Are you hungry???
How great is it to live in a land where we get to vote on our leaders. I had an informal history lesson with a friend the other day who was listing the communist ( "closed") countries. Wow - there are more than I thought!
Anyone who knows me well knows my heart on being aware of and praying for the persecuted church.
Please take time to check out www.persecution.com. Make yourself aware of what our brothers and sisters all over the world endure for HIS names sake. Learn how we can minister to them. If you want to host your own "underground service", let me know. We did it on my last youth choir mission trip - it was amazing. God was there...hard to put into words......
I am convinced that a lot of the "little" things that people worry about would fade away if we really knew how well we really have it. We can worship openly without fear that we will be killed right then and there. Who cares if the song being sung is a little too slow for your ( our) taste? Who cares if the sound system is a bit too "hot?" Who cares if you get all praise choruses for one week, or all hymns the next???
When we get deperate and hungry -- he will fill us. He always does.

Thanks for that sock inbetween the eyes! I hate to admit it, but I am guilty of grumbling if we sing every verse of 5 hymns and nothing more contemporary. We take so much for granted, let me rephrase...I take so much for granted and appreciate this powerful message you posted today. I needed that. You are loved, my friend!
preach it sistah!
We are fortunate, there is no doubt about it. The land of the free and the home of the brave!
This is how it feels to be free
We are so blessed! I think of all that had to transpire so that we can have the liberty we have today and it is easy to see that God has been at work in the history of our county. Our freedom is truely a gift from God.
I have wanted to take my kids on a mission trip for years, so my kids could get a glimpse of what it's like to 'be without.' I don't think any of us realizes how blessed we truly are.
