An Ordinary Life "God chose things the world considers foolish in order shame those who think they are wise."  ~ 1 Corinthians 1:27 *

" I invite you to pray this prayer with me: " 'Loving Father, you made me, so you know very well that I am but dust.  Yet you have called me into your kingdom to serve you at this specific place, at this specific time, for a very specific purpose.  Despite my ordinariness, I belong to you—and you are anything but ordinary!  Help me pour out your grace and compassion among others that they, too, may experience the richness of your love.  Through me, my Father, show others how you can use an ordinary life to bring extraordinary blessing into the world.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.'
