Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
2but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night. Psalm 1:1,2

Mid Afternoon Meditation 5-20-16
Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers, Psalm 1:1
Are you ever tempted to join the company of mockers? What situations cause you to lean that way? What will it take for you to stay away from them?

Evening Meditation 5-19-20
I am beginning a meditation through the Book of Psalms. This could take a while.
Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers, Psalm 1:1,12
How do I get out of the way of sinners and still live in the world?

Mid Afternoon Meditation 5-29-16
The morning got away from me and honestly I had a spiritual block I had to pray through… so no meditation this morning. This afternoon however lots to think about now that I know where I was blocked.
I am beginning a meditation through the Psalms. This should be fun! Let’s begin.
Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked Psm. 1:1
What does it take for you to walk away from the influence of wickedness around you?

Ferocious Pt. 1
In our meditations here at Lillie-Put we have just worked through I Corinthians 13:4-8. As we were working through the daily thoughts it came to me that perhaps it was time to revisit a study I did on this topic several years ago.
Here is part one of the study called FEROCIOUS.
P.S. don’t mind the notes about the Netherlands. This was last posted back when I was on a trip to that beautiful country. This year I am going nowhere. I am paying my taxes instead. 😦

Evening Meditation 5-18-16
This post is a continuation of our meditations on 1 Corinthians 13. Our evening question is directly connected to the question from our MID AFTERNOON MEDITATION TODAY.
If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. 1 Cor. 13:1-8
What is it like to think that love is all these attributes working together all the time?

Here is your Scripture and question to meditate on for the afternoon.
If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. 1 Cor. 13:1-8
As you look at 1 Corinthians 13 are there any of the attributes you feel would be possible to practice all the time? Which one are you the best at?

Share Your World 2016 Week #20
It’s time to get my sharing of the world done today as the rest of the week is filling up fast.
I have been doing this challenge since shortly after I started blogging and it is one of the activities I hate to miss. Share Your World has been a wonderful way to get to know people across the blogosphere. In fact I met many of my current followers through this forum.
Let me encourage you, if you are new to blogging or even thinking of trying it, add Cee’s five questions to your weekly regimen.
Now here are the five questions of the week and my answers:
When do you feel most connected with others?
Oh my! This is a hard question there are so many wonderful connections life has afforded me: Sunday service, church growth groups, family activities, music and arts groups, blogging….I think though I would have to say I feel most connected when I am in the small group setting at church. It is there that many of my really deep conversations can begin.
What daily habit would you like to introduce to your life?
Oh that is easy. I need to start playing the guitar to get ready for summer camp.
What one mini-little-adventure would you like to have in the coming week?
I am looking forward to going to the movies to see XMEN Apocalypse and Alice Through the Looking Glass. I might make it a double header. I haven’t done that in thirty years or so.
List things or events that changed your Life: It could be as simple as a book or meeting a certain person?
Meeting Jesus
Being called into the ministry at a worship concert
Getting married
Going to Bible college
Entering Ministry
Having children
Getting divorced
Writing a book
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I am so grateful that our Pentecost services were well attended and people were baptized in the Holy Spirit. I am looking forward to going to our Network Council next week (I don’t imagine I will be sharing my world again until I have returned from that).
