OH YES. Offer him those loaves and fishes.

Don’t miss this listen–What is the real use of reading? Is what we read more important than how we read? Why do some people who read for years never develop the habits of reading well?

This new one is so good!

THIS! As a family that lives with dirt under our fingernails…
“…manual labour can be good work, that skilled labour is not mindless, that exhausting work can be deeply satisfying, and that even a stinky, slimy, grimy, smeary, nasty job can be a locus of the sacred.”

YES!
“Christ is my firm foundation
The rock on which I stand
When everything around me is shaken
I’ve never been more glad
That I put my faith in Jesus”

[from our Facebook community – join us?]

…just for today — DO. NOT. WORRY.

“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now,
and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow.
God will help you deal with whatever hard things
come up when the time comes.”
Matt6:34MSG

Just for today:
Be a prayer warrior—not a panicked worrier.

Worry is just the facade of taking action — when prayer really is. 

That’s all for this weekend, friends.

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.

Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
