the day comes I can't do some of the stuff I do now for church.  I...

Performance review?

-
 I love God, and I mean that.  I mean, with my whole heart, love God.  Not perfectly, but i'm trying harder and harder to not try so hard.  By that, I mean I'm just trying these days to just do the things God is asking me to do so that I can be closer to Him.  It was an interesting week for me.  It became somewhat evident that I was going to be taking a week off from the things I'd normally do, but not by my own choice.  Where my choice came in was to see what God was doing and saying yes to that, even though it meant having to do without the things I really enjoy getting to do. This last week for me has been kind of like a performance review.  I have a better understanding of some things I need to change about the way I'm doing things.  The first one starts with taking off the name tags.  By that, I mean the things that identify what I do (like job titles).  I'm not this or that.  I'm me.  I get to do this or that and onl...
