I’m still catching up on notifying you all about articles I published over on Ministry-to-Children.com. The article titled What Can a 2-Year Old Teach You About Prayer? was published on June 13, 2010.
Brief Synopsis: In this post I share what my two year old Nathan taught me about prayer. It’s amazing what a toddler can teach you!
Every once in a while, I like to step back and let the readers of this blog into my mind. I know it can be a very scary place, but I’ll do my best to keep the lights on and keep this trip shorter than usual! Relax, this is not another retrospective on this blog or a grand announcement of where we’re heading, but I did take some time during my Dark Week to reflect on blogging – what I do – and why I do it.
I have always said, and still do, that I blog principally as a means of processing my own thoughts and recording my own walk with Jesus. I find that writing things out helps me to process them in a way that nothing else does. However, something strange happened along the way, a God thing if you will, people started to read what I was writing and give feedback on the site. You can imagine my surprise! Suddenly, I felt God calling me (tugging me really) in a whole new direction to share my thoughts and experiences through blogging and allow him to use it to edify others. I try not to say “No” to God as much as possible, so I went ahead writing and trusted Him to use it however he wished.
Through blogging though, and other online endeavors, I’ve met a slew of wonderful people who work in kidmin. Not the least of those was Tony Kummer from Ministry-to-Children.com. Ministry-to-Children.com quickly became one of my favorite sites, and I was flabbergasted when Tony asked me to start writing for his site several months back. Given that Tony’s site would allow me to reach more people with the thoughts and ideas that God was laying on my heart, I quickly accepted and have published a number of articles on that site over the last several months.
About a month or so ago, I started to accept ads on this site to recover some of the cost of hosting, software, etc. My hope has been, and continues to be, to find sponsors which the users of this site will find valuable. I think I have been able to accomplish this, and I like our sponsors so much that I have decided to feature them from time to time on this site beginning with today.
We begin Spotlight on our Sponsors with Christianity Cove. Rather than wax eloquently on my own (right!), I decided to ask Mary-Kate Warner some questions about the site to give us a better idea what they are all about. Here is the transcript of that interview:
Introduction
The prophecies of the Old Testament indicate that the Messiah would be called Lord. While this may seem like a given to us today, the Old Testament leaves no doubt about the title of the coming Messiah.
Old Testament Prophecy
The LORD says to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.” [Psalm 110:1 NIV]

So last week this time, I was in the final day of my seven day Go Dark week in which I turned off all electronics for the week other than some predefined exceptions (at work, etc.). This is the second summer that I did “Go Dark” week and the experience, though similar in many respects, also was markedly different. I suppose first though I should start by confessing my shortcomings.
There, I feel better now having admitted that. So, what did I do with my Dark Week? I read! I read a lot. Just for fun, here are the books I read: Continue Reading…
