• It's kind of funny that one of the books that I was buying on the Fateful Day of Bad Salespeople was Praying the Names of God.  I love looking at the names of God and seeing what they mean and how they are related to God's movement and Word.  So, I was really excited about it.  I have this other book by the same author.  I think it's just called Women of the Bible.  Something about the format is kind of hard for me to study, but I do like seeing the passages and the related names of God.  Each week you learn a new name and some of the passages where it can be found.  This week the name was Elohim--which means God is Strength.

  So, I've been trying to focus on that this week and find out what God is trying to say to me through that.  How is he showing me his strength?  I am doing a Bible study with some people and this guy has been teaching from the book of Acts.  We have been studying very, very thoroughly and we were looking at what was different between the disciples before and after Christ's death and resurrection.  And we were saying how, after Jesus resurrected--He was alive!  If Jesus had stayed dead, then that would be it.  Story over.  But He didn't stay dead, He rose from the dead and He is alive.  NOW!

  This song brought it all home for me.  The chorus is the best where it says--"The same power that conquered the grave lives in ME!" You ARE here, my Lord forever.  Amen.
