Abbi, what a great post. The business administrator at our church is during of a degenerative lung disease and has less than 10% of his lung capacity left, but he still comes into the office and amazes me with his passion and commitment to seeing others experience what Christ has done in his life; even if that means passing on the job. It was the great hymn writer Issac Watts who wrote, “Blessed Is the Man Whose Bowels Move.” Your post reminded me of the joys I receive in my ministry and the weirdest hymn title I have come across so far. It was good to hear from you. Bless God.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all reach out with such simple words and show such an amazing LOVE as is God’s. He is love within us. I am thankful for the time that you had with your amazing friend Abbi and know that although you miss her you are greatly comforted by the Love that she gave.

Wow. Thank you all for your kind words and for letting me share my sweet friend Katie’s words with you.

Anna: Back at you, sister! :)
Jenn & Phil: Amen!
Robin: Thanks for listening and loving me through all the tears.

Joseph: Wow, thank you! I pray this prose continues to inspire you. (Feel free to share it!) Although God is big and mighty, I believe He is also in the simple things: a child’s laugh, a soft breeze, the first blooms of spring. There might be a sermon in there somewhere! :)

Craig,this is my favorite of all your guest blogs! The reason is simple really. As a pastor I struggle constantly with trying to make sure that people “get it” and learn how to express their love for God in the simplest of ways. Not everyone is given to exuberant and loud praise (as good as that is), and not everyone is an incredibly powerful “prayer warrior” (as significant as that is).

So, in the simplest of expressions we find praise!! I loved the depiction of being turned inside out and there would be marching bands, fat ladies in polka dots and all of the amazing descriptive expressions of her passion for God. Thanks for having Abbi guest blog for you, and Abbi thanks for posting this.
