monday, january 16

With our faithful blogmaster out east dining on lobsters,
I’ll attempt to fill in …


Last night was another “life-giving” Quarry (I love Monday nights!). A good night of digging into the Word. A great chance to sort through scripture and explore how others have sought to discern the will of God. Learning from folks in the old testament and the early church:
Naomi, Naaman, Elisha, Gideon … Jesus.
The Coles Notes Version of Discernment Tools:
Pray, Mourn, Pray, Fast, Pray, Roll the Dice, Pray, Commit, Pray Boldly, Act.

I’m still pondering Rob’s statement: “God doesn’t always care what you do or where you are. God is much more concerned with who you are.” Hmmmm …

“And whatever you do, whether in word or in deed,
do everything in the name of Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
~Col 3:16-17

Stay posted for more info to come on Monday at Rob & Lisa’s …
looking forward to being together again, after we all return from travelling, work and sickness ...

PS. For those looking to explore the Prayer of Examen, check out this site (click on the fourth resource down on this page for the document):
