Wednesday and Thursday’s Prayer
This prayer can apply to Thursday as well as Wednesday. To me these two days get lost in the shuffle in looking forward to the weekend. I remember one of the churches my Dad pastored had Thursday evening prayer meeting instead of Wednesday. But the point is doing something everyday to better ourselves. Blessings.

Personal Babylon
Ever wake up one morning and feel like things have changed so much you are in you own Personal Babylon? (Inspired by the DISCIPLINES devotional.) These days things change so fast you don’t have to be very old to know old answers no longer work, and new is always just around the corner. We rebel,…

Sometmes Quietly
I love the days of quiet spirit. I sometimes forget to write about them, concentrating of the ‘urge to vent’ or get out the churning ideas and feelings. But today I record the quiet days feeling… enjoy.

Acceptance or Seeking
So today I prayed again, seeking God’s presence. And that is the accepted language and thought pattern. But what if it’s not all my job? I’m afraid I’ve assumed it’s my responsibility to find God – like he’s lost or hiding. What if seeking God is not such hard work? What if seeking God is…

HALFWAY GIVERS
The ideal of Christian living is giving myself totally to God. We all talk about it, but it’s never been easy for me to do it in reality. What does it look like for me? We like to think we fully trust God immediately after becoming a Christian. But sometimes what’s possible and what really…
