Caught in the Act

So I need some advice. My wonderful, pesky children have indulged themselves in a controversial act. Some might laugh, others might cry. I'm not sure what to think so I need an outside opinion :-).

First Wednesday services at New Hope Church are our communion services. The pastor's kids (ie mine) have decided that the communion cups (grape juice) are just the right size for their little mouths. Between the two of them, they chugged around 30 cups on Wednesday night.

Do you think God is displeased? Or should we lighten up a bit and recognize that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these? :-)

Thank you Ronni Carrick for the wonderful picture!!

Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire

If you haven't read this book, it is a must read. The author is Jim Cymbala, the pastor of The Brooklyn Tabernacle.

His church is a testimony to PRAYER. True, pure, crying-out-to-God sort of prayer. On your knees in humble submission to a Mighty God ... who is capable of doing far more than we could ever dream.

Our God instructs us to pray. He says we do not have because we do not ask (properly). Our God wants to take New Hope Church, Bend, Oregon, and beyond to another level with Him. It will begin with prayer.

Would you join me in prayer to a Heavenly Father who desires us to walk with Him daily? Would you be a prayer warrior for your family, friends, church, community, and beyond? I don't think that we can imagine what God might do if we devoted ourselves to prayer.
