This weekend and next, Andrea and I are pulling a few thoughts from the 17th century classic "The Practice of the Presence of God" - thoughts and insights that are attributed to an obscure man named Brother Lawrence. Although I have been familiar with the book and its basic themes for years, I finally read it recently. What a gem! I found a public domain copy and post a link here for you to enjoy as well.

Our friend Brenda Gatlin wrote an article recently for the Vineyard USA website. The Vineyard church in Duluth has been seeing some great things happen over the past few years, where signficant numbers of people are finding healing and hope in Jesus. Take a peek at the article and read a bit about what motivates their church in this mission.

A friend recently posted this video on Facebook. It's of Bono - lead singer of U2, speaking at an awards ceremony for the NAACP. In his short speech, Bono moves from some simple comments abou the NAACP, into some passionate "preaching" about loving the poor around the world. Thought this was a fitting bookend to our World Vision Sunday we had yesterday.

In the middle of talking with a friend this morning, a song kept running through my head - the new song "Fail Us Not" by the band 1000 Generations. The song is a prayer to God - a gut honest prayer that deals with the real hurt, real failures, and real dissapointments of life. And yet, in the middle of all those raw emotions, the prayer is one of hope and trust, looking to God to be bigger than the battles that we face in life.
As I was looking online for the lyrics of the song, I ran across an awesome website that 1000 Generations put together. www.failusnot.com Not only is there a music video of the song (which was great to send to my friend), but there are also a number of videos that the band and others have posted, where they talk about how they found hope and healing in God, even in the midst of or after very difficult events. I think you'll be encouraged by hearing these people's stories.
