Bible Marginalia- Who Stands in the Margins?

Bible Marginalia Series- #141

This week has been a call

 for preparation for my heart.

An invitation to come 

and teach a Visual prayer 

workshop-

West North Ave-
Sandtown,

Baltimore.

The sign on all the doors on this street-
We Must STOP killing each other.

Reading in this section of Lamentations.

To see the poor and the

sojourner.

Those who live in the margins.

Do I have openings and space 

for the stranger in need?
Do I only give them the left overs and 
what I don't want or need?
A bit of the story of our time in Sandtown.

 A wonderful  warm welcome

A visual feast of color
 for a Praying in Color Workshop 

Dealing with the obstacles of :
Slowing Down
Paying attention
and 
Dealing with Distractions

Men and women
and
Students- 8th- 11 Grades 

Praying over the City of Baltimore
Together 

Checking time for quiet prayer exercise

New tools to use for 
personal and family use.
In Sunday School.
In all kinds of settings.
What does it
look like
to pray over the city of Baltimore?
Maybe this is the start of a new vision.
What a blessing to be with this group.

Bible Marginalia-Do not Fear!

Bible Marginalia Series- #140
Lamentations 3:55-57

Sometimes the weight is heavy.  
Days that seem too full of 

hard news and what ifs.

It is easy to forget that the 

Lord waits on us to call on Him.

He hears our plea.

He does not close an ear to us.

He comes NEAR to us.

He whispers- DO NOT FEAR!

No matter the outcome-

no matter what happens.

Your love abounds- oh Lord.

For this I give you thanks and praise.
You do not leave me alone-
therefore- 
I am richly blessed.
