60-60 Experiment

It was started by John Burke, at Gateway Church, in Austin, TX. The goal is to experience how wonderful life is when we stay in connection with God.

In Matthew 22:36-40 (NLT) Jesus is asked what the most important commandment is under the law of Moses. Jesus tells them: " 'You must love the Lord Your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' The entire law and all the prophets are based on these two commandments."

"The point," John Burke posits, "of life is relationship. Loving God and loving people is what God created us for; everything else in scripture is commentary on what that means."

So for 60 days, every 60 minutes we will attempt to stay connected to God. We have become so ingrained in life, that we forget to stay connected with God. To interrupt us and remind us to connect with God, buy a watch or set an alarm you can carry with you, that goes off every 60 minutes. For me, I set my iPhone to go off once an hour. Or, you could set a wrist watch to chime every hour.

During that time, pray to God, thank Him for His radical love, thank Him for his character, His promises. Write down a few key scriptures to keep with you and read during those times.

Sound good? Want to join me in this experiment? Let me know.

Okay...so, it's been awhile...

I know...I know...I don't call. I don't write. Whatev (as the kids say).

So, I am more than a little frustrated with the Mac at work. I am having to clean everything off of it and install from scratch. Fun!

However, I am going to go over to a friend's house for Easter lunch, so that should be fun!
