Someone once told me that I shouldn’t pray about a certain matter; I should act. Granted maybe it just came out wrong because it was a matter that needed other action. However, I’d like to assert that prayer is action. It is the first action that should be taken before any other action. It is… Read More Day 269- Thankful for the action of prayer

Have you ever noticed how some of your lowest moments come after your highest moments? Sunday morning after a great experience with Drive-In church, I had some of those low moments.

Last night as dusk was gathering, I drove into the Walmart parking lot across the street from our local two-year college. My daughter said, “Watch out!” I looked around and saw nothing out of the ordinary, so I slowly continued on my quest to find a parking spot. I thought maybe my daughter just thought… Read More Scripture Prayer #5 + a story
