Drinking from a fire hydrant

This week, for whatever reason, I have been consuming massive amounts of information. Podcasts. Live church streams. Articles. Blogs. Books. It’s like I am information starved. I don’t know what it is but I have been like Pacman eating the white dots. What gives? Am I digital glutton? Crazy. My add to favorites section is bloated.

Men’s Prayer

As usual, early morning prayer was so good. It’s such a calming time. I can focus on God. I can clear my head. I can get new information. I can close everything off and spend some uninterrupted time with my Creator! I really love men’s prayer on Friday mornings. Truth is, there are times when getting up is difficult. Yesterday, I left the house at 7:30 am and didn’t get home until 10:00 pm. And I was pretty wiped out. But it was worth getting up and spending extra time with God. My daily devotions and quiet time are good. But this extra hour is fabulous.

Pivotal Prayers

I continue to read this book called Pivotal Prayers. I really believe prayer and communion with Christ is what keeps off the junk. Depression. Frustration. Anxiety. Anger. Disillusion. Apathy. Isn’t it tough to really encounter Christ in prayer and be worse off than before the encounter? I think so. We all know situations aren’t immediately resolved after prayer. But our resolve immediately affects the situation.

New World Sun

I have to admit I didnt like this band at first when I heard them on tour with the Newsboys. But they have grown on me. I am downloading the album now. The vote from the family on whether they like them is

Son - Yes
Daughter - No
Me - Yes
Wife - Haven’t asked yet.

Thanks for nothing Starbucks

I bought a very overpriced beverage at Starbucks. Hoping the free wi-fi thing had kicked, I plunked down to log in. Nope. I had to use the pizza place’s free wifi from next door. Seriously. How much is wifi a month? Seriously.
