Inspiration

While visiting the Atlanta area, I walked through a lovely park with a wide path where people could jog, run their dogs or ride trail bikes. As I descended a hill, I saw a woman coming toward me, pushing a stroller with two toddlers in it.

"We're coming to a hill," the woman announced to her children, "so you'll have to help me. Are you ready?"

I wondered how the little ones could be of assistance, but as I passed by I heard them earnestly repeating their encouragement:

"I think I can, I think I can..."

"The resurrection of Christ is the most joyful event that ever came to pass."

- Jonathan Edwards

A man had a habit of grumbling at the food his wife placed before him at family meals. Then he would ask the blessing. One day after his usual combination complaint-prayer, his little girl asked, "Daddy, does God hear us when we pray?"

"Why, of course," he replied. "He hears us every time we pray."

She thought about this a moment, then asked, "Does he hear what we say when we're not praying too?"

Here is a great 6 minute x-ray of Evangelicalism in America.
