Just a note to follow up with Teena's post. Please let her know if you would like to hang out at Grace House to see in the New Year. The facility is definitely available. I know many have plans with family and such but this would be a great opportunity to meet, fellowship, pray , play rook, and a thousand other things. It is also the last chance this year to get together, right?
Teena let us know if you have a group that wants to meet.
Blessings and Grace to You!

Re: Just being honest...
December 20, 2008 by eddiel
Great Adam! Thanks for being willing to say what so many think. Too often we have been taught to be dishonest about our true struggles. It is the cry for help in the midst of our doubt and unbelief that reveals our deeper level of faith. The Scripture says "deep calls unto deep." The fact that we call to God is because something within us knows that there is a God out there. I think it is in the times of our most intense struggles against doubt and unbelief that we finally move past the place our minds try to figure everything out and yield to God from our heart. This is the act of trust--the greatest expression of faith. Though I can't figure it out, I trust you to take care of me Lord. Like the man in Mark 9. He knew he didn't have what it took, but in admitting his weakness and unbelief he trusted Jesus to make up the difference. Great blog brother--keep on writing.

This is great Tammy. It's amazing the parallels to be found in the study of the wineskin. I am so glad you shared this with us and I would like to post it on our regular site as well.

Two Questions About Grace
November 28, 2008 by eddiel
Hey Grace House folks!
The tagline I sometimes use when communicating about Grace House is "Experiencing and Expressing God's Grace". I want to include some of your responses to this on our website postings at www.GraceHouse.info
So, share your heart in response to these two questions:
1. How do we experience God's grace?
2. How do we express God's grace?
Blessings,
Eddie

Prayer Requests
November 26, 2008 by eddiel
This section is for you to post your prayer needs. Let's all try to stick to a few ground rules here:
1. Keep it as brief as possible. There will be many posts here so we want people to be able to navigate through all of them.
2. Please do not reveal or embarrass anyone by the details you share.
3. Remember you are sharing a prayer need so it is not the place to share an opinion.
4. Please pray for other requests that are submitted.
Thanks,
