		<description><![CDATA[pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks ~1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 My prayer life has sucked lately. It&#8217;s one of those things you don&#8217;t dare say as a Christian but if we are honest with each other I think we can all admit we have times where we just struggle with some particular part of our walk, whether it be prayer or reading or being kind or patient. For whatever reason though it&#8217;s okay to admit we are struggling with patience but prayer and staying in the Word seem uncouth as if we lose part of our Christianity if we dare admit it. I&#8217;m unclear why I felt dried up in this area. In reflection there are things on the horizon for me which will require deeper strength and diligence and wisdom. Perhaps like a tree without water I needed to be thirsty in order to grow roots much deeper into...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/radical-christianity/awake-from-your-slumber/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter- when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; Isaiah 58: 6-8 I would encourage you to read the whole chapter of Isaiah 58. What a cool picture of true fasting. A day removed from the beginning of lent I started to reflect on the beginning of my journey. Not yesterday, but my journey from my previous thoughts on fasting to where I am now as I start out on my 40 days. I humbly...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/christian-living/sacrifice-for-a-king/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in 2003 I was at Fenway Park for game 4 of the divisional series against the Oakland A’s. The Red Sox had lost the first two games and would need to win the next 3 in order to advance. They won game 3 to stay alive and as game 4 was winding down it appeared their season was over. Down in the bottom of the eighth their bats came alive and with two outs Big Papi strode to the plate. Back then he was menacing. A giant superman logo was etched in his chest and fire came from his nostrils. Okay I made that up. But back then when he came to the plate you always felt like you were watching something special. With two out it would take a miracle for them to win. Ortiz slapped a double down the right field line, scoring the go ahead run...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/radical-christianity/lausanne-movement-worship/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The idea of faith is so astounding to me. Belief in things unseen, so dear to ones heart that they would sacrifice for it, give to it, and even be martyred for it. It became increasingly evident as I was here that as an American I lack faith and a sense of urgency. I was talking to my new friend Peter, walking around the city of Cape Town when he said that his church was having a conference too, in December. In American fashion the next question out of my mouth was “What’s it about?”. His answer really put my question in perspective: “We don’t know yet.” As westernized Christianity goes we tend to strip God of the ability to blow our minds and direct our path. We hold committee meetings, decide on topics and discussions, invite specific speakers, and at the end pray “Lord bless this”. We’re so privileged...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/american-christianity/lausanne-movement-day-7-faith/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone has a unique story, something awe inspiring in some way. Today I met a fellow volunteer from Israel who survived a terrorist attack. Steve works on the web team with me and has helped me at times with the Arabic I am putting up on the site. While at a restaurant with a friend he got what he described as a deep feeling to go home. He told his friend who tried to persuade him to stay. After a short while they decided to leave and as they left the restaurant it exploded, killing their waitress as well as several of the band members who were playing that night. He handed me a pen from Israel today with a small scroll that rolls out of it with a traveler’s prayer on one side and some photos of Israel on the other. It’s one of the small things I’ll take...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/non-violent-resistance/lausanne-movement-day-4-unique-stories/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[fogs seem to go on forever. sometimes it’s nearly impossible to see one foot in front of you, and you certainly can’t see a destination on the horizon. that pretty much sums up where I have been over the last 2 weeks. it seems that i have allowed responsibilities (failed and forthcoming) to overwhelm me. this may come as a result of the fact that i am a (self-proclaimed) dreamer (jen would probably affirm this). i spend a lot of time with my head in the clouds, envisioning where we will be someday down the road, but it seems that I live my day to day life with zero visibility. i spend so much time thinking about how things should be or how I could help make things better, that i neglect the little things that would allow me to faithfully lead my family. my prayer, as of late, has...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/christian-living/the-fog/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. ~Psalm 147:3 Lord, I don&#8217;t understand. My heart is heavy and my eyes burn. I hear the rain falling outside my window and wonder why it&#8217;s falling on everyone. Will it stop? I&#8217;ve always known that pruning was painful and I&#8217;ve seen some light pruning over my years but nothing like this. Your shears are cutting deep and further back than I&#8217;ve ever seen. Many it seems are falling prey to the pleasures of this world. You&#8217;ve pruned and they&#8217;ve withered and fallen away. Satan has tricked us, each in our weakest point, in to believing there&#8217;s nothing better. He&#8217;s drawn on our selfishness and brought us to places where our desires are fulfilled. When will You call them back home? Will You call them back home? I&#8217;m a broken man, a man who sees no place here for his head....  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/prayers/impassioned-prayer/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus ~Phillipians 4:7 I saw it in her eyes as I slowly made my way down the line at the wake. It&#8217;s not something you can really put your finger on, not something that you can tell someone how to get or explain when you see it. I can only quantify it as &#8220;You know it when you see it&#8221;. Her eyes weren&#8217;t empty. She had just lost her son at 17 to a terrible disease but there was life still there as our eyes met. For someone who has witnessed this themselves, and has taken part in this peace, the words that come out next aren&#8217;t the words that someone at a wake would normally hear. They are no longer words of condolence so much as words of thanks, praise, and...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/christian-living/confusing-peace/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>
