Sunday Stroll, 7/9/17: 9 THINGS THAT MAKE THIS A TALL ORDER
This devotional prayer about Galatians 5:22-26 was in this morning’s inbox. “Dear Father, grower of spiritual fruit, “Let the fruit of the Spirit blossom, mature, and ripen in my life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

QTMs for 11/6/16: WHAT A PRIVILEGE . . .
I say, “More things are wrought by prayer–” And you finish with, “–than this world dreams of.” I awoke early this morning with someone on my heart and mind.

The meme reads, “The devil doesn’t come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything you’ve ever wished for.

100-Word Stroll for 8/7/16: IT’S CALLED A BORESNAKE

100-Word Stroll: OILY PRINTS ON MY MONITOR
There it is. The Christian Bat Signal! “Prayer needed. Going through some rough waters.” If you look at my venerable Samsung SyncMaster 712N monitor from the right angle, you’ll see some weird oblong smudges on the left side. Five of ’em.

It was one of those mornings. Spiritual warriors, veteran pray-ers who are living definitions of ‘intercession’ know exactly what I’m talking about.
