Eugene Peterson, the beloved Christian author known for his Bible translation, “The Message,”

 has passed away. He was a pastor but above all poet and writer.

"Being a writer and being a pastor are virtually the same thing for me:  an entrance into chaos."

-Eugene Peterson

"Prayer and poetry are the closest of kin. In poetry we say it; in prayer we become what we say…"

-Eugene Peterson

 

 "Worship... is not something a person experiences, it is something we do, 

regardless of how we feel about it."

-Eugene Peterson

..."Mountains
You're breaking down the weight of all my mountains
Even when it feels like I'm surrounded
You never leave my side

Nobody loves me like you love me Jesus
I stand in awe of your amazing ways
I worship you as long as I am breathing
God you are faithful and true
Nobody loves me like you..."

-Chris Tomlin

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. 

Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

-Philippians 4:6-7

Have a blessed week!

 “I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. 

Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. 

Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous!^"

^{-John 14:27}

God's word is food for our souls! 

Memorize it. Confess it. 

Let the words of the Bible enter into your mind and descend into your heart... 

And let God's word transform your whole being! 

Have a blessed day!

The Bible says: 

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart  and love your neighbor as yourself."

These are very important values to live to...to choose everyday to love God with all our hearts and then love first and the best possible way our family. 

Choose to love your family as your highest human priority. 

We love because he first loved us.

-1 John 4:19

"Thank you God for all your blessings to me and my family. 

For the strength you give me each day and for all the people around me who make life more meaningful."

Amen.

Have a blessed October!
