Perhaps it may turn out a sang,
Perhaps turn out a sermon.

Praying in 2013

A prayer for the new year from Colossians1:9-14 --

Father, I ask that each one reading this would be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding so that they and I may live and converse with the world in a way that is worthy of and fully pleasing to You, bearing fruit in every good work to which we are appointed, even as we increase in our knowledge of You. 

I ask that You will strengthen us with all power, according to Your own glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, for which we give thanks continually to You -- the One who has qualified us for a share of the inheritance of the saints in light.  For You, Father, have delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of Your beloved Son -- in Whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Thank you, Mush, for this and all you do here. Know that it means a lot to us out here in the wilderness.
Happy New Year and peace to you and your family in 2013.

Now that there is a good prayer.

(Just picked up a Jerry Clower CD from the $5 bin at Walmart. So that is the voice you should be hearing as you read that.)

Happy New Year my friends.
