Last year I began learning (or re-learning, rather) about the vocation of Jesus and the church's calling. Now I hope and pray to reclaim, with perhaps a few corrections, my vocation to Brazilian evangelism. Vocation.

I was so blessed by doing it the first year, I have continued every year. My prayer for this hear is "Help me hear you clearly and obey You quickly." May God bless your year of meditation with a deeper knowledge of His love and power.

Not because of Mike's comments, but the banter that followed. I came back today and read a few posts and the comment threads, and I am saddened to see that so many use this as a forum to take cheap shots at one another like calling each other names and laughing at spelling mistakes like little children. I guess one word that I would like for us all to consider is "grace". May we give the same grace to others that we would like to receive from Christ.

I so desire the peace that passes understanding that is talked about in Scripture, a true peace in spite of circumstances. I desire the peace of Jesus and to focus on His "non-anxious" presence in my life. To realize that only a few things really matter - it's all about Him, not about us and our trivial problems we get so uptight about. My word will be “peace”.
