Web Meditations

Today, I've come across some great opportunity for spiritual challenge and meditation right here in cyberspace.

Alt. Worship church, Grace, has their 4th annual lent blog with some great posts to chew on and inform our lent meditations. Joel's post in particular had an impact on my own heart. Give the last slide a good 10 seconds to ponder. Then see what happens. (It's subtle, but profound.)

Also, after being at Solomon’s Porch the last two Sundays, I was really touched by the worship songs written by the music guys in the church. Fortunately, they’ve posted a lot of their music (lyrics and mp3 files) on the Porch website. As I listened to the song “Made,” I was touched by these lines toward the end:

But the steps I take that are nearer to the truth,
Are the steps leading away from me.
'Cause it's not about me,
Not about me, not about my image
Of pedestals made of clay,
It's when we realize that it's all about You,
That's when we,
That's when we are
Made

In other news . . . (The following is intended to be read facetiously.)
Scientists are finally going to give us their official decision on whether or not prayer is a waste of time. We wait in eager anticipation. Because it was so darn helpful when the scientists gave us their official findings that there is no such thing as God or other such supernatural powers and phenomenon. Why pray when you can play God?
