I've posted to Jeremiah every day. You should check it out and comment. seriously. if you read this blog, it would be great for you to drop a quick thought there. having an online resource to share a community Bible study with the whole world is a dazzling thought...
...and do you all know that Lew(I) is (am) in the Sidewinder for about 2 hours a day from about 830 till about 11? It's a time of study and being present to my neighbors. That's where I post the studies and blog entries... that's where I talk about Jesus and life with neighbors...
...so that's a good place and time to look for me...
Recent times with saints from abroad are cronicled in my blog (lewminator). Are any of you blogging? Let me know...

Season of changes
We've had some changes this season, besides the weather. Our main community meeting has moved to Sunday mornings, over breakfast. With 2 babies on the way, and a one-year-old among us, evening meetings were becoming a thing of the past... On top of that, there're the 14-yr. old, 13-yr., 9-yr. and 5yr. olds... Wow! We've gone from a gritty troupe of misfit christians to being a mob of young married with children misfit christians...
Think of the babies! WHat fun we'll have with these little dudes crawling around as we pray and sing. First of the two newbies is due in November... the next in March...
Would you please join us in prayer? As usual, all this is happening in the midst of an intense level of spiritual warfare and gritty daily life, with actual, real daily problems and frictions... we need the grace of God to really flow, here...
Some of us need job changes.
The Chase house needs a sink plumbed in on the first floor...
There's a sense of dryness in regard to the things of the Spirit...
By the way, there was a notable physical healing among us last week!
And won't some of you readers out there come and visit? There are some folks we'd love to share a table with, outt there...
peace...

Psalm 119: "Gimel"
Verses 17-24 make up the third part of this acrostic psalm.
hey all, just take a look at the LANGUAGE of this psalmist!
unashamed in asking for blessing (17)
admitting blindness and craving the wonders of God's Law (18)
divorced from the world (19)
broken-souled (20)
Then check out his words on the proud--Cursed.
v.22-24
holding to integrity, having kept God's word, in the face of rulers and princes false judgments. Meditating on the word, delighting in God's counsel...
Throw down some observations, all...

Yahoo! Poll
Hey all, click the link for the yahoo! group and take the new poll! Thanks to Sarah True for creating it.
Monday Check-In
Yesterday was Sunday,and what a joy it was to listen to the recordings of teaching and sharing in our meetings. I listened to them as I went to sleep.
Everybody, you can get copies of this stuff from me. I keep them on a flash drive, and you can get that and have the meetings' stuff for yourself...
Missing a meeting can be a drag. Its nice to be able to catch the worship and teaching.
It is my intent to edit out a lot of the stuff and leave the major prophecies and teaching and musical worship in a file, so you don't have a lot of "throw away" stuff... makes for a smaller file, too.
But I haven't got a good system worked out for that, so for now, we're sticking to the raw file size we have.
The guiding principle of our meetings is 1 Cor. 14:26.
"What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church."
These are recordings of meetings where everything done is for the strengthening of the Church. That's the purpose. jesus as leader, we are His people, and he is speaking through the body, and receiving our worship.
The love is almost tangible in the laughter and joy of our meetings.
that's something I noticed: laughter and joking and joy all around, without losing the gravity of the Truth engaging us...
I look up and look forward to the Lord breaking forth among us in more and more incredible ways, only let us love one another deeply b/c love is really the whole thing. I am sure that seasons of worship, and powerful miracles lie ahead of us. In order to steward that kind of power, let's LOVE deeply, adn without hypocrisy.
also, love one another.
and... love.
most important of all: He loves us.
