Delinquent

Yes...I've been delinquent in keeping the blog updated this summer, but I'm glad to report the kids have started back to school, the Lord blessed my hubby with a job, and I should have a bit more quiet time to get things like this done.

Check back. I'll be posting stuff from this summer. For now [click here] if you would like to read an article I wrote for Reflections, a Christian women's magazine.

For now, I'm preparing for General Conference in St. Louis the end of September, a community prayer gathering in Troy, October 3, "Praying for the Heart of Troy," and then to speak at the National Day of Prayer Conference in Colorado Springs October 15-17.

Speaking at the Annual NDP Summit

The two times I’ve attended the National Day of Prayer Summit have ranked among the spiritual highlights of the last few years. Gathering with Christians of all denominations from across the country is an event in itself, but when those people are committed to prayer and seeing God’s will accomplished in our communities and nation, it ignites a synergistic explosion of hope and enthusiasm that carries beyond the borders of the event and inspires its participants in the months that follow.

Every aspect of the Summit is bathed in prayer. The organizers obviously attend to every detail with meticulous care. Attendees begin the event as honored guests of the monthly Focus on the Family chapel service. From there, we participate in joint sessions with special guest speakers and break-out workshops where we select the topics that particularly appeal to our areas of interest or concern.

The fellowship alone, sharing meals and worship and hearing Mrs. Dobson are reason enough to go, but the icing on the cake, the communion and commissioning service on Sunday morning, creates an indelible spiritual mark on all those who participate.

The summit is absolutely worth every penny and every bit of effort you spend to get there. This year Jon Egan of the Desperation Band will be leading worship and Tony Perkins and Will Graham join Mrs. Dobson as featured speakers.

I'm excited about the workshop I'll be presenting, "You Have a Field to Defend." Those able to join us will leave encouraged and equipped, entertained and educated, ready to face their tomorrows with a fresh anointing and empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Register today [click here], while you’re thinking about it, and I’ll see you there!
