I am moved a lot of the time by music. The lyrics get to me and I begin to view things in different ways, and its such a peaceful feeling..but here are some lyrics that I thought you guys might find intresting, and I appologise now if this type of stuff was not what this blog was intended for... Lying here, in this pit that life's pushed me downI don't know, just how long I can take or when

More Sunday Night Let me add to what Kathy said. What an incredible experience! It's hard to put into words but to spend the entire evening praising God through song centered around the description of worship found in Rev. 4 &5 was unbelievable. We all created it together. No one told us how to worship or babbed on about the scripture or made a bunch of announcements or anything. It was

Sunday Night Worship As most of you know, Jeff Weiss leads a worship 'service' at his home on Sunday evenings from 8:00-9:00. Chad and I try to attend every week and have really enjoyed it. Every week is a little different, ranging from mostly singing and prayer to talking about what God is teaching us or a discussion on something one of us has on our hearts to impromptu, improvisasional music

Prayer Request Hey guys. Please keep all of us up here at Georgia State in your prayers. This is turning out to be a really strenuous week due to midterms, and I for one don't like all the pressure. There are a few of us here who are just struggling to hold on until Friday. So please please pray for us. Thanks y'all. -Leigh <><

Retreat!! At the Bible study tonight, there was some discussion about a retreat, during which we will talk about dating and relationships and the Song of Solomon. We're still looking at possible dates and places, so PLEASE let us know soon if you are interested and any dates that will definitely not work for you. Email Chad or me if you are interested.

I found a website, a blog, actually, that is interesting. The writer simply posts a saying from one of the Desert Fathers each day. It's called Word from the Desert. Today's word was a prayer from St. Isaac the Syrian from the seventh century: Immeasurable Grace Glory, O Lord, to Your immeasurable grace. Behold, O Lord, the waves of Your grace have made me silent; and no thought has been

Stupid Mistakes Just got back from crew. I had an interesting morning. The Chattahoochee's water level had risen considerably since yesterday (meaning we wouldn't be hitting sandbars or the bottom of the river). But with the increase in water level came the increase of the current. Anyone who says the Chattahoochee doesn't have a current -- I know you're out there -- should have been on the water

Go and Wash "Go and wash," He said. And the blind man did and was healed. But what of me? What would I have done? "I don't know the way?" "I can't see, how do I get there?" "Why should I go?" "What's in it for me?" "Who are you to tell me what to do?" "Go and wash," He says. I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. Wash not only your face but your sins also.

Crew For Today Since Kathy has encouraged us to blog about whatever is going on, including crew workouts, I will blog about today's crew practice. Travis (coach) didn't plan anything this morning because he thought it would be a torrential downpour. Well it wasn't, and so he let us go on the water. That was chaos, trying to get everyone assigned to a boat. There were a few people left over, so

Whoops...oh, Hi! The daily devotionals are on the main site...there was a miscommunication but everything is all better, now. THIS site is for YOU, Gordon students! Post your thoughts about the study, suggestions for Coffee House, prayer requests, prayer answers, hello and how-do-you-do to the world. Really! Just let me know and I'll send you an invitation to blog and directions (it's easy

Daily Devotional written by Dr. Gary Cox Christ is in our Midst! The Beatitudes are in many ways the magnificent introduction to the greatest sermon ever spoken, the Sermon on the Mount. They set the tenor for three entire chapters of St. Matthew’s Gospel (Matt. 5-7). Using His exhortations to “blessedness” as a starting point, Our Lord then goes on to summon his followers to the Christian

Daily Devotional Christ be with you! One day Abba Macarius was on his way back from his cell from the marsh, carrying palm leaves. And look! There was the devil in the road, carrying a sickle and trying to attack him. But he couldn’t and said: I am suffering a great deal of violence from you, O Macarius. I do everything you do for sure. When you fast, I do not eat and when you keep vigil,

Daily Devotional Written by Dr. Gary Cox Christ is in our Midst! When I read and meditate on the Beatitudes, one of the first things that strikes me is just how “radical” a religion real Christianity is. I seem to have a difficult enough time with all the “thou shalt not’s,” all the things that I’m not supposed to do: the anger, greed, lust that I am to avoid. Yet as Our Lord makes

Daily Devotional-08/23/2004 To all, I’d like to take a moment and wish everyone a happy academic new year. We’ve completed a week here at Gordon and I think everyone is beginning to settle in. Over the course of this next semester GCF will be looking at the interactions that Jesus had with a number of individuals around Him as a way of looking at what kind of Savior we serve. One of the

As we are off for the summer, this site will be even more quiet than it was before! At least until fall. If anyone has any ideas for getting the word out about the blog site, let me know! I'd love to see it being used more!

Some Holy Inspiration For all those facing persecutions, trials, and stress, these verses are for you: "To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was give me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made

Have you ever felt that God has given you so many blessings that you can't even count them? I am feeling that way today. Unfortunately, I did not even recognize many of these things as blessings until they were nothing more than memories. I see now that occasionally God will bring someone into your life to change you in innumerable ways just when you least expect it. That is one of the many

Better Is One Day "How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. ... Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. ... Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of

Andrew Peterson - Great Lyricist! I thought I'd post the lyrics to a song I'm listening to on my iPod, here at work. (Yes, I should be working, but everyone needs a break now and then!) This is such a victorious song! All it needs is a whistle at the beginning. High Noon High noon in the valley of the shadow, When the deep of the valley was bright; When the mouth of the tomb shouted,

Nice The site looks good! I can't wait until GCF gets back into full swing for the semester! Hope everyone has had a great summer!! -Leigh <><

I'm still working on the layout, but it's ready and open for business!

I thought we'd get this blog rolling during the summer to work out any kinks. I'll be setting up a couple of blogs to go along with this one; an admin site, an announcement site, and a 'rules of the road' site. Those will be edited only by a few people. However, THIS blog is open to all GCF participants. If you'd like to be part of it, email me at ksdavies [at] yahoo.com and I'll sign you up!
