Portals of Prayer. While I was visiting one of our members in the hospital yesterday, she and her husband were telling me how they read their Portals of Prayer together every morning. I think that sometimes Christians think that unless they are devoting a goodly amount of time for Bible study and prayer, their devotional time is bogus. Not true! Portals of Prayer gives the reader a short Bible reading, a devotion that can be read in a couple of minutes and a prayer to help you start the day. A very valuable too indeed.
Playing with our little group. This weekend Connie, Dan, Ron and I - joined by Pete on guitar - will provide the music for our Saturday service at 5 pm and will play "Cornerstone" and "In Christ Alone" during our Deacons Installation service Sunday afternoon at 3 pm. I can't explain it but there seems to be something magical when we practice a song and it suddenly comes together.We have lots of fun!
Proclaiming God's Word. And I get to do a lot of it this weekend. Saturday morning I'll provide the opening devotion for the LWML Zone gathering; Saturday afternoon I'll meet with the Hertzog family for a committal service for their mother, Loretta. Sunday, at 8 and 11 am, I'll share the message, "No More Tears," for All Saints Sunday. How could I have known years ago that my career in radio broadcasting would actually be a warm up for sharing the good news of Jesus' love for three congregations. Praise God!
Have a blessed weekend in the Lord!
