Hey guys!
.
Hope you are all well this week. I love the focus on prayer that we've been having at Whipple Creek with the "One Prayer" series. What an awesome thought: Churches everywhere, worldwide, joining together with one purpose, with one prayer. As you all know, prayer is communication with God. Worship is also communication with God...we are communicating our love FOR Him TO Him. So in a sense, much of worship is actually prayer.

When I was younger I used to draw quite a bit. Not long after I rededicated my life to Christ I drew a picture of Jesus. It was actually a pen and ink piece made up from tiny dots so His hair looked a bit like dreadlocks on accident, though I could definitely see Jesus having dreads. Anyway, Jesus was in heaven lying on His stomach with His legs sort of crossed it the air. He had a huge smile on His face. With one of His hands He was cupping His chin, and with that elbow on a cloud He propped up His body, like He was relaxing, lounging about in the heavenlies if you will. His other arm was reaching through space and in the palm of His hand was the earth, sort of levitated, like a softball, yet He wasn't touching it. He was actually spinning it.
.
When the body of Christ worldwide unites with one prayer, worshipping with voice, I imagine Jesus looking down and smiling as He spins the globe in His nail-scarred hand, hearing His followers adore Him as different time zones whirl by and catch His listening ear, in different languages, yet with one voice. Neat picture.

Love you guys. See you on Sunday morning.

Grace and peace,
