That they may all be one...
The passage that comes to mind more often than any other these days is Jesus' prayer in the garden. It was all over the place today. He said, "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one..." I return to this text again and again, and rightfully so. Any thought important enough to be on our Lord's mind just before his sacrifice deserves our full attention. I truly believe that the church will be united in purpose before the last day and that we are moving in that direction now. The fingerprints of God's purpose are everywhere. Local churches all over the world seem to be working on the same issues, coming to the same conclusions, and finding joy in the discovery of brothers and sisters that for too many years were considered, at best, part of another church. Brandon asks for prayers for Otter Creek as the praise team strives to be examples of true worship. Sandra tells how she's been in prayer for our service on Sunday as we "sing differently." Mike Cope writes about a period of study coming soon in Abilene where they will be looking at scriptures dealing with the role of women in the church. And the Spirit continues to guide...into all truth...everywhere.This is a new blog. I've already written how strange it seems that Carlos Delgado is a Marlin. Well, as of today, Sammy Sosa is an Oriole! It's nice to be old enough to remember when players didn't change their shirts so often. And superstars hardly ever moved around. If they did it was a big deal! Today it's routine.
James loved Boomers! He rode in a little slick track car all by himself and did great! He rode with his mom once and his dad once in the fast racecars. And we played lots of games and had a wonderful time together. What a blessing it is to watch our sweet baby grow into such a big boy. He's been trying our patience a bit lately...acting out more...being openly defiant at times. It's important to remember how great he is 99% of the time.

It's interesting to read your thoughts...I've always thought you could be a writer. Maybe that's something you can think about when you grow up.
