i'm guessing that long titles are in, or else i am out...

so i've been doing a study throughout this year, and i'm kinda working at putting it together as a compilation...

as we've been doing some of it in youth group, we've entitled the segment "learning to pray from the pauline epistles," but i think that i have now settled on the title "a guide to prayer for fellow believers based on paul's prayers for the churches throughout his various epistles"

kinda long, but you get the idea of what it is right up front... there is SOOOOOOO much cool stuff there, and it has been a real guide for me. i think that compiling it all together will help to take it to the next level for thoughtful meditation and prayer.

as i was thinking about this post, i was reminded of a really good book that i read awhile back by thomas watson entitled "Heaven Taken by Storm: Showing the Holy Violence a Christian Is to Put Forth in the Pursuit After Glory". he was a puritan author. i guess long titles WERE cool then, or else maybe he wasn't cool either. hmmm - i'm guessing that puritans didn't really care about being cool. i probably shouldn't either. anyhow, if you ever need a good read - this is it. short book, packed with power.

I actually had a discussion today with someone about publishing a book. Mine has to do with Creative Play for Munchkins ( the 5 and under set, not the Oz kind...) but my title isn't as long. So sad. I should have a cool long title. Speedy says hi. It's cold here, he's got his nose buried under his leg. He almost looks like a donut. Yeah, a Speedy donut... I'm sleepy. I should go to bed now.
