A Thanksgiving Poem

Andrew Peterson is a singer, novelist and purveyor of high quality Christian art who has had about as much influence on my life as anyone I don't know. I'm currently reading his first novel, On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness to my 7th grade class. The kids keep asking me if it's been made into a movie yet. Here is a link to a poem he wrote about this week's holiday. Happy Thanksgiving.

The Immanual Appraoch

Last weekend I went to Jackson, Tennessee to learn about the Immanuel Approach to prayer - a method people are using to recognize the presence of Jesus in their past as well as in the present. I wont get into specifics on this post, but I will say that one week in, I've found the Immanuel Approach to prayer and to life to be a very good antidote to the problem most Christians I know have had in accessing and recognizing Jesus' presence in day-to-day life. It's been a good week for me. Karl Lehman is the guy who's spreading the good news of this approach to prayer and inner healing. Here is a link to his website, where you can find all sorts of articles that explain this further.
