Day 7: How's it going?

Hello All,
We are into Day 7 of our Pursue 21 church initiative.  How are things going?  I'm sure there have been moments of challenge. I want to encourage you to not only maintain your fast but to utilize the those moments when your are thinking "boy, I sure wish I could have a cookie" or something like that, to pause and pray. Invite God to lead your life. Say "Lord, I want what you want more than what I want!" 

Keep up the good work! AND remember there are a couple of great opportunities for you to Life Journal. Every Sunday morning at 9:15 AM in the Hospitality Room off the Foyer, and also Wednesdays at 6:30 AM at Theo's Coffee House. It's located at 199 w. 8th Street.  It's on the corner of 8th and Charnelton inside the Strand building.  We had a great time last week. Please join us!

Here's an invite!
More later.

DAY TWO: The Cool thing about Fasting

One of the coolest things about fasting is it reminds us how "the natural" is so connected to "the supernatural." I'll always remember line from Jack Hayford years ago.. "spirituality and practicality were never meant to be polar from one another."

Fasting is one spiritual activity that is so very practical. It's challenging and it feels bad sometimes, but somehow it works to change things in supernatural ways.

God really does work in the context of our very human lives. In fact, it's where He does his best work.

So continue on! It will be worth it!
More later.
