Growing describes life, living, change. It embodies hope and a future. Hopefully, this chronicling of personal growth will multiply the crops. I want this to provide variety, and to give food for thought, not just a pastime for the person writing.

T4G just got real personal
I have read David Platt's book Radical and highly recommend it. Tonight I finished WATCHING him via video deliver a message intended for pastors, but I promise you, THAT if you take the hour necessary to watch this, you will be PROFOUNDLY MOVED. What implications are there for us, the sheep in the pews? Well, as he suggests, we can all pray.
Yes, I know that almost sounds like a cliche. It almost sounds like another one to say we can go on short time trips. And yet what I am suggesting is hardly easy! If we really grasp the seriousness of the topic, if we do see the Lamb that was slain in a deeper way than our almost yawn brought on by the familiarity, if we take the time to listen to this message and then meditate on its implications for our own lives, then I truly believe that we will know God and be known by Him in a more intimate way.
I think my good night prayer tonight is about to change. Tonight there is Jacques, Tanya, Bishop Augustine, Bruce and Barbara, Charissa and William, Eleazar, Musa, Franklyn, Thomas and Hauwah to name a few that I will pray for differently than I have in recent days.
