I substitute taught for the high school Sunday school class this week and we talked about prayer.  The following is our Sunday school class' prayer based on what Jesus taught his closest followers.  I think it's pretty cool because we wrote this as a group and then read it together before leaving class.

 

Glorious Father who sits on His throne in heaven. Set apart be your precious name.Your amazingness and splendor come here like in heaven.  Give us your physical and spiritual food everyday.  Cleanse us of all our faults just as we forgive the faults of others.  Keep our eyes and our hearts pure and keep us safe and out of danger.

Amen

One week and one day from now the high school youth group will be headed north to go canoeing on the Pere Marquette River.  While looking for a place to camp, I realized that the river runs right by a town called Baldwin.  This has got to be the most beautiful town in Michigan.  I can't wait to see my town and rule over the Baldwinites that live there.  If you are in high school and you want to be a part of our canoe adventure then let me know this week!

PS. Happy Birthday, Leah....I love you.

I am in Peoria, IL tonight for the annual Fellowship of Evangelical Churches conference.  It's being held at Northwoods Community Church.  It's interesting to me because I have never been a part of a conference of churches before so I don't really know what to expect with this conference. The theme this year is Building on a Firm Foundation.  This is challenging in two ways.  First, I've realized that it's good to have a firm foundation of Biblical churches and I'm thankful for that.  Secondly, I've already been encouraged to continue the building and I hope I can do that in Lawton.
