When something happens that I perceive as unfortunate, it often turns out to be a blessing in disguise. Because of this, I am trying not to judge situations too quickly.<a href="http://www.mordocrosswords.com/2016/07/reply-to-shall-we.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mordocrosswords.com/2016/07/reply-to-shall-we.html</a>Justin L.

I preach summers in a small log chapel in the north woods to vacationers. I celebrate the connectedness you and your parishoners enacted and pray it continues and builds. The solidarity between pastors is a key to the healing of our broken nation and world. God bless you for your authenticity and wisdom.

The following Sunday on the eve of the RNC a number of our members and I joined 3-4,000 people at an event in Cleveland called Circle the City with Love. It's purpose was to counter the spirit that we expected to see in the convention hall with a message of love and welcome. Those 3-4,000 people spent over 30 minutes in silent prayer and meditation in one huge oval that spanned the length of one of the downtown bridges. The silence and the spirit of the event was very moving. While our church service and the downtown event were very different, they were both needed, as was the centerpiece of both, prayer.Rev Roghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17543049478027305649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110197701822420036.post-69881268050777900952016-07-22T12:19:33.749-05:002016-07-22T12:19:33.749-05:00Yours is a reminder that prayer is most effective ...Yours is a reminder that prayer is most effective when coupled with action.
