My Convoluted and Complicated Thoughts on Corporate Prayer

July 31, 2015

I think I came out of the womb praying. I can’t remember a time I didn’t talk to God all day long. In fact, I’ve often said praying is like breathing to me. I still say that … because it still is.

I’ve taken a bit of an unscheduled break from the blogosphere over the past couple of weeks, but this morning I ran across a hard copy of this post from a few years ago. As I read it again, I realized this is still exactly What I Really Need: I don’t need … —another great sermon … More What I Really Need

I’m still here, Lord. I’m still here with You. I’m still here waiting with You. I’m still here waiting for You. You already know this, but I’m not going anywhere.

As I was pondering these things, I remembered this post I wrote a few years ago. I think I needed … More Happy Endings

Pieces of My Heart

January 20, 2015

So I worked on this little project before Christmas and I sort of forgot to tell anyone about it. Basically, I’ve published another book called Pieces of My Heart.
