Sunday’s Blessing – 04/28/2024

May you be renewed by the presence of the Lord

As though being born anew

Like a newborn with every bit of life ahead of them

You have not missed anything

May today be the beginning of days for you

Just as God said to Israel after they left Egypt

Four hundred years were simply wiped from the slate

Because a new life had begun for each of them

May you find joy and peace for your new journey

As you are greeted with new mercies every day

And forgiveness as you walk with the Lord

And hope as the Father sings over you His songs of deliverance

Sunday’s Blessing – 04/21/2024

May you be drenched by the rain from Heaven

As God showers you daily with new mercies

As you bask in the grace of the Lord

As you are led, step by step, by the Spirit

May the living water flow freely from you

To keep you cleansed

To provide hope and healing to your world

To water others who may be parched

May the rivers of living water overwhelm you

To provide deep waters to swim in

To carry you in your purpose

To make deserts blossom

Sunday’s Blessing – 04/14/2024

Sunday’s Blessing – 04/14/2024

May you never lose sight of the excitement of Easter Sunday

Because God’s resurrection power is present every moment

Because two thousand years doesn’t diminish the forgiveness accomplished by Christ

Because you still need God’s new mercies every day

May you live with the revelation that you have been made spotless

Spotless now, not then

Spotless regardless of whatever

Spotless by His righteousness in us

May you marvel every day at the wonder of these truths

That God loves you. Period.

That Jesus forgave you. Period.

That you are free to love others from this place

Sense, Since, Scents, Cents

Sense, since, scents, cents: English is hard. Communication is harder. I wish I knew another language besides English. I took some Spanish in college, but never anything beyond the required 2 semesters. I feel that my disdain for English would probably be quelled by the complexity of other languages. They are probably all difficult. However, I feel English is complicated by "melting" all kinds of things from many languages. Regardless, I still hate English as a form of communication. Unfortunately, I have no valid alternative.

Sunday’s Blessing – 04/07/2024

Since tomorrow is the lunar eclipse across the Midwest, Southeast, and Northeast of the United States

May you experience the reality of the Lord “overshadowing” you

Just as He did with Mary, the mother of Jesus

When His presence became so intense around her that a baby was formed in her womb

May you experience an encounter with the Holy Spirit so profound

That something new is birthed in you, so God can use it through you

To bring a revelation of the King and His Kingdom to those around you

May you experience the covering of the Lord

Just as the disciples experienced at the transfiguration of Jesus

So that you can have open fellowship with the Father as He communes with you

May you live in a state of “eclipse” 

Where you pass fully in the path of the light of God to the point of being overshadowed

Absorbing His mercy and grace which He is always pouring out on His beloved

May tomorrow be a sign of God’s love for you

Where you are fully encompassed by His illumination

Which will give you vision to see the direction you should go
