DEVOTION: Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God and everyone that loves is born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7
This past weekend I introduced what I call PRAYER AND CARE JOURNALS during the sermon. These are journals that you can use to list people who may need your prayers or your care and then hold yourself accountable to do it for them.
It is a very simple thing, but one that will help you do what God has called you to do. That's right. GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO LOVE!!
As we are all human beings though, we often fall short of God's requirements and commands. We don't even come close to doing what God wants us to do. That is why God sent His Son, Jesus to die for us.
That doesn't mean we give up and quit trying to love the Lord our God and our neighbor as ouselves. It is just the opposite. By the power of the Holy Spirit who now lives in us, we are able to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Because we are saved we are no slaves to HIS righteousness which causes us to strive toward what is ahead and forget about what is behind to take hold of heaven.
I want to urge you to make use of those prayer and care journals, but not out of a sense of duty or because you feel as though you have to. I want you to use them with a joyful spirit so that you may grow in Christ and grow others in Christ as well.
Prayer: Lord God, we thank you for giving us the power to pray for and care for others as you have cared for us. Help us to do it so that both others as well as we ourselves may be blessed by you. Amen.

DEVOTION: But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14
By now many of us have been Christmas shopping.
Most of us are pretty much alike in the things we need to make that annual venture into the mobs of madness, which surround the season of gift giving. We get our car keys, our lists, our checkbooks and credit cards. I am willing to say not a single one of our Daily Devotion readers remembered to bring -- and were planning on using -- their cans of tear gas.
Even so, that is exactly what a woman did at a Los Angeles Wal-Mart. Afraid she would not capture her choice presents, she decided to gas the folks who were waiting in line with her. It appears her plan was a success as she managed to move 200 fellow shoppers out of her way.
Police Lieutenant Abel Parga told the Associated Press the lady was "competitive shopping." That's putting the "best construction on everything." If I had been one of those who had found my eyes watering and my throat burning, I would have referred to the lady as being "an out-of-control, over-stressed individual, who had deliberately and with malice aforethought committed a massive assault and battery upon innocent and unsuspecting shoppers."
What the lady did was terribly wrong and hardly the kind of way God's people ought to remember the Savior's birth. The only positive thing I can say about the woman is that she understood better than most the point St. Paul was making in our Daily Devotion text for today.
By that I mean she was successful as she strained toward what lay ahead; she was solid as she pressed on toward her goal; she was single-minded in her desire to win the prize.
Sadly, the acquisition of Christmas presents -- and not the worshipping of the Christ -- was her goal.
In that, I suppose, she is not alone. Maybe you know some folks who go Christmas shopping, but never worship the Lamb of God.
This is why we who have seen the gift of forgiveness and salvation the Babe of Bethlehem has won should always keep His worship at the forefront of our celebrations. The world may see the gifts, but we need to see God's great gift of grace which comes to us in the Person of His Son.
Worshipping and sharing the Savior ... that is the goal toward which we must press this Advent, and always.
THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, keep me ever mindful that while earthly gifts and presents are nice, they are but a shadow of the gift which is given to us in Jesus' birth. May His presence in our hearts keep all our Christmas' celebrations in proper perspective. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

November 30
Posted 9 hours agoThese are some very tough days for Jonas. The one-two punch of chemo and ratiation is very difficult to bear. Just over a month ago when Jonas was between the induction phase and the consolidation phase with radiation just beginning, he was feeling faily well and putting on weight. He worked his way back into the chemotherapy and two weeks ago had one of his worst experiences with chemo in a long time. Additionally, the affects of the radiation are cumulative and as he gets further and further into the regimine it is so painful. It has caused a pretty good burn on his left temple, cheek and inside his mouth, the roof and throat. The chemo too causes sores on the muscosa membranes inside his mouth and throughout his digestive tract. Because of this and because the radiation has caused a tightening of the muscles on the left side of his face (and he can barely open his mouth again) he is once again being fed through the tube on his abdomen ( his g-tube ). Just swallowing is painful and he talks very little, if at all. It just hurts to move his tongue. This past week he has been fighting some infection and has had several blood tranfusions and courses of antibiotics. He is losing weight again, riding in the wheelchair instead of walking and his spirits are low. But we are nearing the end of radiation. He has only two more treatments of radiation to go... which is good news, but the bad news is ... he has two more treatments of radiation to go. Then proton therapy radiation will be over. Chemotherapy will continue through the end of March, at least.
I have been having trouble getting pictures to upload on this page lately but will try again today, especially so that when he gets back you won't be too surprised at how he looks.
Lots of people have been asking when he will be back in Kansas City. Our plan is to leave Houston over this upcoming weekend. He is very adamant about going up to school sometime next week, probably not to attend any classes but to to make arrangements for next semester and to see some teachers and friends. Of course all this is dependent upon his health and what he can tolerate....even the travel. We will see.
Thank you for all your well-wishing. Every word of encouragement and hope is dear to our hearts.Send a message
