Hi Reader, I just watched this 23-minute video titled, "Do NOT Begin to PRAY without doing this First: C.S. Lewis Messages." I wanted to share it with you. But be warned: you might feel convicted. The speaker criticizes praying while laying in bed.
If you're ready to be challenged with your prayer practices, click here to have a listen... The video includes quotes from C.S. Lewis. The narrator says there are two types of prayer: Praying in the flesh and praying in the spirit. He says it another way - that there are two dimensions of prayer: The earthly and the heavenly. But he says only one is effective (you can guess which one). He says you should "pray and operate from the very presence of God." Feel free to reply to let me know what you think...

Hi Reader, I'm working on writing a book with my parents. It's a 50-day devotional about their travels to all 50 states in the USA. A while back, when I was working on the devotion for the state of Alaska, I was looking at some Bible verses appropriate for that devotion. The theme is change. I came across the verse below (which I remember I sent in an email last year to all of you who were on my list then)... "This is my prayer for you: that your love will grow more and more; that you will...
Hi Reader, My wife and I adopted a dog on April 1. She seems to melt hearts wherever we take her. Here's the short version of the story: My wife saw pictures of the dog on Instagram. She was found a few months ago and needed a new home. Because we live on the third floor and we travel quite a lot, I didn't want a dog. Actually, I've always been firmly against it. "The dog will pee on the floor and it will go into the neighbor's ceiling downstairs," I'd tell my wife, who had wanted a dog for a...
Hi Reader, A real quick email, sharing a short prayer and a link to a few no-cost ebooks. A few days ago, I was watching a worship song video on YouTube by the Dwelling Place Church. I scrolled down on the page and saw this comment under the video: If you can't see the image, it says: "To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now....
