I hope your Holy Week was meaningful, and that you had a chance to celebrate the Resurrection somehow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, we’re all hunkered down and trying to stay connected to family and friends. Remember telephone conversations? They still work, along with FaceTime, Zoom, and Skype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope you\u2019re also finding time to connect with God. If you were used to a weekly <\/em>connection at church, I hope you\u2019ll change that to a daily <\/em>connection at home, at least for now, until the time comes when we can do both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I got a note from a friend who used to practice daily time with God faithfully but had gotten into the habit of relying on two weekly 6AM Bible studies. He’s a regular reader of this blog, so he can identify himself if he chooses! If not, I still appreciate what he sent me: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Good morning,<\/em> Okay, I have a copy of Jesus Calling<\/a><\/strong> let me use it.\u00a0 The second line, “Nothing is as important as spending time with Me.”\u00a0 Hello, Jesus was calling and I finally picked up.

We should all be using some of this extra time to get more time with Jesus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nothing is as important as spending time with Me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors. For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LORD.

I feel a need to share: this morning I am delaying\u00a0yard work awaiting\u00a0the daily warm-up.\u00a0 It occurred to me that I really am missing my Tuesday and Thursday crack-of-dawn bible studies.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
