Exercising My Prayer Muscles
Doggone it! I forgot the headphones when I went to the gym this morning. Well, I usually don’t take headphones, but I meant to give it a try. It’s just as well. My intention is to pray while I exercise, but my a.d.d. (or is it my age?) usually keeps me from completing my goal. [...]

Today at the East campus we heard Greg’s sermon on confession. Good question, Greg: How long has it been since I confessed my sin? I’m not telling in this forum, but it’s something to think about. Do we as a church expect God to answer our prayers for our church, if we as individuals don’t [...]
