| I am joining the growing crowd of people who are leaving xanga and myspace for other blog sites. I may still post here from time to time, but the bulk of my posting will be here:
http://jenniferherrick.wordpress.com/
One great thing about it is that it will allow those that don't have xanga or myspace accounts to leave comments. (I'm looking at you, April!!!!)
Check it out!
UPDATE: I have added a subscribe by email feature to my wordpress blog for those who would like to receive posts via email or RSS feed | | |
| Spreadsheet humor!  Maybe it's only funny to those who have an odd and obsessive-like hobby of making spreadsheets for any and every purpose you can think of? | | |
| Changes are coming, and maybe it's just the really nice weather today, but I'm finding myself kind of excited about it! This is a really weird feeling... | | |
| words (or lack thereof)... thoughts on worshipYesterday I started coming down with a cold. It seems like I've been getting one a month since October or maybe November. This month's cold settled directly in my throat, which means I can't sing. Not a note. It hurts to even try.
So it was strange being in church this morning, unable to sing. I found that I had a really hard time entering in to worship because I couldn't sing. That really surprised me, because I know that worship is about more than just singing a song. I've heard tons of teaching on worship and read tons of books on the subject, and they all agree that worship is not about singing. So why, then, was it hard for me to worship without singing? Singing, after all, is just words and notes.
Words exsist for the purpose of communication. Words enable us to take thoughts, ideas and emotions and convey them to each other. Without words, we wouldn't be able to communicate with each other, because, last time I checked, no one I know can read my mind or know my thoughts or emotions unless I use words to communicate them.
But there is a level of communicating with God that transcends words. And example of this would be praying in the Spirit. When we pray in the Spirit, our spirits engage directly with God. And I think that even when we are not praying in the Spirit, we can engage God without our spirits. I think that's part of what Jesus meant when he talked about worshiping in spirit and truth in John 4. Worshiping in truth involves words. It involves our minds and our intellects. Worshiping in spirit, though, is connecting to God through your spirit. It's allowing the Holy Spirit to minister to your heart on a level that you may not always understand or be able to explain. | | |
