I send an email inviting Sojourners to blog as authors; you should be able to read or view the blog by going to http://sojournerscommunity.blogspot.com I believe you must respond or set up your own account on the site to be able to write (author) your own posts, but you can comment without an acct. Some of you have reported problems logging in...let me know if this continues...Meg

Retreat date...




Hey there Sojourners...how about taking the poll on the side bar so we can talk retreat???
It's Feb. 20th and they are predicting more SNOW for tomorrow. I don't know about YOU, but I am SO DONE with snow...yipes...(my friend Anne recently returned from living in Alaska for 25 years, is laughing at me...). Really though, I am so done with winter...in my soul too...I am ready for God to do a new thing. Are you up for it? Sometimes I look back, hankering for the 'good old days' which if we are honest, weren't always so good...instead of looking ahead to what God is doing NOW. We are in a new place in history...things are changing all around us politically, internationally, spiritually. The Church is both more apostate and more faithful than ever. The Enemy is at work so powerfully wherever his lies are allowed to remain unchallenged. Yet the power of the Holy Spirit is at work all over the globe...healing, teaching, challenging, convicting of sin and of Righteousness. Justice is flowing down like a river in places in Asia where the International Justice Mission (and others) labor to set free young women who are caught in sex slavery, or families virtually enslaved in work camps by unscrupulous factory owners. Hundreds of people are coming to know or to seek Christ at my church alone, to say nothing of all the other wonderful places drawing unchurched people to the Lord. Praise the Lord !



What is God doing that is NEW with you?
