No fanfare here

Well, it is Friday and my mind is pretty much mush. I awoke at 2:30 this morning wide awake and could not go back to sleep until about 4:30. I was very, very tired but could not get back to sleep. Now at work I am trying to keep focused on the menial, but necessary, tasks and it is taking a little extra effort. :) I will not be in on Monday but I will post my review (so to speak) of Chapter 3 of The Cross Centered Life by CJ Mahaney on Tuesday. Man I love that book. I really want to get the Book Living the Cross Centered Life as well. I highly encourage those who happen upon my blog to check out the links "Together for the Gospel" as well as "Worship Matters". Very thought provoking (and sometime just plain fun) to read. Anyway, I pray that this finds each of you enjoying God's grace and mercy. May the presence of the Holy Spirit be ever felt and enjoyed by each of you and your homes. --- your brother in Christ Verse for today: Psalm 28, esv To you, O Lord, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary. [1] Do not drag me off with the wicked, with the workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts. Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their deeds; give to them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward. Because they do not regard the works of the Lord or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and build them up no more. Blessed be the Lord! for he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. The Lord is the strength of his people; [2] he is the saving refuge of his anointed. Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
