Devotions: Erik Raymond, aka Irish Calvinist, has posted a helpful article with suggestions about how to have a meaningful time of family devotions. “Many men struggle in the area of family devotions.

Prayer: Amy’s daughter Rachel could use our prayers! “Rebekah, was taken to the hospital today at 2 p.m. Her symptoms include excessive vomiting, chills, hallucinations, and a fever of 105.4 (taken under her arm).”

Weird: I don’t recall if I posted this already: “Escaped Labrador dies after pastor fends off attack.” The dog was beaten off (i.e. stabbed) by none other than Ron Gleason who used to guest blog here.

Blogspotting: “Light Along the Journey” has an embarrasingly kind “review” of my web site.
