Quietly Working

We've been quietly working on the Star Project these last few months. We have so many irons in the fire that weekly Star Board meetings are double-stuffed with discussion and prayer. Some of the fun stuff can't be put out on this list yet -- deals must be made first. But *some* fun stuff is ready to share. For example, visit bethlehemstar.net and click on the new yellow "Press" link near the bottom of the home page. Now, that's fun!

A dear friend in the Lord made a comment to me some months ago. She loves the Star Project, but joked that she hopes the Lord doesn't use her in a similar way! She meant that a Project that simply doesn't stop seems daunting. The Star Project is nearing 10 years old, and how far we come! How far there is to go!

When you glance at the Press page, please notice that the Star is cutting right across denominational lines. Anyone who reveres our Messiah can appreciate this message. So join me in prayer on those two topics.

If you have time:

"Father, we know that Jesus worked quietly for many years. Growing in his faith and love, and waiting on your timing. But, even with His example, it can be hard to keep on keeping on. We ask that you give us stamina to match the work you give us. Many of us have tasks that seem too difficult and last too long! Help us to steadily, firmly P_U_S_H on the jobs you assign. Lord, we praise you for the media attention you have drawn to yourself through the Star. It amazes us. And it delights us that people of all persuastions are hearing your Gospel freshly in the sky. Continue to speak, Beautiful One! Grow your kingdom with your celestial poetry! We pray it in the name of Jesus, amen."
