Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place

Almost 24 hours into our weeklong prayer vigil, and themes are beginning to develop. For those unfamiliar with long bouts of silence or at least some quiet time, an easy connection with God in this place leads to the revelation that God really is easy to talk to, and worth spending time with. For those this morning, words and phrases are key touchstones for their hours. Joy, vision and guidance have been those key words so far today. Where are we going? Only the wind of the spirit knows.

I decided we ought to have a common thread each day, a theme of prayer if you will. Acknowledging that if there is are any survivors still buried in rubble, they better be pulled out today, the prayer theme is for the final rescue attempt following the earthquake in Indonesia.

According to the 24/7 website, 16 prayer rooms in six countries are praying right now. We're part of something huge!

In other news, Carlo P and David S.W. will be completing the recording of their first CD today. The pre-production buzz going through the youth group music gliterati is quite positive.
