Pray

The world that we live in is busy. The lives that we all live are chaotic, messy, hectic and complicated beyond the reach of any adjective. To all my friends who read this (all 4 of you) I hope you are doing well. I hope that you have started 2007 off how you had resolved to - if you're like me than you did not. It's amazing how fast days go by before we know it and we are left saying, "Hey! Wait a second, I was just about to..." Thankfully the Lord's mercies are new not every year or every decade but every morning - we need them oh so often.
As you start off this year, please remember Dr. D. James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Presbyterian in your prayers. While many of us are kicking off what is hopefully another year among many, he may be on one of his last. He suffered a heart attack a little over a week ago and is still hospitalized but is supposedly improving - this is another episode in a slew of health problems he has suffered recently. Whether you know the man or not, whether you agree with him politically or theologically or not really matters very little. Before we think too highly of ourselves and think about how we may be different, let us applaud one of this century's valiant saints. Disagree idealogically or not, there is little doubt that Dr. Kennedy served the Lord with all his might as best as he knew how. Let us pray that God's will be done and that his mercy be evermore shown to Dr. Kennedy and his family in this time of need.
