National Day of Prayer

Okay, so we have several events taking place this week here in Leoti. A prayer walk around town on Sunday the 1st, a youth rally Wednesday night, a prayer time on Thursday morning followed by a breakfast, and a gathering around the flag pole at noon on Thursday. Will we pray, will we merely socialize, will we be a witness to the community - what do you think will happen? Do you think anything will happen? Do you want anything to happen? Since you don't have to put your real name in response, what do you really think of the national day of prayer - what do you think, youth? - young adults? - parents and grandparents? Will you attend? I will be there and would love to see as many as are able to come and pray for the town, the community and the country. Who knows, maybe God will hear our prayers and heal our land?? Give me your thoughts. Be honest.

Stuff

Recently I preached a sermon concerning the problem people have when it comes to deciding what is a "want' versus a "need". When it comes down to it, I have all I need - a good family, food, shelter, clothes, I love my job (most of the time) and a good relationship with the Lord. So why do I fall into the trap of thinking I "need" more stuff? Is it societal, cultural, or what? Like the Diamond Rio song - Stuff (stuff) stack it on up...got to build a bigger place so I can move in More Stuff. What say you??
