I shared a few notes about tapping into the power of prayer by doing these three things:
1- praying in the NAME of Jesus (Luke 10:17-19; Philippians 2:10) 2- praying the BLOOD of Jesus (Revelation 12:11) 3- praying the WORD of God (Matthew 6)
Name a place where people go, which they insist be clean: 1- bathroom (42 votes) 2- restaurant (30) 3- the kitchen or a fridge (18) 4- hospital (6)

Today we featured wheat on our Who Knew Wednesday? foodie chat…so here are some of our fun facts gathered about it from the National Association of Wheat Growers:
– Wheat has been a principal cereal crop since the 1700’s as it is used for bread, pastries, pasta and pizza crusts
– About 75% of all American grain products are made from wheat flour
– About 50% of wheat grown in the U.S. is used here
– Kansas alone produces enough wheat each year to bake 36 billion loaves of bread
– An acre of wheat can feed about 9,000 people in one day
– Never refrigerate bagels or any bread product. Bread products go stale up to 6 times faster in the refrigerator. Leave these products at room temperature or freeze them.
– The first bagel rolled into the world in 1683 when a baker from Vienna, Austria was thankful to the King of Poland for saving Austria from Turkish invaders. The baker reshaped the local bread so that it resembled the King’s stirrup!
– One bushel of wheat weighs approximately 60 pounds and makes 42 pounds of white flour or 60 pounds of whole wheat flour
– A bushel of wheat makes about 42 pounds of pasta or 210 servings of spaghetti.
– Wheat is also prominent in flour tortillas and crackers
Wheat allergies are rare, but can still impact up to 6% of the population who are gluten-sensitive. So you can find plenty of tasty alternatives if you need to avoid wheat.

Former Cleveland Browns running back, Jim Brown! Congratulations to Judy from Mount Vernon who wins the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup.
Proverbs 27:6 says: Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. (NIV) You can trust a friend who corrects you, but kisses from an enemy are nothing but lies (CEV)
God offers His people advice on their friendships, which are an important part of spiritual life. Our friendships, and how we treat our friends, can tell a lot about our faith. We need to choose our friends wisely and treat them well. Our prayer is: Lord, build strong friendships in my life and help me to be a good friend in turn.

Today’s Monday Motivation focuses on God’s unfailing love, despite our mess, and on joy.
Todd’s devotional today is called ‘The One Who Sees,’ from author James Banks. Read it by clicking here.
Joe’s devotional focuses on joy:
And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:9-11 ESV
Not to be confused with happiness, joy is not dependent on external circumstances. It’s a Holy Spirit-inspired mystery that defies all reason. Living joyfully is not denying reality. But in the midst of our ‘parched desert’ times, our heavenly Father reaches to lift and sustain us.
PRAYER: Giver of strength, fill me with Your joy in the midst of sorrow like a desert flower, Amen.

#1 Laughter
On your feet now-applaud GOD! Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into his presence. Psalm 100:1-2 MSG
As children of the Creator Himself, we were made to laugh—to experience great joy. Our design didn’t include for us to carry the stress, worry, and heaviness every day. Go ahead! Ask God to give you a really good laugh today. Prayer: Lord, help me to rediscover laughter. Help me to take every opportunity You bring to see the joy in life and the comedy that it brings to my world every day. Amen.
#2 Christian Living
You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. Ephesians 2:19 MSG
What seems impossible on our own becomes a pleasure when we have help. We are never alone in our Christian journey. We are given one another, and we are even in touch with God’s Holy Spirit. Prayer: O Lord, show me how You want me to be. Open my eyes, my heart, my spirit. Amen.
Name a subject on which people are always giving unwanted advice. 1 – your love life 2 – raising kids 3 – money 4 – weight/health 5 – cooking
