Friends I’ll Never Know
A wide open world, the ether,
the web, the connectedness
the world so small,
touching so many lives
friends I will never know
finding me in the language
of the internet, discovering
perhaps a jewel for their eye,
their mind, hopefully, blessed
in the words I
have been called to write
to post to the world,
published in bits and bytes
sent out to points unknown
to eyes I will never see
to friends I will never know

Life Without Limbs - update (first post 7/8/07) - on 20/20
I received the following email yesterday. I hope to watch, and I encourage you to also. See more on Nick at - http://www.lifewithoutllimbs.org/.
"Hello Friend, Nick Vujicic here!
Several days ago ABC’s 20/20 program interviewed me at my home here in Southern California. What a remarkable opportunity to share about Life Without Limb’s ministry and the impact that we are having upon thousands throughout the United States and the world!
The 20/20 broadcast will air this Friday, March 28th at 9:00pm PST/EST. (Check your local listings)
It is my greatest desire to faithfully share the life-changing, obstacle-overcoming, gospel message with as many people as I can. As a man with no arms or legs, my very testimony breaks down barriers to express the hope that can be found only in Jesus Christ.
The country of the United States needs this hope right now! Would you pray with me that God will use the 20/20 interview to stir up souls for the Kingdom? This is my first national interview on American television and the questions of the interviewer guided the conversation continually back to hope in Christ.
Here are some ways we can work together to make the most of this incredible opportunity:
1. Please pray that God will use the 20/20 interview to awaken souls to Him.
2. Please forward this e-mail to all of your friends.I am looking forward to hearing from you in the days to come.
May our Lord bless you and ignite His will in your life today!
In His service,
Nick Vujicic &
The LifeWithoutLimbs Team"

Use Me as I am
Lord, even now,
when I am cracked, chipped
imperfect, use me as I am,
to do your work, here in the world
use my imperfection, my brokenness
in the work of your son, our savior
put me to work in the vineyard, in the fields,
in the dark places of this earth
Help me to be your servant, now
even in my chipped state
may I be a useful vessel,
even now, for your Glory

Being Ever New Clay
Mold me, Lord.
Pick me back up,
when I am chipped, cracked,
broken into pieces,
when my glaze fades,
when I am tarnished.
Make me forever new clay,
malleable, moldable,
fresh and new,
ready for your hands,
the hands of the potter
to make me a useful vessel
for your purposes
To mend me, fill the cracked places
repair my brokenness
and bring me back to you

Cheerful Piety
Quiet, reverent, cheerful piety
living happily in relationship
in direct connection with God
Praying, fasting, giving, communing
with God, not for show,
for praise, for recognition.
Walking humbly, with God
showing faith to God
Hiding our actions, in private,
For God alone revealed
Waiting on the Lord,
trusting in Him grace
in all we do, for His glory

The Prayer of Repentance
I received an emailed copy of a prayer, attributed to have been made by Pastor Joe Wright at the opening session of Kansas Senate. I did a bit more research and found the original prayer.
I don’t agree with all of what he said; but I believe it is worthy of sharing. I am far more liberal, more inclusive, than him in my theology, as a United Methodist. I would not speak in absolutes, as he does in many of the lines of his prayer. There are many statements I would dispute, or at least word differently. I do, however, worry about our country, when we seem to drift into coarseness and away from the religious ideals that guided our nation’s founding, and especially when we decide that torture is acceptable, ever.
We are to be in the world but not of the world. We are to love our neighbor, even our enemies, as the story of the Good Samaritan teaches us. We are to care for our brothers and sisters, the least, the last, the lost. We should set our sights on God, not false idols and things of this world.
With all of the above in mind, this is the text of the original prayer, verbatim unedited, delivered January 23, 1996 by Central Christian Church (Wichita, KS) Pastor Joe Wright to the Kansas House of Representatives in Topeka. See the link to this prayer at: http://centralcc.org/NewsNow/JoeArticles/JoeRepentancePrayer.html
Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and seek your direction and guidance.
We know your Word says, "Woe to those who call evil good," but that's exactly what we've done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values.
We confess that we have ridiculed the absolute truth of your Word and called it moral pluralism.
We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism.
We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building esteem.
We have abused power and called it political savvy.
We have coveted our neighbors' possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us O God and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked way in us; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent here by the people of Kansas, and who have been ordained by you, to govern this great state.
Grant them your wisdom to rule and may their decisions direct us to the center of your will. I ask it in the name of your son, the living savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

what we long for, for our land
To be the country we desire to be

Email to President Bush today - Our Means must be Christ-centered
Mr. President -
As a United Methodist, I read daily the Upper Room. Yesterday's was very powerful - The key sentence was, "How we do what we do is as much a witness to Christ as what we seek to do.
Or, to put it differently: Our end doesn't justify the means if the means is wrong. Our means must be consistent with the way, truth, and life of Christ."
Please pray on this wisdom, when you decide whether or not to allow the United States of America to commit torture. Waterboarding is Torture, and Torture is against the United Methodist Social Principles. The ends do not justify the means. Ever.
Be Christ in your Presidency and the legacy of your Administration will be love.

Sent by the National Religious Campaign Against Torture
Dear Friends:
Earlier this month Congress passed H.R. 2082, a bill that would prohibit all U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA, from subjecting detainees to waterboarding, stress positions, hypothermia, and other forms of torture. The President’s signature is all this bill needs to become law.
Unfortunately, President Bush has said he plans to veto the bill. If he does not change his mind, this important anti-torture legislation will not become law.
Please contact the White House and tell President Bush’s staff that you support H.R. 2082 (the Intelligence Authorization bill), and that you think it is essential that the anti-torture provision in the bill becomes law. You can use a sample email that we have prepared to contact the President, or you can call the White House at 202-456-1111. Click here for the sample http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2162/t/3805/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=21961.
Please feel free to personalize the email.
We would also like to remind you of two important torture-related events on March 7th and 8th in Washington, DC. There will be an Interfaith Mini-Conference (http://www.nrcat.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=148&Itemid=103) on U.S.-sponsored torture, as well as a workshop: Torture and What Churches Can Do (http://www.nrcat.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=150&Itemid=103), at Ecumenical Advocacy Days (http://www.advocacydays.org/). Many people of faith will be in Washington that weekend for Ecumenical Advocacy Days and/or Interfaith Peace Witness (http://olivebranchinterfaith.org/welcome) sponsored by the Christian Peace Witness for Iraq/The Olive Branch Interfaith Peace Partners.
Thank you for all that you do to end U.S.-sponsored torture.

To stand for our nation,

The men who have led the nation
through the years and struggles,
the hope and promise
within the dream that is America.
That seed planted in this fertile soil
nurtured, guarded, by each generation
successive and cumulative,
changing but constant.
Humans, with flaws, passion;
with vision and gravitas.
Stewards of our land for years only
but for posterity as well,
a legacy for our future.
In their hands, we have entrusted
that which is America.

through thick and thin,
believing in it always,
working to change our country
to more fully realize
our loftier ideals
