Dear Everyone,
Our Lenten journey is coming to an end. This week, all that remains of “Three Simple Rules” is a hymn adapted from John Wesley’s writings, “Stay in Love with God.” While I was looking for a recording of the hymn, I found a short introduction to “Three Simple Rules” Bishop Job, the author, which you can view here. The hymn is played at the end of the video.
This week, I intend to re-read the previous section on Prayer and try to structure my daily prayer around this guide. And I intend to take time to mediate on the hymn and other sacred music. I welcome your comments and reflections below, and your favourite sacred music.
On Sunday, I’ll be joining the All Things SR Podcast chatroom at 2PM (Eastern). Join me here.
I hope everyone celebrating has a Blessed Holy Week and a Happy Easter. I also want to wish a Chad Pesach Sameach to my Jewish friends as they celebrate Passover.
Peace be with you all,
SR
I am honoured to have had all three of my novels appear on the New York Times and USA Today Bestseller lists. I was a Semifinalist for Best Author in the 2011 and 2012 Goodreads Choice Awards. {
First, my apologies for not being active in this Lenten blog. I’m afraid with planning my brother’s Celebration of Life and following my other two daily devotionals, as well as adding this one, my actual time on any type of social media has dropped off. However, I have stayed up to date with this reading and wanted you to know that it was very much appreciated. Who knew, that “3 Simple Rules” would be so thought provoking! I enjoyed all three chapters, but “Stay in Love with God” was my favorite, and where I felt I needed to do the most work. It is so easy to fall short here… it’s a constant reminder to love Him, that let’s us get better at the first two.
SR, please know that your reading selections, both Lenten and Advent, always bring much joy and insight and I always look forward to them. (Also looking forward to you joining the AllThingsSR podcast tomorrow….always a treat to have you onboard!)
