Today I sat listening for God and my ears were filled with the speech of birds. There are so many songs, whistles, and chirps. I remember God provides food for the birds and they do not worry. I think of how diverse His creation is, but how perfectly interdependent. I think He is telling me we can not leave those who are sing a different song out of the body of Christ. They are loved and valued by the creator just as I am loved and valued. Each has an important role in the body so leaving any out is like cutting off a hand or plucking out an eye.
Lord, Father, Daddy, May we not leave any behind becuase they are different.

Today I read Psalms 75-77 and 100 aloud.
Last night I was blessed to be in the community of Christ and the Spirit was strong. All praise and glory be to God. It blows my mind the effect of a group of Christians gathering in Christ’s name, pouring their hearts our in prayer, and worshiping his Majesty. There are no words to describe this. Thank you Lord!
Today is a day to praise the Lord. I can do no more. I can do none other.
Jim - Congratulations!
Special prayers for Jay, Calvin, and Kevin as we have missed them for some time now. Lord, keep them close to you and may they be aware of your eternal and continual closeness to them.
Please pray for my family that we are fulled to overflowing with the Spirit and that his fire burns so bright in each of us that it is visible from the outside a witness to God’s glory. This is my prayer for each of you.
