Take ~5 minutes to read this 'COUGARS Daily' which contains snippets from the previous day's A Slice of Infinity. Read the 'Slice' each day and email me with your comments/experience/prayers etc. I will compile comments and put them into this 'snippets' version to share.
Here are the snippets/comments from FRIDAY. Remember, this is one day back, so when you have time, read today's 'A Slice of Infinity' and then send me your comments. If you have comments about this particular post, please log in to the blog and post there.
- “So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son." (John 1:14)
.. When the New Testament writers began to speak of creation through the light of all they saw in Jesus Christ, they affirmed the Old Testament understanding of total dependence upon the maker of heaven (and) earth, but they spoke also of Christ’s presence as the Word at the beginning. Likewise, the early church began to see the role and presence of the Spirit in God’s creative work. Creation, they came to understand, and all we see within it, is the work of a Trinitarian God. Each person of the Trinity in relationship with one another brings forth out of nothing a creation reflective of the goodness and love of a divine community. In this image of God and the fullness of life in the Trinity, creation is affirmed not as emerging from any lack in God, but from God’s communal abundance. All of creation declares the glory of God, the work of the loving interaction between Father, Son, and Spirit.
Chad's Comments:
As I peruse the enormous amounts of information thrown at us daily through media and mind, I begin to recognize the 'influence' of culture, media and mind over my interpretation of scripture and relationship building. Oh, may God give us wisdom and discernment.
Reflect on the three questions above. Let God lead you into the answers. What does He want me to create? (possibly this involves your line of work or maybe your hobbies. Maybe it is just an idea that comes to you and may seem odd or insignificant. Ask God if it is something He has for you.) What does He want me to collaborate in creating? (This could be a work Bible study as Danny has created. This could be the COUGARS blog that you participate in. This could be helping at church or getting involved in a missions program or street outreach that God is already moving in.)
I wish I journaled more. Telling and re-telling HIS-story is a wonderful way to see God's hand and build my trust in HIM.

- How is it that we are joining God in creation as a community?
- What kind of kingdom are we illumining by our life together and influence upon the world?
- What kind of stories are we telling and retelling, and how are we inviting those around us to join in the great Story we have been given?
