PRAYING FOR OTHERS

I've discovered something negative about myself and before revealing what it is, I want to tell you that I have corrected the problem. I had a horrible prayer life.  I prayed regularly, but for my needs, my desires, my family etc.  When asked, I intended to pray for others, but then I'd forget to do so. 

After spending much time in prayer about this problem, I accidentally discovered a solution.  Well, it wasn't actually an accident, I believe it was one of those God moments where he revealed to me, a plan that would keep me on track.  

The plan is what I refer to a thirty-day prayer challenge.  I'm very excited about the discovery and plan to write about what I am experiencing and how this same challenge can help you.  I'm not revealing very much information about it right now, but once I've gotten all the kinks out of the program or challenge, I plan to write about it and possibility put it into a book.

If you want to know more details, check my blog.  I've blogged about it a few times and included ways you can help and get involved by completing a survey or questioneer.

BITS AND BITES - 

I have a heart for pastors, and pastor's wives.  Why wouldn't I, since my son is a pastor and my daughter in law is a pastor's wife. I'm currently working on a compilation book titled Bits and Bites for the Pastor's Wife.  It's a book of advice and experiences submitted by experienced pastor's wives along with their pie recipes.  It's organized in an easy to read format where a person could read a couple of stories, put the book down and return to it later without having to re-read. The pie recipes are awesome and will be a great for anyone looking for something a little different to take to a church pot-luck. 

I'm working on the proposal and searching for a publisher.  I'm finding that this is the part of the book project that takes the longest.  

  CASTING BREAD UPON THE WATER   

 A history of Kirksville Baptist Church with a glimpse into the Kirksville Community. This project has been on going forever or so it seems.  I've complied our church history along with memories of some of the more seasoned members into a book.  It has been exciting for me to learn more about this special place as well as our community. It will be published in the next few months and I will be providing more information as it becomes available. I've gone through many titles, but I think Casting Bread Upon the Water (See Ecclesiastes 11:1) is the one I will keep.  I like it.
