It’s a little after midnight now and Christmas is officialy over. What a great day! I know our family had a relaxing day filled with fun and friends. I hope your day was as good ours. We got some great pictures today I’ll put some up in the next few days, in the the mean time here is one from my phone.

From: Jane Gilles Date: Friday 10 Oct 2008 11.03am To: David Thorne Subject: Re: Whose spider is that? Dear David, From: David Thorne Thankyou for contacting me. I am currently away on leave, traveling through time and will be returning last week. Regards, David. From: David Thorne Hello, I am back and have read through your emails and accept that despite missing a leg, that drawing of a spider may indeed be the one I sent you. I realise with hindsight that it is possible you rejected the drawing of a spider due to this obvious limb ommission but did not point it out in an effort to avoid hurting my feelings. As such, I am sending you a revised drawing with the correct number of legs as full payment for any amount outstanding. I trust this will bring the matter to a conclusion. Regards, David.

Dear David, From: David Thorne I understand and will definately make a payment this week if I remember. As you have not accepted my second drawing as payment, please return the drawing to me as soon as possible. It was silly of me to assume I could provide you with something of completely no value whatsoever, waste your time and then attach such a large amount to it. Regards, David. |

I just listened to an awesome teaching on prayer this morning by Craig Groeschel. One of the best explanations of how and why we should pray I’ve heard maybe ever! If you have a spare half an hour go here and watch this message. The stand out Principal I got was this:
When you have a issue in life you can PUSH thru it.
Pray
Untill
Something
Happens
The bible says we should pray all the time, always in constant communication with God. The part I struggle with is waiting for the answer. I can do the Pray part, it’s the until something happens part that gets me. For me I found that a ton of short prayers all day long works better than long prayers. There are people who are into hour long prayer sessions and even longer, I think that’s awesome. However, my ADD kicks in somewhere during minuet 3 and by 5 minuets in I’m spent. When I pray through my issues keeping them for-front in my communication with God all day long the PUSH Principal is at work. Then, I find that I don’t feel like I’m not being heard by God as he is top of mind all day and not just during a prayer session. Answers come in the right timing and I see how God works in my daily life.
Prayer is such a big subject, and there are so many kinds of prayer I don’t think there is just one right way to pray. But no matter how you choose to pray commit to it. It’s valueable. It will make a difference in your life.

We have started a new teaching series at Third Place Youth called “Move Along.” The inspiration for this came from the All American Rejects song. One of the main lines in the chorus is: when everything goes wrong, we move along. But the million dollar question is how? Life is full of hurts, pain, and bad situations. Is it possible to just “Move Along”?
We opened this series with this video, it’s a true story from my wife.
Over the next few weeks we will be looking at how to “Move Along” in 3 main areas. First, how to deal with rumors. Second, how to handle mistakes, mess ups, and other bad choices. Third, how to handle bad relationships.
I’m not going to post the mp3’s of these teachings but if your interested in them please comment me and I’ll be happy to send them to you.
So is it possible to “Move Along”? I believe it is my friends!

I have had the opportunity to do a lot of speaking this year and this past week has been no exception. I was at a local school this past Wednesday and “it” happened again. “It” has happened to me a lot lately, two weeks ago I speaking to our church and they did “it” too. Every time I start to pray people fold their hands and bow their head. I think it must be some from of religious tourette’s! I can’t find any where in the bible that says when someone prays the proper protocol is to bow your head and fold your hands together. Yet people do it as some kind of involuntary nervous reaction. I wonder what God must think when he sees us doing these seemingly religious acts that he never ask us to do? We must look like we have religious tourette’s. Clucking our prayers with our heads bowed and all the other religious acts church people pride themselves on. How entertained God must be… but is he happy with it? Have we gotten to a place where we are so comfortable with what we do that what we are isn’t as important? I hope and pray that the head bows and folded hands aren’t just a way to seem involved in prayer. The bible says to pray without ceasing, that might just mean you’ll have to pray with your eyes open! Don’t use someones prayer as a quick mental time out. Don’t disconnect from what’s happening or about to happen. Instead when someone prayes connect with them in agreement however you can. And by all mean stop tring to bite your spirtual ear with all religious stuff you do. God doesn’t care what you wear, how long your hair is, or even if you have a tattoo. Just Love God and others and the rest will work itself out.

I like Fridays a lot. Its technically my day off but I love what I do so much that it usely turns into more of a just slow down and don’t do as much day. But today was a unique day. Even though I did a little work on my talk for this weekend (found out today my pastor will not be in town this weekend so I’ll be speaking in all 3 services at our church) I’ve done nothing but enjoyed the day. I went on a winter run and froze my hands. I thought I did some damage however my personal MD also know as my wife sprung into action and fixed me up. Then this evening we did some pumpkin carving with the boys. It’s been a great day and very relaxing. I’m looking forward to this weekend and our services, but for now I’m just going to enjoy the rest of this great Friday.
