When Prayer is Really Prayer

Some people pray because they want something, material goods, happiness, health, and so on. Others get down on their knees to offer thanks and praise the Lord. And yet others think of prayer as conversation with God. It’s the time they’ve set aside to talk to him, to tell him about their plans and goals, to ask for his opinion and seek his support and blessings, and to cry on his shoulders when things are not going too well. Each of us prays in different ways, but prayer is really prayer only when:

Being Thankful
By Carrie | 1 Comment

Well, today is Thanksgiving and the start of the downhill slide towards the hectic holiday season. The end of the year always feels like it is on fast-forward and before you know it we will be celebrating a New Year and wondering where 2008 went.
But despite the hecticness, today is a day to remember all the things we are thankful for, and as children of God there is much to be grateful about. No matter what our personal circumstances are this season, we serve a mighty God who has saved us from the wrath to come through the sacrifice of his Son. We did nothing to deserve this great act of mercy and yet here we stand in the righteousness of Christ.

A Sad Day for My Country
By Carrie | 15 Comments
Yesterday was a sad day. I didn’t stay up on Tuesday evening to see the results of the election but I knew when I went to bed that things didn’t look promising. When I awoke in the morning and turned on the radio my fears were confirmed. Barak Obama had won the election.
Over the last few weeks my husband had talked to our six-year daughter about the candidates, who we stood for and why. When I told her on Tuesday that everyone was voting she said she hoped John McCain would win. I told her that may not happen but she told me not to worry, God would let the “good man” win.
