I have been practicing MAGIC again!!
I have lately found myself struggling with focus, and praying to God about what is wrong. So I became
reminded AGAIN that I don’t pray like prayer matters. I fit it in my day like an exclamation point after
the fact rather than starting my day acknowledging I need God before anything else. I need his help,
I need his care, and he should not be just fit in. He is not a spare tire for when life blows up or goes
flat.. and so I should not treat him as such.

More important than I need his help I realize again I need a relationship with God. Something more
personal then checking in. I need to be active about pursuing God, to love God in a way that is
beyond a Christian cliché. To realize who God is, as best I can… and I will not realize much if I
don’t do more than just fit him in.

So, this morning, I practiced what has become to be known in the Larson family as MAGIC, MAGIC
is a joke name for the change in my perspective on life when I start my day with prayer. My day is
faced with the same issues it is every day, but there is a shift in how I look at life. More peaceful..
it is like MAGIC.

Of course Christians don’t have magic, but we have something though spiritual is as real as anything
physical in this world… and more important. We have God’s love and spirit which should never be
reduced to a feeling.. but is always POWER. If you don’t believe me, then if you believe the Bible
remember Gethsemane.

So may God bless each of our days, our walks, our struggles with the TRUMP CARD in a winning
hand which is God’s power. Ok, there I’ve done it, I have talked MAGIC and CARDS in the same
email. Let’s now gather the elders so that I can be stoned in the public square. LOL

Blessings

Jeff
