Susan /     I loved the comment by the man whose shraing included this:  Prayer is where my strength comes from.   It seemed like a great twist on the common scenario where people pray because they feel like they're slipping over the cliff's edge and are hoping prayer will arrest their fall.  Praying consistently especially starting the day with it provides a strength that will carry us through our day and help with whatever issues we may face.  It's a foundation, a step up.  A vantage point.  Especially, as Kurt points out above, when we use that time to silence our laundry list of personal concerns and quietly ask,  Okay, what is God doing right now?   And then listen for the answers that will come.I liked that Chief Kerns' presentation gave us not just a laundry list of problems, but valuable insights into the causes of the crime and violence seen in our area.  Once you have this larger picture, you want to be part of the solution.  It's harder to shrug off the problem and figure it's someone else's problem to deal with.
