40 Days for Life

Friday I went out to Pray at the Garden of Hope across from “Reproductive Services” at 32nd pl near Sheridan in Tulsa. I was amazed at how many cars arrived or left during the 45 minutes I was there. I spent time praying for the women who feel like they have no choice but to [...]

Early in the Morning My Song Shall Rise

By tputnam On September 23, 2011 · Add Comment
I realize for most normal people, 6:15 isn’t early. But for me, at least for the last few months, 6:15 is quite early. I set my alarm for 6:45, and truth be told, I didn’t get out of bed until the radio went off. But at 6:15, for no reason whatsoever, I woke up.

On The Road Again

For three years I had the joyful obligation of writing a “meaningful” article every week. For the last four months I haven’t written a single word. The law of inertia has taken hold of me, and I find my fingers reluctant to type the few words that my mind has formed.

For almost three years, you and I have lived the Faith life together. We have worshiped, served in mission, studied scripture, and lived life together.
