Mid Afternoon Meditation 12-17-19

Posted on by under Pastor Wrinkles

5 The heavens praise your wonders, Lord,
    your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones.
6 For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord?
    Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings?
7 In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared;
    he is more awesome than all who surround him.
8 Who is like you, Lord God Almighty?
    You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you. Psalm 89:5-8

What do you think the assembly of the holy ones is like?

The Larger Story

Posted on by under Pastor Wrinkles

I was in prayer before church yesterday as is my normal habit. I had been praying for a few minutes when these two thoughts came to mind. I thought they were worth sharing.

So many of us find ourselves trapped within our own tiny narratives. We desperately need connection to the larger story.

 

The reason more of us don’t join the larger story is because once in it we realize we can no longer be the main character.

 

Share Your World 12-16-19

Posted on by under For Family & Fun

I am shifting some of my time around this week and restructuring my writing sessions in hopes of getting some more time to spend in front of the computer. Today it seems to have worked and actually it increased my effectiveness in some of my other goals as well. Here’s hoping this time shift does the trick! Anyway, what it means at the moment is that I am writing my SHARE YOUR WORLD POST.  on Monday instead of on Friday or Saturday! That in itself is an amazing achievement!

SHARE YOUR WORLD IS THE WEEKLY CHALLENGE WHERE OUR HOSTESS MELANIE  ASKS QUESTIONS AND IN ANSWERING THEM WE ALL SHARE OUR WORLDS. CLICK HERE TO DISCOVER HOW TO GET INVOLVED.

Here are this week’s questions and my answers:

  • Do you enjoy receiving Christmas cards through snail mail?  I actually love getting Christmas cards through the mail. Perhaps next year if I can keep restructuring my schedule I will be ale to send more cards myself that way.
  • Do you like the taste and/or smell of peppermint? I do. peppermint is one of the herbs I grow in my catywhompus gardens and I love the smell and the taste of peppermint tea.
  • What is your least favorite holiday side dish? This will sound weird, but every year I make lasagna and coleslaw. I love the taste of the two things together.
  • What is the coolest (best) gift you ever gave someone? I am not known as a great gift giver. That said I think the best gift I gave was tickets to see Celtic Thunder.
  • Bonus question because I thought it was nifty:   What is a Christmas song that makes you cringe?   (Please insert the word “Holiday” for Christmas if Christmas isn’t your thing or bothers you or something)  The Christmas Hippo Song!

 

GRATITUDE

Please share some of your favorite music around this time of year.
