Want to Read $ 4.99"One thing I've learned is that when I say, "Hey so-and-so, I'm struggling with loneliness right now and could really use a chat with you because I love you,"... I almost always get a quick and tender response."-Terry J. Stokes, Prayers for the People: Things We Didn't Know We Could Say to God
"A daily self-examination that I've landed on in the past couple of months is, "Did I give God my faithful act of service today?"... it is so tempting to evaluate the success of the meeting by attendance, or enthusiasm, or my own reaction to the discussion."-Terry J. Stokes, Prayers for the People: Things We Didn't Know We Could Say to God
"This was also my introduction to the kind of prayer called a "collect" (KA-lict, emphasis on the first syllable). A collect is a short written prayer that gathers up (or collects) similar prayer concerns and articulates them in a broad, general way. Put differently, it crystallizes or condenses a variety of similar ideas into one prayer that... is something that an entire communion can lift up together."-Terry J. Stokes, Prayers for the People: Things We Didn't Know We Could Say to God
"My favorite of {Netflix's] descriptors is "chosen family." A big part of the evergreen appeal of big hits like The Office, Parks and Recreation, New Girl, 30 Rock, etc., is the way in which a bunch of ragtag misfits commit to being not just "workplace proximity associates" or roommates or friends of friends, but people who are inextricably, irremovably interwoven into one another's lives on a daily basis... For me, that's family crystallized."-Terry J. Stokes, Prayers for the People: Things We Didn't Know We Could Say to God
