Quick Thoughts!
As I prepare for bed...
Being a recollection of inspirations that waltzed through my mind during this morning's worship gathering at blc.
Joanna - the steadiest percussionist I know personally. I've told her so enough times to embarrass her, I think ;).
It is inspiring to see people worship wholeheartedly.
It is inspiring to see cutesy-wutesy babies in the worship gathering.
It is inspiring to hear the strains of the violin.
It is inspiring to see people worship.
When you know their stories. When you know the pain they feel and the trouble they face.
And when you see them worship anyway - it is inspiring.
It is inspiring to see people behind the scenes, keeping things up front running well.

A golden oldie I'm thinking of singing this Sunday at blc:

Devotions and readings suggested for daily meditation and prayer
Lectionary readings provide a disciplined way to read through the Bible. These readings are available for both lectionary cycles, the Sunday and festival readings and the Daily Lectionary.
Read them online, subscribe to our email list, print a reading list or listen to "Hear the Word," the lectionary podcast.
Learn more about lectionary readings.
I just received an email from the Presbyterian Church (USA) from a list I subscribed to more than a week ago. I don't know why the delay (maybe they process subscriptions by hand), but I'm glad it's here.
It's the daily lectionary reading via email. I've already blogged about the Bible-in-two-years programme I'm following (http://alphalim.me/hijacking-a-bad-habit-to-promote-a-good-one-d ). This should be another exciting option.
The lectionary is a three-year cycle of readings that covers the whole Bible (and optionally, the Apocrypha). It's based on early Jewish reading patterns and has been developed throughout the history of the church. You might find it helpful.
I'll be trying both email subscriptions for awhile and see which I'll drop (or I might go whole hog and keep following both). The lectionary reading has the benefit of being in sync with the church year, though. So - well, we'll see what happens.
Let me know if you give it a go!

No clown suit, no loud music, no jumping around. Just children enraptured with the message.
And almost all the adults ;).

How'd I feel about today's First Worship Gathering of blc at the Luther Centre?
1.1. But as long as the homies are there, it's home.
2.1. At the coffee before the worship service, it sure felt like there were more visitors than members!
2.1.1. I think that might have to do with the fact that the regulars showed up later than the visitors ;).
3.1. I think chatting and borak-borak is an integral part of worship.3.2. As is coffee.
4.1. I realise that I need to take a lot more photos. After eliminating the rejects, I'm only left with 13!

I love the ampleness of the seats at Luther Centre chapel. I think we
should pull off the plastic wrap from the armrests, tho!

Another fun evening. Trivia: Our last gathering at The Father's House for now...
Check out the captions on my Facebook album page: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=124549&id=600721057&l=3590473ccc
(There are 33 photos there, but only 3 got uploaded here. I don't know if it's Gmail or Posterous' fault, but you can see 'em all on Facebook.)
