Update

 Once upon a time , someone asked me if I would be happy working a job that was not at the university. Since my position at the university closed in 2020, I found myself doing exactly that— working in jobs not at the university. It has been a very difficult transition.  Recently, things shifted quickly and in unexpected ways. The short version is that I am leaving the hotel which I am currently working, having taken a position at another.  The longer version of the story is that I stopped by to see my good friend and former GM at his new hotel. While I was visiting with him, one of the owners came out and introduced himself and we got to talking. After a few minutes, he said he wanted me to meet his brother. Our conversation turned into a job interview and 48 hours later I accepted a new position as front desk, manager and assistant operations manager. After some negotiating, we reached an agreement and I start my new position on April 9. It’s a much nicer hotel and these...

I hope you are sitting down . . .

Don't those words just communicate VOLUMES? "I hope you are sitting down."
Well, I hope you are because I just heard the news.
You heard it too, did'nt you?
In case you didn't, here it is:

Bruce Wilkinson's been holding out on you.

If you've purchased "The Prayer of Jabez", throw it out because apparently Bruce gives us the "new and improved" prayer of Jabez . . . either that, or those wide borders you've prayed for can simply be wider than they are. Wilkinson has just released his new book, "Beyond Jabez: expanding your borders."

Amazon's description includes these remarks: "This follow-up message discusses in greater detail the specific steps to take in making this scriptural passage part of your prayer life. For each of the prayer's four sections, Wilkinson explains important biblical distinctions, answers misconceptions about the prayer, offers practical steps to praying the prayer, and shows potential results in readers' lives. New content, exciting Jabez-inspired stories, and enriched commentary from Dr. Wilkinson make this a must-have for anyone who wants to live a world-changing life for God."

Oh. Ok.

Just came out in bookstores . . . just in time for those Easter presents.

You know, it's one thing to be dissatisfied with where you are with all that God has allowed you to have. It's another thing to pray to manipulate God to give you more with a magical prayer so you can be happier. But it's another thing altogether to say, "hey, I still don't have enough" or to "jump at the chance" to finally get that prayer right . . . in case God hasn't answered the last prayer of Jabez you've prayed. Yet.

If you really REALLY want to read something, why not check out Gary Gilley's book "I just wanted more land."
