Rob was notified today that a coworker of his lost her 9 year old grandson on Dec. 27th in a freak accident. He was a 3rd grader at Blount Elementary School. Please pray for Judy, her family, and all that knew her grandson during this very difficult time.
Kind of a slow news day, no? It seems like every time I check in on the rest of the world, not much has changed in just a couple of hours. Daddy Spears is getting more money for controlling his bi-polar daughter, Rick Warren this, Obama that, and Lilly Allen stops copying Britney's "Womanizer" long enough to take her top off and copy Amy Winehouse in another sad play for attention. I came across t
by LanceCourtney just posted an excellent rant on November 27th titled "Satan's waiting, and you better believe there are NO donuts." I was going to write a quick reply, but the more I thought about it, the more it turned into a full on rant. So thanks Courtney for your post.My rant has to do with Courtney's observation that all sorts of Christians constantly say that non-like minded Christians

My contribution to this edition of Blog Your Blessings Sunday is the blessings of prayers. I've read that prayers said by others on your behalf are much more powerful than the prayers you pray for yourself. And one of the reasons this may be true is because there isn't any subconscious self-sabotage happening when you pray for others.
I've been blessed BOTH ways: having the opportunity to pray
qwe3, what an incredible blessing that testimony is of God's power and favor in prayer. As we humble ourselves and say that we are not enough, Jesus comes close to us and grants us help in our lives. Thank you so much for sharing this!
When I was in the 5th grade I went to a private Christian school. Every wednesday we had prayer time, where we would go around the room saying a prayer. I was young back then and just from the top of my head I prayed that my grandpa would be healed from cancer. A few years later I remember all this, and realize my grandpa doesnt have cancer anymore! In between those years I had never thought abou

One cute, funny little thing from tonight. After we were told we no longer had tornado warnings (yeah, they just turned the sirens on about 30 minutes afterwards) I took the cranky girls up to bed. Elaina got into bed, snuggled down, and stared at me with those big eyes."Momma, I wake up happy tomowoah.""Okay! Mommy really wants you to wake up happy," I told her with a smile, to show her I was pleased with that statement.Then Elaina closed her eyes and said this, "Jesus, I wake up happy tomowoah. Make Abby wake up happy tomowoah. Amen."P.S. Jewels, in order to get Elaina to settle down some nights she is fighting going to bed, I just say, "Now don't you want to go to bed like a big girl, like Hannah?" And other nights when she is more than willing to hop into bed she tells me, "I go to bed

Just in case you were wondering about the prospects of Whitney Houston returning to vocal stardom...here is an "unfortunate" update.Whitney is d-u-n...DUN!Whitney couldn't out-sing Britney Spears in a karaoke contest so it seems. If you check out the video below from her recent "performance" in Tobago, Houston struggles mightily to perform ballads, with zero upper register. Not only that, the keys in which she now sings her classic songs are also well below that which they were originally written.Granted, all vocalists lose range and some tonality with age; but lack of pitch and ability to sustain notes on any level or irrefutable signs of vocal atrophy, abuse and permanent damage to the cords. The woman is only 44.In other words, with the exception of studio vocal "tricks" the true sin

By Chuck Lunney I’m sure that many readers have heard that Thursday is the National Day of Prayer. It’s supposed to be a day when believers of all faiths gather to kneel down and pray for healing, hope and peace (at least, I certainly hope that’s what most people would pray for).I do appreciate the sentiment, and I know prayer makes those doing the praying feel better, but unfortunately prayer is one of the most objectively ineffective and useless forms of assistance. Other than making those doing the praying “feel better,” numerous studies have shown time and again that prayer fails to benefit those who are prayed for, and at best it is no better than a placebo. As an atheist, that just seems like a tremendous waste of time and personal effort, which I’d prefer to see spent in

If you've ever seen a Catholic Mass, you've no doubt seen a scene where an altar server brings a binder or book to the priest to read from his chair ... and you've seen the priest read from the altar, as well, during communion. The same can be said of a Mass celebrated by the pope. Ever wonder what the inside of that binder or book looks like?Well, you can download all of the prayers and the order of Mass the pope will use while he's in America by clicking here. You'll need Adobe Reader to view the files. Of note is the prayer the pope will offer while at Ground Zero.He prays for all whose lives were lost in New York, Washington and Shanksville, Pa. Interestingly, he also calls to conversion those who promote hatred and terrorism. It is this prayer that is perhaps most intriguing of the en
It is always an advantage to teach very young children to pray. I started to teach Ethan to say his prayers at an age when he can't even speak yet. I just tell him that it's time to pray to Jesus. No explanation. I was the one praying while he had his hands folded. We both say Amen at the end of the prayer.Praying should be a habit. We should start our children on the praying habit at the earliest possible time. Here are some evening or bedtime prayers you can teach your child.Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me: Bless Thy little child to-night; Through the darkness be Thou near me, Keep me safe till morning light. All this day Thy hand has led me, And I thank Thee for Thy care; Thou hast w

It’s a game of inches. Speed kills.These sports clichés came to life Thursday night at Shea Stadium as Angel Pagan drove in Jose Reyes in the bottom of the 12th to give the New York Mets a 4-3 victory over their division rival, the Philadelphia Phillies.Pagan hit a single up the middle off of Philadelphia reliever Tom Gordon. With the outfield playing shallow against the speedy Reyes, who had doubled the previous at bat, center fielder Jayson Werth threw a strike to catcher Chris Coste. Coste blocked the plate and Reyes tripped over his foot, tagging home plate with his left hand just before Coste could apply the tag to Reyes’s back.Predictably, Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel argued the call with home plate umpire Ted Barrett, but his efforts were to no avail.Pagan’s game-winne

These prayers, especially as they are structured in the extraordinary form of the Roman rite -- the Mass of Bl. John XXIII -- have received considerable attention recently, particularly the prayer for the Jews. The older form of the Mass affords Catholics on Good Friday the opportunity to pray both for the "conversion of the Jews" and the "conversion of non-Christians." The ordinary form of the Roman rite, the Mass of Paul VI, is even more "itemized": a "prayer for the Jewish people," a "prayer for those who do not believe in Christ," and a "prayer for those who do not believe in God." That takes care of pretty much everybody, doesn't it?In the new Mass -- the Mass that most of us will hear on Good Friday -- the prayer for those who do not believe in God at all is particularly interesting
