January 30, 2012, at 9:00 am In the land of instant everything, we’re not so good at waiting. I’m just as guilty as the next person, eating cold pizza from the box because the microwave takes too long. We like things fast and we get cranky when we have to wait. I find it especially difficult to wait when I think [...] January 29, 2012, at 9:00 am My nephew has recently become a big fan of Doctor Who. This excites me to no end because I adore Doctor Who, have all the rebooted series on DVD and can probably recite large portions of dialog from favorite episodes. While at the age of 8, he’s a bit young for all the episodes, but [...] January 27, 2012, at 9:00 am Standing at my window, hidden by the night Harboring the private wounds, safe and out of sight There’s an agony in living, but there’s a comfort in the truth That no one knows my heart better than you. I can face a lot of people with this sanguine act of mine Guarded by the eloquence [...] January 26, 2012, at 9:00 am I was reading this familiar prayer on Sunday and the notation following the prayer encouraged me to go back through the prayer and read it a sentence at a time. After each sentence, pause and pray about specific situations or people that come to mind when meditating on that sentence. Talk about powerful! That was [...] January 25, 2012, at 9:11 pm Our “Question of the Week” feature hasn’t been a big hit, although I wasn’t expecting a huge number of posts. Unless everyone will really miss my answering the question each week, this will be the last week of this feature. Our question is… What dish do you make for company when you don’t have a [...] January 24, 2012, at 9:01 am I hope many of you were encourage to memorize Scripture this year as Pastor Josh preached about the value of it several weeks ago. Last year, I memorized 21 verses, but hope to increase that a bit this year. I think the slower pace I took actually hindered me from memorizing. Although this year, I’ve [...] January 23, 2012, at 9:48 am So we now begin a long journey with the apostle, James, as we have just started Beth Moore’s study of James in Sunday School. I’ve been looking forward to it ever since I heard it was her next study. The book has been a favorite of mine and there are so many familiar passages in [...] January 20, 2012, at 8:40 pm “Your worst days are never so bad that you’re beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you’re beyond the need of God’s grace.” (Holiness, Day by Day devotional) January 19, 2012, at 9:42 am I’ve been using a prayer book this year called “Prayers for Today.” While I don’t rely on prayer books to do my praying for me, I do like to use collections of hymns, verses, poems and ancient prayers to begin my prayer time. It settles me into the prayer time and as I read them [...] January 18, 2012, at 8:39 pm I recently finished a short book of essays called “Outspoken.” The theme of these essays was church communication and while the book was divided into several divisions, each essay really covered a wide range of church communication issues.
