Praying Biblically

I just found an article by David Powlison, a well-known Biblical Counselor.  The article deals with introducing Biblical Counseling in the local church.  He says he comes at it by adjusting how we take prayer requests in the church.  Though this article is about Counseling, I felt that the comments made about Biblical prayer were worth reading and sharing. Here is a snippet of that blog post: ... the Bible’s prayers are rarely about health, travel mercies, finances, doing well on a test, finding a job, or the salvation of unsaved relatives. Of course, these are legitimate things to pray for, but they are a minor emphasis in Scripture. Even so, these topics typically dominate most church and small group prayer requests.

Free Music from Page CXVI

Page CXVI Hymns is giving away their entire music catalog... 74 songs... for free! According to their website: To celebrate our 7-year anniversary of making music, we're giving away our entire catalog of music for the month of March, including our original music from The Autumn Film! They are celebrating their own "Jubilee" for 7 years of making music. I have listened to most of their music over the past couple of years.  What I have listened to, I have really enjoyed.  As far as I can tell, they work hard at creating God-honoring, Christ-exalting music. If you would like to download this music, just head on over to their website: http://www.pagecxvi.com/jubilee/ If you download it, let me know in the comments.  I would like to hear what you think about their music.

My New Favorite Sandwich!

My new favorite thing to eat... Peanut Butter / Biscoff sandwiches! I first tried this with a product called  Speculoos Cookie Butter . My wife bought a jar of it at Trader Joe's .  Since she hadn't been back, I've been doing without... until I found the original at Wal-Mart!  It is called Lotus Biscoff Spread .  I am sure it is not all that healthy.  It is made from cookies, but it has no nuts in it (for those with allergies). If you check out the official website, you will see it's history and they will also point out that it is Vegan.  :)
