Blind poet praises God for gift to express his praise
Matt Harris, a member of Grace Church of Sunset Beach in MD, writes books of poetry about the parables of Christ and Old Testament prophecies. “Sonnets For Messiah,” was released in May. Harris enjoys the sound of verse and the colorful rich images of words. But he can’t see them. Harris is blind.

July 2009
As I write this, the world has just learned of the death of Michael Jackson. Of course it is a vivid reminder of the brevity and fragility of life. Of all his songs the one I have always liked is “The Man In The Mirror.” As I sat through this year’s Southern Baptist Convention in Louisville, Ky., I kept thinking that, yes, we may need a Great Commission Resurgence (GRC). Yes, we may need to rethink some of our SBC infrastructure. But more than that, we need an old fashioned mega-dose of obedience.

For those of us who are preachers and pastors, Sundays are not days of rest. We must have another day of the week for rest, focus, and spiritual development.

Focus on health and fitness: Daily exercise
