Well, I'm back in Tucson and it took me about 15 minutes to find my own blog! Just about used up the last of my sand for the day. I'm not sure what that says about me except: "I was lost, and now I'm found".
It was a very long day - with a 5 hour layover in Denver on my way home. Sooooo good to see my lover, my hound dog and Ben! Looking forward to seeing my Hanna, Jackson and Mari Grace tomorrow.
Our Grace and Righteousness Ministries Tuesday night Bible Study & Prayer group met tonight at our house. We are discussing "New Covenant Prayer: Everything Has Changed" and we are loving it. Realizing that Jesus didn't come to get God to do something for me, rather: "I've come that you might know God" was a great discussion point. Most of us were in agreement that our concept of prayer was "codependent on God" -- trying to get God to do for us what He had said I could already do because I am in Jesus!
It's really crazy when we begin to see that most prayer is us --trying to get God to tell us --He really did mean all that He said when Jesus died for me, and rose again. Things like: "Will you heal me?" when God had already said: "by His stripes we were healed" [I didn't believe you God, will you make an exception for me--what Christ did doesn't seem to be enough for me...please heal me as a separate act.]
I love this statement: "We [Grace & Righteousness Ministries] exist to make people whole through the love of God."
Well I think that's it for me today, and a BIG thank you to my dear sister Tracy for encouraging me to write, every day, something!

WooHoo!! Good for you for toughing it out to find your blog. It should have been a matter of clicking on the link in your email, though. It will get easier with practice, I'm sure.
