It's early a.m. (Well, actually it's 8:40 a.m. and some call that early!) I was thinking about writing my prayers online this morning and sharing with you.

Then a steady stream of instruction came through and I'm scrambling to remember it all. And, I'm like, "Wait God!! I don't have anything to write down with and You know how bad my memory is!"

So, now I'm writing down what God said before I forget it!

I'm designing our Water's Edge website and it's been more than challenging. The hugest part of the issue has been that I've been playing both designer and wordsmith. I've got a good design. But I figured out yesterday that I couldn't keep going down that road because the design is taking more time (too much time) and where my attention needs to be is on the words and images that, hopefully, move people to join with Jesus in life!

So, I just hired a guy who I think will do a fabulous job. After much angst, by the way, I've decided to use Wordpress as our CMS on this site with that consultant's input.

But I digress.What did God say?

Here's the way the dialogue went. (And honestly, I was minding my own business and just thinking ... until God butted in. LOL)

"I should be writing reflections on a weekly basis. What would I write about? People have been asking me if I'm journaling. And I have been - but sporadically. If it's on my new site, both "committed Christians" and "uncommitted Christians" or unbelievers will see it. Should I just call it "weekly reflections." That doesn't sound very interesting to me, and I bet it won't to others."

God: "You should call it Reflections on the Water."

"Oh, okay. Hey, wait a minute . . . That's R.O.W. and that's a great image - rowing on the water, rowing for God, getting out there. Rowing with people. Rowing for people . . ."

God did not say this, but I imagine He then said, "Eeeschh. These people are so slow."

Here's what He did say next. "Yes. And you are to write these parts in each week's post - Something Funny. Something Interesting. Something True. Deeper."

"Whoa. That's way cool God. Wait! I don't have a pencil to write this down."

"Yeah, but you're starting an update article on this ministry with Me. Type it in."

"Oh, yeah . . . " (Did I ever feel dumb. But blessed . . .)

And it hit me that God really does care about every little detail. And that God really, really does care about using the internet for ministry.  Like I said. I'm slow.
