Pray for Urbana

The Urbana Mission Conference is going on this week in St. Louis, Dec 27-31. This is the 21st mega mission conference that Intervarsity has sponsored. Although I've never been myself, I know quite a few people who's lives were touched for missions through Urbana in years past. The heart of Urbana is seeing Jesus lifted up among the nations. Let's pray that He will be glorified and the Word would accelerate forth through this year's Urbana. Amen.

Sacrifice?

"If a commission by an earthly king is considered a honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?" -- David Livingstone

A message for all people

One month somehow turned into almost 6 months away from this blog. Yet I am determined to not totally give up on returning to blogging. What can I say about the past 6 months? The Lord is good and gracious and bestows on me more than I could ever ask or think.

I remember when I was a little girl memorizing a passage from Luke for my Sunday School class. There was some sort of class reward for memorizing it, but you know, I still have those words in my heart to this day.

"There were in that same country shepherds abiding in the field keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, an angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for behold I bring you tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you, you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth, Peace, goodwill to men." Luke 2:8-14

Merry Christmas!
