Live Dead: Day 24

Who doesn’t love to start their week off reading about sacrificial giving?  The answer is me.  It seems like no matter how good I feel like I’m doing in the area of giving, there is always a way to be challenged more.  Even though we give regularly to different things, it just seems like there’s […]

Live Dead: Day 23

I was looking back through old posts, and realized I started this in November.  Over 5 months ago, I started this 30 day challenge.  That’s pretty out of character for me for several reasons.  1.  I like to win.  Finishing a challenge is winning, I usually finish what I start promptly.  2.  I love the […]

Live Dead: Day 22

Interruptions.  I hate them, you probably do too.  For me, I like a schedule, I enjoy routine, and I plan on being early.  Interruptions, well, interrupt the plans that I have for myself.  But often God will use interruptions that feel at the time quite inconvenient.  Today’s challenge/reading was about seeing how God works through […]

Live Dead: Day 21

I have a day slammed full of missions event planning, so I decided the day needed to be started off with some Live Dead challenge.  After speaking for a few minutes in church yesterday, I came to a realization.  This 30 day journal/challenge has taken me nearly 4? months to complete.  I mentioned that in […]

Live Dead: Day 20

Well I took some time off from blogging because the black plague of awful hit the kids and Amanda, and then me for two weeks.  I’m still just getting over it, but I am back into the swing of things this Easter week.  I even ate breakfast this morning, after a week of virtually nothing […]

Live Dead: Day 19

Proclaiming God’s truth.  Today’s theme was not being silent, even in the face of fear or persecution.  Many of the days in the journal are challenging, but this one specifically was more of an encouragement to go forth and share the awesome news about Jesus.  Silently watching, serving, and meeting people’s basic needs are not […]

Live Dead: Day 18

Today’s main topic was about unreached people groups.  I never thought about it before today, but I take for granted all the amazing resources available to me just by living in the United States.  I have access to hundreds of thousands of sermons, christian music, hundreds of translations of bibles (both print and electronic) and […]

Live Dead: Day 17

Normally when I sit down when I first get to the office I crack open Live Dead and read that, then I play some music and worship, then I’ll read through the plan I have for reading the Bible.  Today, I went Bible, Live Dead, blog.  The order change was interesting since today’s focus was […]

Live Dead: Day 16

Today’s topic was was having a willing heart; but today’s challenge was to research Somalia, Sudan, Comoros, Eritrea, and Djbouti.  If God called me to one of those place, to reach an unreached people group, would my heart be willing? Here’s what I learned: Somalia: What a mess.  It’s sad to read about all the […]

Live Dead: Day 15 Part Deux

Well  I didn’t cheat and look ahead to the next day yesterday, but it turns out day 15 was in two parts.  This makes sense as I wasn’t all that impressed or challenged with the first half of yesterday’s reading.  Uh, part two took care of that.  The most challenging reading yet, and I have […]
