Global Day of Prayer

I didn't get to this website until today, but it's not too late to begin to participate in what looks to be a great initiative for the Body of Christ to join together in prayer.  Please check out this website and consider being a part.
Global Day of Prayer Website

And for my friends in the Jacksonville area, the specific info is here:
First Coast Global Day of Prayer

These websites contain preparations and prayers we can pray in unity with other believers from around the world.  There really is a strong anointing on this, which you can feel when you visit the websites.  I hope you will add your prayer to the prayers going up around the world. 
I certainly will.

New Start for "Fireberries"

I've been rethinking some things on here, partly to make it doable for me, and partly to make things better for readers. "Fireberries" is revamped now. I have deleted the previous blog entries, which were mostly long Bible studies (which may or may not be posted in another blog), and I have begun posting short, Scripture based confessions which will appear daily. I am convinced that this is more in keeping with the original vision for "Fireberries", and I am looking forward to the encouragement it will give me as well as though who read it. If you like it, please pass it on!

A Special Publication

I've just uploaded a collection of 50 haiku, which I have titled "A Floridian Sketchbook." I've been working on this since 2004, and have finally finished it, at least for now. If you like haiku, which I think is one of the most accessible forms of poetry, you might enjoy reading these on my poetry blog, "Words Like Grapes." (links on this page). It is just as the title suggests, all inspired by the theme of life in Florida, with all its beauty, water and wonderful wildlife. I'd love to hear your impression of these. I hope you enjoy them!
