Day Fourteen

Day 14.

Whew.  I guess this makes it halfway.  I’ve been read­ing my Bible each morn­ing, and pray­ing for God’s for­give­ness, mercy and grace.  So far — He hasn’t had any prob­lems giv­ing me those three things.  For that I am truly grateful.

I just got back from Photo Scav­enger Hunt with the col­lege class […]

…and on the thir­teenth day, God cre­ated the Sur­prises for day four­teen.” –the week after creation

Do you know the feel­ing when things are hap­pen­ing, and there’s some­thing wait­ing around the cor­ner?  In this case, things seem to be going really well, and there’s some­thing wait­ing for you that God has planned — just around […]

“The Cleans­ing Wave”

Oh, now I see the cleans­ing wave!
The foun­tain deep and wide;
Jesus, my Lord, mighty to save,
Points to His wounded side.

Refrain

The cleans­ing stream I see! I see!
I plunge, and oh, it cleanseth me!
Oh, praise the Lord! It cleanseth me!

Day Eleven

Sur­prise!  Another day has come and gone.  I really have some things I should be doing other than work and sleep.  Per­haps tomorrow’s sur­prise (hope I’m not spoil­ing it, God!) should be that I’ll have time to work on my other projects.

God sent some refresh­ing rain this morn­ing — it was won­der­ful and seems […]

Day Ten

On August 18, 2009 By

Tues­day has proved to be a won­der­ful day.  Work was lighter, smiles were larger and the weather held some inter­est­ing sur­prises that would have made for some great pic­tures, had I taken my cam­era out and risked get­ting it wet.

Well, there’s ten days passed and twenty days to go.  It’s excit­ing to see that I’ve […]

Day Nine

On August 17, 2009 By

Good evening.  I’m glad you came back.  It seems some­times that when you find out some­one else has done some­thing stu­pid (like for­get to read and pray in the morn­ing) that you let them won­der away from you and don’t try to keep them close.  I’m glad that after yesterday’s con­fes­sion, you’ve decided to stick […]

Day Eight

On August 16, 2009 By

Well, I must be human. I broke the habit — sort of.  I did not start today with read­ing my Bible and prayer, but it was close.  I started with Men’s Prayer Meet­ing at church.  I did read my Bible and pray, but not as a per­sonal devo­tion, but more as part of somone else’s […]

Day Seven

On August 15, 2009 By

No excuses.

So, I was in bed, ready for my overnight nap, but I real­ized I haven’t final­ized the day by writ­ing about how things are going. I almost failed you — and myself!

I was a fab­u­lous day today — the sun was out this after­noon, even after a few rain show­ers this morning, […]
