A Beautiful Day

I was awakened early this morning with an urgent feeling to check on this site – as I sat down at my computer and attempted to log into the site it became quite clear that there was a problem. I began rushing around trying to correct these problems that had crept up while I was sleeping. The stress of all of this began to weight down on me. It was then that I stepped away from my computer and found a place to pray. “God, Thank you for giving me this day. I ask that you would help me to grow through this situation.” I went back to my computer and began working on the issue once again.

This fast is going to be a time for us to grow if we allow God to direct us through each day. I would like to invite you to share your daily experences here. Just add a comment to this post. May God bless you each in every day as He has blessed me today!

Ordinances Of Heaven

Mark your calendar now if you want to see the next celestial convergence of Venus, Jupiter, and the moon. On November 18, 2052, you’ll be able to peer through the evening darkness as those solar system neighbors “gather” in a tiny area of the sky. That remarkable juxtaposition of reflective spheres last sparkled the night sky on December 1, 2008, and it will happen again 4 decades from now.

Locked In

Jean-Dominique Bauby’s memoir, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, describes his life after a massive stroke left him with a condition called “Locked-In Syndrome.” Although he was almost completely paralyzed, Bauby was able to write his book by blinking his left eyelid. An aide would recite a coded alphabet, until Bauby blinked to choose the letter of a word he was dictating. The book required about 200,000 blinks to write. Bauby used the only physical ability left him to communicate with others.

The Review

Imagine going to work one day and being greeted by your boss, who says, “Come by my office at 9:30. I’d like to talk to you about how you’re doing on the job.”

Widening Your Perspective

A missionary and I were invited to lunch with David, a man in his late seventies who generously supported the missionary’s ministry. David was not able to visit the missionary’s country, but as he gave thanks for the food, he prayed with complete ease for the people, places, and situations there. Having prayed regularly for that ministry, he had no trouble mentioning specifics. David had a perspective on missions that extended beyond his own country of Singapore.
