I so enjoyed the beginning of the new series. I had an idea related to something you said in your message. You mentioned the snow globes and Christians being in a bubble keeping the world out. It came to me sitting in church that a "Bursting the Bubble" ceremony would be a great way to committ to being truly Chirst like (little Christians)…..A symbolic way to say that Lord we go out into the community and let you burst our bubble and spread Your word! Just a thought (don't know if that was the Holy Spirit speaking just to me or if it is something for all of us?!) Thanks for everything

Our family decided to put the fruit of the Spirit on display (Galatians 5:22). So each week, we concentrate on one. This week we randomly picked Peace. We discussed how we would incorporate Peace into our prayer, fasting, witnessing, etc. during the week. Our first night within moments of making this discision and discussing it, we were all angry w/one another for one reason or another. We quickly realized Satan was having fun. At dinner the 2nd day of Peace being on display we discussed when we had an opportunity to display and how well we did and what we'd do differenlty.

So my wife and I were discussing fasting options with our boys, and we decided as a family to fast all TV/video games/computer for 1 whole day a week. The problem came when we tried to pick which day! Can't do Sundays – that's football. I can't do Thursdays – that's Community and Leno. Kerri doesn't want to do Mondays – that's CSI. Can't do Fridays, or Wednesdays, and Saturdays are hard – so maybe Tuesday? And that's when we realized that we were trying to make it too convenient for ourselves. There's no sacrifice in convenience! There's no pain or suffering, or having to go without. We did pick a day, and it hurts.
