Cool Thought, I Want Jesus!

1844 hours, Holy Spirit just gave me a cool thought! PX! Jeff wrote an amazing Prayer titled, "I Want Jesus!" I have read this many times and Prayed through it many times, and it ROCKS MaWorld every Praise God time!!! The most recent Praying and reading through it was yesterdeeee, so I am thinking, Jeff, you have got to use this and turn it into a "Manifesto" like "Lion Chaser Manifesto" or perhaps some sort of "Core Value" for when you start a Church!!!

Here is a link to the original post of this Holy Ghost Inspired Prayer! Enjoy!!!

I want Jesus!



1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Journal:

Great day of Prayer, Study, Work, Track, Family Hang out time! Ran track today in "lunatic" style with my Twin...the dude flat out makes me better! Praise God!

Praise the Father...Pan Asia...Prince Caspian!

Man, whata-greatday today! Praise God! We had church. Nashville team was commissioned and prayed for by the congregation. I hung out with Whit and KG before church. Had lunch with the crew at Pan Asia! Went to see Prince Caspian with the Whitner while the fam played with KG!

Prince Caspian is great! Of course it had a lot of good "preaching" scenes with Aslan! One I love is when Lucy is desperately seeking Aslan, the Christ figure, in the woods to help save Narnia. He basically told Lucy, when no one believed that she saw him earlier, not to stop seeking him just because no one else believes!

After Caspian, Whit and I hung out with the fam! I made a bannana smootie, ate beans and corn, came home and prayed with Scripture meditation.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Journal:


Thankful for: Worshiping God and time with the family!

Joyful for: Money to eat and watch movies...a family who loves our their granddaughter and niece!

Prayerful for: "Into the Father's hand" family prayers! Scripture and God's protection for Bryan's travels!
