Why Now Is The Time For New Patterns

Your calendar reflects your priorities.
Your treasure reveals your heart.
Your schedule shows what you value.

Five months of crisis have blown up our old schedules, habits, and patterns.  We have an opportunity to start over.  Set a new path.  Build a structure that reinforces what is most important.  

The soil is tilled and turned over.  It's ready for planting.  Will you plant seeds or weeds?  

Personally, I've been using a "daily pattern" to center myself on God and his word each day.  It's not rocket science.  It's not a new liturgy, but drawn from Christians gone before me.  As a church, we're looking to start new daily patterns like  this in the fall.  

Would you help me?  GO HERE to see a week of the "Daily Pattern."   It's a short order for daily devotion and prayer.  It's simple.  It's adaptable.  It can be used individually or in a group. 

Try it for a week.  Let me know what you think and if it helps you set a daily pattern in the middle of disruption.

I really like the format, and the fact that it is both relatively short (which eliminates, or at least minimizes, my temptation to say that I don't have time in the morning before leaving for work!)

I do find it difficult to see/read though - the font seems very light, and "thin" if that makes sense? Enlarging it on the screen does help, but I still struggle a bit to see it. As I'm typing this though, I just realized that I bet I could try cutting and pasting it into a new document, changing up the font, and saving that, rather than accessing it directly from the blog.....so I'm going to try that next.

Thank you for providing this great resource to help us all establish better morning devotional routines.
