Jesus Creed

Here’s the singular principle of Paul that enables Christians to dwell together in unity is to live “to the Lord.” The alternative is to live to the flesh, or as Paul puts it in Rom 14:7-9, “to ourselves.” It is easy to reduce all problems to selfishness, and the reason it is easy is because…

We are grateful today that Bob Robinson has returned home. Thank you Lord. We rejoice with our friends who discovered this week that they are pregnant. Thank you Lord. Lord, hear our prayers. Please do chime in with requests and answers.

From the Celtic Book of Prayer: Christ, as a light illumine and guide me.

The rumors in the news media here in Chicago revolve around these four names: Joe Girardi, Lou Piniella, Bob Brenly, and Bruce Bochy. Steve Stone is not being mentioned except by the fans.

From Linda: Yep..he’s free! We got home around 7:30pm (the process started at 11!) He’s quite tired, but in much better shape than when he came home from Mercy! He still isn’t where they want him on his clotting times,so we’ll have many Dr visits (first thing tomorrow to start) until they get it stabilized.
