RS240:Worship, Prayer & Meditation
The Worship Arts Conservatory (www.worshiparts.org)

Course Statement: This course focuses on the challenge of spiritual growth as it relates to the devotional practices of worship, prayer and meditation. It offers grounding in the principles and practices of building an inner devotional life based on the writings of three devotional masters who have gone before us—Jonathan Edwards, Jeanne Guyon, and Brother Lawrence. The goal of this course is to equip the worshiper with the tools required to activate passionate devotion, one of the keys to releasing the nature, character and glory of God both personally and corporately.

Norway in the Olympics!

Norway is not famous for their achievements in the Summer Olympics since they are snow-people. They shine at the Winter Games in a variety of events, however. I have kept my eye on the Norwegians during these Games in London and will always cheer for them (us). If I were there, this would be me.....if I were a man, that is.



GO NORGE!!!!!
