Steven Silvia. Never heard of him. Yet he puts together this beautiful evocative video mentioning the simplicity of a prayerful life that says who do I have, who am I without God? And answers, I am nothing. Thus God is all and everything. That simplicity, that memory, that focus and that desire to pursue all […]
Read More Simple PrayerIntroduction Friday evenings. Back when I was growing up (not that I’ve stopped, you understand) at home with my siblings and parents (in reverse order, obviously), this evening was significant. TV would be turned off. The football magazines or comics would have to be put away. Before sun-set any necessary house chores were quickly completed. […]
Read More Prayer Points (WE-110108)You ask God for something and He gives it to you, but you don’t recognise it because it didn’t come as you were expecting it and you often only notice in retrospect. So get this. It’s a Wednesday evening, I’m on my way home from work. On the train I’m so mentally exhausted that I […]
Read More Plugging Into Corporate PrayerDreams. As with a lot of elements of spiritual living they can be dismissed wrongly, or exalted wrongly. Does God still speak through dreams? Yes. Does God want to make a big deal of how He speaks through dreams? No. The big deal is what He is saying in the dream and what of Him […]
Read More Dreaming About YouYou know certain songs remind you of certain places and certain times and certain people. I hear this song and I think of Wellingborough, I think of my younger teen years and I think of my Dad. Back in the day I couldn’t care less about praying. Especially prayer meetings, they were good times to […]
Read More Sweet Hour of PrayerSo much for the hiatus, eh? There were technical difficulties, honest. Me laptop was playing something silly, but I guess what happened was that I just got used to accessing the little netbook of me wife and got me fingers around how small it is. Indeed as the consolation of the beggar and pauper suggests, […]
Read More What I’ve Been Reading LatelyNot that long ago I put on a song by Mr. Smith and referred to a song he did which I really loved. This is that. Do I love anything better than the Lord’s guide to prayer? Not really. Everything is encapsulated in this from acknowledging to requesting to confessing to relationships vertical and horizontal […]
Read More The Lord’s Prayer – Michael W. SmithRecently I was having a go at the term ‘good luck’. From time to time I come across phrases and sayings that tickle me silly for one reason or another. I think of them and then think a bit more about them and get a quizzical look on my face that slowly changes to bafflement […]
Read More Safe and SoundLike The Winans, The Clark Sisters are a group that is often highlighted as the standard of great gospel music. For their time they were ground-breaking and there are many artists and singers who have been inspired by their harmonies, great vocals and crucially their great songs. They were among the artists in my mother’s […]
Read More Pray For The USA – The Clark SistersDon Moen. Don’t know him. Heard some of his songs, still don’t know him. Seen him in a few videos and still don’t know him. What I will say about the fella, though, is that he knows how to put together a good song for the purpose of engaging our hearts and minds to the […]
