You told us you were working on an episode featuring us sharing our experiences (which I'm listening to right this second), so I'm sure most people just knew we'd have to wait for it a little bit. =)<br/>Glad the podcast is back, thought!<br/><br/>Oh yeah, and I'm pretty bummed that I won't get to see you guys tonight at Philips Arena. I was at Passion and a friend of mine was carrying the Passion '07 CDs around school today...I miss you! Haha. Is there gonna be any chance of a DVD or CD from the How Great Is Our God tour?<br/><br/>Thanks for everything you do! Hey guys, we didn’t forget about you or your podcast!

And your really brought it last night! <br/><br/>Being close enough to see the conviction all of your eyes..wow. SO glad that our God holds it all together. May he continue to hold all your efforts together on the tour and as Passion heads around the world. <br/><br/>For his glory<br/>Tommy<br/>www.believingthomas.net Louie,

You have GOT to be kidding. Coffee stunts growth? Seriously? I guess it doesn't completely surprise me--the stuff is so toxic... Not like it helps me any though--my system skipped out on the growth thing long before I started drinking coffee--but that's interesting. :)<br/><br/>Anonymous 11:09--I agree and can testify to some of the same. And to all--keep sharing. It's such a blessing! Glad to be hearing of what God is doing! Oh my word, Anonymous. You have GOT to be kidding. Coffee stunts growth? Seriously?

I wasn't sure if anything was going to be said about it. I was almost certain the floor of that beautiful building was about to cave in though. Chatt was amazing Tues, I agree.

A friend and NEW believer who is a Dr. came Tue. night. He was so moved by everything but especially laminin. He went home researched it and it is now on his computer! There are many other stories of blessings from that night but as usual God showed up to meet people in awesome ways! <br/><br/>I also made an earth shattering discovery Tue. I received a call Tue. afternoon that Matt was in a coffee shop where many from our church work. When my husband and I were walking to our places to usher for the concert we saw Matt and I just had to ask him if anyone had bothered to tell him that coffee stunts his growth. He said he found out too late. Well, I say why give up...how will he ever catch up with Chris if he doesn't stop stunting his growth?! We love you guys! May The Lord continue to bless and protect you physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I kept waiting to see if Louis would post anything about Chatt. to leave a comment but I had to share this.

It was a great encouragement and i really helped me when I left for South Asia a few days after. I want you to know that my silver "shine" bracelet saw 4 different countries on 3 different continents. One of the main purposes for our trip was to shine, to be a light in the spiritually dark and war-torn country that we were in. The GO center was especially helpful in the encouragement and preparation, it helped me deal with some fears and such that I was just kind of pushing to the back. I thought that it was ironic, that the buzz word for Passion this year was shine, and thats exactly what I was going to be doing and did in South Asia. I honestly think that it was a huge God thing. Thanks again for everything. God's blessings on your endeavors this year, I'll be praying for you and the whole Passion family.<br/><br/>P.S. - Is there any way to get one of the "Shine" shirts from Passion? They ran out of my size before I could get one... Louie, I didn’t make the deadline for the story sharing, but I thought I’d let you know how great it was to be able to go to Passion this year.

Found it last night in the midst of my studies re: the elements of praise Psalms.<br/><br/>"One of these [distinctive praise] elements is the elevation and exaltation of the person being praised. A second one is the directing of the speaker's whole being away from himself or herself toward the object of praise. Psalms of praise are filled with the speaker's feelings, but we do not look at the speaker. Instead, we share his feelings as a way of experiencing the worthiness of God. In the words of C.S. Lewis, "The poet is not a man who asks me to look at him; he is a man who says 'look at that' and points.'" Another ingredient of much praise is testimony. Praise, in other words, has a communal dimension to it, and it often occurs in a worship setting."<br/><br/>Leland Ryken, "How to read the Bible As Literature," (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1984).

I've read from it every day since Passion, but I use different translations using a reading plan I devised. So far, I've read with TNIV, NLT, KJV (that was HARD!) and am now working on The Message. Then, I journal and/or post on the blog about insights God is offering through the reading. It has been really interesting ... Not memorizing Colossians, but I am immersing myself in it.
