Use a Journal to Detect Answers to Prayer

JP Moreland writes about How to Detect Answers to Prayer: The Discipline of Journaling over at Scriptorium Daily.

I want to take a look at the importance of identifying and remembering answers to prayer.

Of the two tasks—identifying and remembering answers to prayer, the latter is relatively easy to discuss, so I will focus most of our attention on learning to identify answers to prayer. Regarding remembering answers to prayer, for over thirty-five years, I have kept a prayer journal. I do not write in it daily. Sometimes I do and sometimes I only write in it once every couple of weeks. What I make sure to do, however, is to record and date important prayer requests I shall concentrate on and recording in detail the date and circumstances associated with a positive answer to them. Over the years I have accumulated an incredible record of answers to prayer (and of prayers that were not answered as I had asked). My faith has been deeply strengthened by looking through this journal from time to time. The journal has been crucial because, otherwise, I would forget the incidents and the incredible, supernatural details that were a part of them.

Really good advice.

You are God Alone

You Are God Alone (Not a god)
by Billy Foote

You are not a god created by human hands.
You are not a god dependent on any mortal man.
You are not a god in need of anything we can give.
By Your plan, that’s just the way it is.

You are God alone, from before time began,

You were on Your throne, You were God alone.
And right now, in the good times and bad,
You are on Your throne, You are God alone.

Unshakeable, unchangeable, unstoppable,
That’s what You are.
Unshakeable, unchangeable, unstoppable,
That’s what You are.

You’re the only God whose power none can contend.

You’re the only God whose name and praise will never end.
You’re the only God who’s worthy of everything we can give.
You are God, that’s just the way it is.

Spurs Honor The Admiral

From San Antonio Express-News:

“It was all very moving, I’ll never forget it,” said Robinson, whose eyes welled up during Rose’s speech. “I remember getting off the plane 15 years ago and there were about 250 people there to greet me. Now there were 25,000 people here.”

Watching The Admiral play was always a joy. The 1995 Western Conference Championship Series against Hakeem and the Rockets will always be a memorable. More than basketball, thanks for your service to your country, your community, and to the Lord.
