1 John 3:21-24 -- Detour ... how to pray

I love "God-incidents" and this morning I had one.  I've been reading a book and had no idea that the chapter this morning would be on the Lord's prayer and how to pray!  How cool is that! :-)  


The book I'm reading is Mile 1 by Paul Carter

It reminded me of this skit
Lord's Prayer

And it challenged me to read 1 John 3:21-14

It seems to me that prayer is a way to lovingly communicate with God.

The Kingdom

I've seen the Hunger Games and Divergent and I see the challenge of how we live together with our own talents and gifts without killing and/or controlling each other in ways God never intended so today I'm starting a journey through the biographies of Christ to gain a deeper understanding of God's Kingdom.

"Our Father, who art in heaven"
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy Will be done on earth
As it is in heaven
Forgive us our debts as we forgive those who sin against us
And lead not into temptation but deliver us from evil
For Thine is the Kingdom and Power and Glory
Forever, Amen"

Our Father
