Prayer is the rudder that guides us through the day, helping us to make those decisions that impact our future. Prayer is the centering of our lives on what is most important. It gives us a relationship with Jesus that stirs us to have an understanding of what life is all about. It guides us in grace. It fills us with the presence of God. It gives us the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Those families who raise their children with a prayer life will find the peace that is beyond understanding. Our lives are changed because of prayer.
God bless!!
God's greatest blessing - Children!!

Day Forty-Two, Tuesday of Holy Week March 30, 2010
"Know thyself!" "The unexamined life is not worth living."
These are old philosophies that hold true even today. We humans tend to live by everything that is outside of us. What the culture of our times holds to be true, we believe is true. But once we examine ourselves and begin to see our goodness and our sinfulness, we come to a deeper revelation of moral truths. We begin to know what is right and what is wrong and we can no longer live the lie of the culture. God is real and He desires that we know the truth. Spend time in the silence of your heart and get to know the truth about God and about yourself.
God bless!!

Day Forty-One, Monday of Holy Week March 29, 2010
Today as we enter into Holy Week let us be reminded of the greatness and wonder of our good and faithful God, creator and redeemer. He will lead us where we need to go, if we let Him. Unfortunately we have become a nation of idolators. We have a desire to worship. But what do we worship? Do we worship the true God or do we worship something else? Too often our worship begins with the I, ourselves, instead of God who created us with great love. Deep down we know that there is something more so we continue to frantically search for it. But we search in all the wrong places. We desire passion, power, possessions. We become addicted to things, people, places. We long to be satisfied and desire what we think will satisfy. And when it doesn't we move on to other addictions. And God waits. He is patient, kind and understanding. He desires to give us the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Sit in silence today and know the awesome wonder and power of our God.
God bless!!
God bless!!
