The Baptism of the Lord

My Companions pray with me: Lord,You have placed Your Spirit in us. May we bring that Spirit of life and love to everyone we meet. We seek Your awesome mercy for choices we make that take us from your awesome love. Thank you for all Your gifts; with appreciation we return them to glorify Your name. And please provide all we need: health for the sick and freedom for all things that make us slaves. Bless all who have brought us to You. For those who have gone before us, be merciful and bring them home to You.

Companion Events: Bithdays: Jack Lawrence Parise (1/7), Cullen Stevens (1/11). In memoriam: Joseph Himpleman (1/7/1960).

Keeping In-touch: The feeling of cold sticks in our memory of last week. But, more so, the memory

of our offspring laughing and enjoying one another...and the Colorado Mountain Slopes. We now have winter and some cold days ahead of us. All the end of season football brings sedentary excitement. And I'm ready to begin reading student papers again. Happy New Year to all my Companions-in-Prayer from our family:

My comments and an invitation for your comments: 
Seek the Lord while He may be found. Know His awesome love for you; spend your life to bring Him glory. We need not bring money or other sacrifice. The Lord desires our lives in all our brokenness and in all our wholeness. Let us hear Him say, "This is my beloved son/daughter, in whom I am well pleased."
