Back at It….

I recently read an article in ONE Magazine about writing. The article contained an amazing new idea on how to write. In order to write you must…. WRITE….

Now if you are like me you will find this concept fascinating because it is the most difficult thing to do. Just sit down and write. So I am back at my blog, polishing my prose and just hitting random keys until something appears on the screen.

Writing is a great deal like losing weight. I want to do it. I will make an effort every once in a while. Then I let it slip away into oblivion, never to be heard from again until the next Blue Moon.

Love and God Bless,

Go Down To The Potter’s House

The Potter's WheelIn Jeremiah 18 God instructs Jeremiah to “Go down to the potter’s house”. I wonder what would happen today if he did that to us. Would we go? Would we go now? Or would we most likely say, “Sure God, I’ll go down there just as soon as I finish with my shift at work.” Or maybe when we are done watching the football game,or complete the awesome book we are reading. You get the point.

God revealed truth to Jeremiah because Jeremiah listened to God and was obediant when God spoke. How many blessings do we miss simply by not listening when God is speaking to us? I would love to know.

A Good Prayer ?

When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:

Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, ‘Woe to those who call evil good,’ but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free..
Amen!

I would say that is a good prayer. Wouldn’t you?
