* Welcome God every morning before work by taking ~5 min to read this Living In Faith Exchange (LIFE) Group devotion (life-devotions.blogspot.com), which has snippets from Living Faith (livingfaith.com).
Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for [someone] to devour. 1 Peter 5:8
Living Faith snippets: "Evil continues to prowl the world's streets, neighborhoods and homes. It often does not roar but comes quietly under subtle disguises. I believe it is vitally important that we heed the revered advice of Jesus to be sober and vigilant in order to offset potential dangers and to faithfully live our Christian lives. Lord, deliver us from evil and keep our feet on the path of virtue." by Fr. James McKarns (author of Saints and Seasons)
Pat nuggets:
* Last night, I attended the Expelled movie with Chad, Ben, Scott, and Jimmy. We all found the movie to be very insightful on how God is being pushed out of science vocabulary. Please watch the trailer at http://www.expelledthemovie.com/home.php. One of the highlights was when world renowned atheist, Richard Dawkins, acknowledged the possibility of advanced alien life adding intelligent design to the sequence of human life...yet he is 99% sure that God is a delusion. The movie highlights that Darwin does not have an explanation for the source of life. Darwin also took a major jump when using his observations of evolution within a species to justify evolution between species. Regardless, even evolution between species would not rule out God as the source and intelligent designer of life. The movie also highlights how Darwinism has fueled anti-ProLife and anti-Christian agendas. For example, Hitler used Darwinism to justify murdering the weak as defined by his point of view. And now, Science has built their own Berlin Wall to keep out God, the creator of science. Let's do our part to chip away at this wall (1 Cor 3:6-9). Like with the Berlin Wall, God's Truth will also bring this wall down...

* Chad shared these thoughts: "I have devoted much time in attempting to battle such voices as those from militant atheism such as Richard Dawkins. One very significant conclusion that I have thus far come to is that the fine sounding arguments against Christ often fall drastically short of reality. Perhaps when we lay down our life for Richard Dawkins, he may see the architect behind his will." cougarsdaily.blogspot.com
