It was a great devotional. If I had to pick a number 1 day that stuck with me if was May 19th.

"Out of the Wreck I Rise"
God does not keep a man immune from trouble; He says-"I will be with him in trouble." It does not matter what actual troubles in the most extreme form get hold of a man's life, not one of them can separate him from his relationship to God. ............Either Jesus Christ is a deceiver and Paul is deluded, or some extraordinary thing happens to a man who holds on to the love of God when the odds are against God's character. Logic is silenced in the face of every one of these things. Only one thing can account for it-the love of God in Christ. "Out of the wreck I rise" every time.

To Drink or Not to Drink?

Here's some discussion about drinking and the Christian life from a university professor's blog that I follow. First a letter from a conflicted Christian, then the blogger's response. Both are worth reading. Great question; great response.

Prayer!

I am taking what is a bold step for me this school year and attempting to initiate a faculty prayer group before school on Tuesdays. I'm sending a school wide email after school today inviting anyone in the building. I really have no idea who - if anyone - will come. Our first meeting will be next Tuesday. I'd appreciate your prayers!
