Happy Mother’s Day!
Maybe I’m cynical (yah think!), but it seems to me that Mother’s Day is the most guilt-ridden day of the year for mothers and for adult children.
Need a last minute gift idea for your mom?
Better than a new frying pan…
You probably wouldn’t believe me if I told you that I woke up to 4 inches of snow again yesterday. At least we weren’t snowed in this time.
A few links from this week…
Interesting post by Len about professional ministry
Great conversation on the topic of immodesty
Glenn shared Richard White’s dreams about community
Robbymac discusses the multi-faceted nature of the kingdom
Susan on “moving into the neighborhood”:
“Thought Experiment: what if more Christians moved in to the neighborhoods they currently are “writing checks” to, and when it came to “drive in” ministry they dressed up and drove out to the suburbs to mingle with wealthy unbelievers and share the Gospel with them?”
These two articles are on slow simmer in the crockpot of my brain:
- Why We Live in Community by Christine Sine (ht BrMaynard)
- The Journey Inward, Outward, and Forward about Gordon Cosby (ht Len)
Abmo started a meme this week about what a city taken for God might look like. I wanted to participate but didn’t get it done. However, I have a section of related books in my library that I would sell to the highest bidder.
- Taking Our Cities For God - John Dawson
- Primary Purpose - Ted Haggard
- Informed Intercession - George Otis
- Possessing the Gates - Cindy Jacobs
- Breaking Strongholds in Your City - Peter Wagner
- Commitment to Conquer - Bob Beckett
Let me know if you are interested. 
Speaking of books, I thought of Brother Maynard when I picked up a book by Eugene Peterson and a book by Henry Nouwen for 10 cents each this week.
A final Mother’s Day moment…

Happy Mother’s Day Grace.
The link to Journey Outward…is the Cutting Edge Magazine that was one of the first large “aha” moments I had in beginning the journey we are currently on. The Vineyard Central and Church of the Savior articles gave language to what was I was intuiting and was one of the first signs I had of coming back alive to understand why we existed.
I had to laugh at your book sale. I have shelves of similar books that I have decided to keep at part of my journey.
On another note, have you heard of the “Florida Revival”? What do you think of it? Maybe that’s a question you and Robby Mac would answer.
I know what I think but I would like to hear your thoughts. Thanks

Happy Mother’s Day!
I laughed at your book sale, too. I think I have most of those titles — or did until I did a major purge of my library before moving last summer.

I had Taking Our Cities for God and Blue Like Jazz on the same shelf and would walk into the room to find one or the other laying on the floor. They just could not co-exist on the same shelf so I seperated them. (JK)
Loved the Wal Mart shelf!!

Happy Mother’s Day to each of you.
We were able to go to dinner together, which is a rare treat. Coordinating everyone’s schedules for a meal together doesn’t happen very often lately.
I thought it was sweet that my girls gave me a James Blunt CD because they know I really like him.
Rose,
That was exactly how I felt when I read the article, language for what is in my heart.
My uncle recently sent me a link for God TV. I signed up to watch sometime, but haven’t got around to it yet. I haven’t paid much attention, but maybe I will write about it next week.
LOL Barb at the incompatible books!
