In 5 minutes I will get in my car and enjoy my new Passion ’05 CD on my way to Marion.
I have a District Youth Cabinet meeting there this afternoon and evening.
The road to Marion is paved with boredom.
Passion will be inspiring. Maybe I’ll even sing along a bit.
Bound4Life sent me my red “LIFE” arm-band today in the mail. I ordered it from their website a few weeks ago.
Bound4Life is a “post-modern” attempt at empowering those of us who are pro-life. They have a non-violent, non-explicit, and non-invasive plan to take a pro-life stand in today’s culture.
The Bound4Life Covenant:
– I will pray that abortion will end every time I see the bound for life wristband.
– I will vote for candidates who are actively pro-life.
– I will obey God as he leads me into the works of Compassion and Justice.
They ask that each of us pray this prayer, “Almighty God, I plead Jesus’ blood over my sins and the sins of this nation. End abortion and send revival to America.”
I’m particularly impressed with their “silent sieges” where they take a pro-life stand in silence wearing “LIFE” across their lips in red tape:
All 500 pages of this Peretti novel were devoured by me yesterday and into this morning. I read the first 150 pages during the afternoon between Sunday morning services and Sunday evening service.
When Jess and I came home from church we decided NOT to watch any television, but to involve ourselves in our books!
At about 10:30 Jess gave up trying to stay awake to read, so I headed back out to the living room with the light over my shoulder, I continued to read, and read some more, and read some more.
I finished this morning at about 2AM. Altogether, I spent about 6 hours reading this book.
The book was VERY different than normal Frank Peretti books! I expected the “monster” to be somewhat of a Spiritual being, sent to earth to wreck us all. That was not the case at all.
Peretti DID show his typical-self in the arena of keeping my attention. I can remember reading “The Visitation” with a simliar reading-habit of not putting the book down until I finished.
I have already passed the book on to one of the ladies here in the office and when she is done, I’ll see if my wife will actually give it a try!
