We're away, so please pray

Just a quick note to say that the WordLive team and the rest of Scripture Union are taking a day out to focus on God and the mission given to us. 2009 was a difficult year for us and so as we begin 2010 it will be good to get things in the right order.

I'm also taking an extra day out with a smaller group of creative peeps from SU to look at the future. Or more specifically what resources we should be developing for the faith community.

So, once again, we'd appreciate your prayers to help us focus on God's will.

Thanks
Darren

Monday, Monday, so good to me

Monday mornin', it was all I hoped it would be'

Okay, the Mammas and the Papas were singing about lurve, but what do we hope Monday will bring? Or more importantly, as I was getting ready for the week ahead, what is our / my focus for the week?

I was looking at more than a dozen emails in the inbox, a to do list that despite my best efforts seemed to have some items slipping into the red overdue colour and a calendar with several meetings I need to prepare for.

As I sat looking at the above I realised that all these things are secondary, my focus and starting point is God. Working for a Christian organisation makes that quite obvious, but it is still easy to slip into task mode, when sometimes vision and goal mode is where we need to begin.

Why is Monday morning so good to me? Because God is with me.

How is Monday going for you?
