History is being made today! I plan to have the tv on, discuss the day's events with my kids while praying for Barack Obama and his family throughout today and the coming years. "I urge you, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of ... Read More about Inauguration Day 2009!
Compassion, Meekness, Quietness, Kindness
The words I listed in the title of my post have all had an impact on me in the past week. I am learning that as I choose to focus on this thing called "compassion" the Lord is showing me that so many of the words and qualities are all intertwined.

This week I have begun a book study ... Read More about Compassion, Meekness, Quietness, Kindness

The impact of NO compassion…
Today our pastor used the word compassion in his message outline...so of course, when he said "compassion" inside my head I thought "ding! ding! ding!" Compassion is my word of the year for 2009, and anytime I hear that word mentioned or I read it in the Word my heart is extra sensitive towards what is being shared.Our church was sharing the Lord's Supper today and so much of the sermon beforehand was about division in the church.
