Written Prayers

Thanks to Tim Challies blog post today, I was introduced to Scotty Smith's blog Heavenward, hosted by The Gospel Coalition.  Scotty's entire blog is devoted to written prayers.

Sometimes I just don't know what to say to God.  I know that there are things I must express to Him, and yet I struggle to do so.  I, like Tim Challies, write out my prayers as often as I can.  This helps me to stay focused, to slow down my mind enough so as to concentrate on the words.  It also means I can look back over my prayers on occasion, and reflect on what God may or may not be doing.

I look forward to exploring Scotty's blog further.

Where and Why We Buy Our Books | Challies Dot Com

Where and Why We Buy Our Books | Challies Dot Com

Tim Challies shares and discusses the results of a survey that netted 2,222 responses about book purchases.  Fascinating results, well presented with plenty of geeky Pie Charts and Bar Graphs.  Delightfully geeky, I might add.  Some of the results were surprising.  Definitely worth a couple of minutes to look over.
