so i'll read the chapel devo from june 8th
"He can fill us and satisfy us like nothing else. He alone brings abundant blessings that we never even thought to pray for. Take a minute to think about all that Christ has brought into your life - not material blessings, but blessings of Him. It’s overwhelming for me to ponder. Words like love, peace, joy, good, faithful, grace, mercy, teacher, Savior, friend, shepherd, Father, and life cross my mind. I could go on and on, but instead I’ll leave you with this: throughout scripture the Lord calls Himself “I AM.” Dear friend, HE truly IS!!!
"Prayer: Lord, for those reading this, for my family, friends, and myself, I pray for nothing more than an abundance of You. Flood our lives with Your sweet presence."

we could've done baseball chapel devos when i was there -- we'll have to when you come visit me :)
that's a very happy thought (the devo - although mel and chel doing devos together would be a happy thought, too)
i was thinking of the song 'that's why we praise HIM' today, and remembering that it bothers me.
'...that's why we bow down and worship this KING, because HE gave HIS everything.' really? that's why we praise HIM? that is part of what HE has done, and i am very thankful for it, but shouldn't we be bowing down and worshipping HIM because of WHO HE is? HIS greatness demands praise from us. i have trouble saying i worship HIM for something HE has done for me. i worship HIM because that is the only response a wretch like me can have to all that HE is.
good point -- we (people, of course, not us specifically:) worshiped Him before Jesus died for us too... maybe it should say "that's one reason we praise Him" or something like that :)
i like how the devo said "it's overwhelming for me to ponder" -- I often think that, but it's a good feeling :)
:)
