The Shar

a Biblical thought...
Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. "Abba, Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will." (Mark 14:35-36)

a Book thought...
Raising children who have been loaned to us for a brief moment outranks every other responsibility. Besides, living by that priority when kids are small will produce the greatest rewards at maturity. (p199)

a Dave thought...
Yesterday at Rev Camp in the Eastern Victoria Division we had a special guest via Skype. DY Envoy Grant Whitehead who specialises in all things technical arranged Captain Shar Davis from NZ to be live on the big screen. It was inspiring to hear her passion for God and her wise words about life. Shar challenged us to be thermostats rather than thermometers, meaning we need to set the culture rather than being impacted by it. Shar also expressed her thoughts on women in ministry. She used this comical clip above to illustrate just how ridiculous women are treated on occasions. Shar's dream is to see the Army once again be filled with passionate women in ministry. I like Shar believe that if women officers are called and gifted to be in major leadership positions I pray that their gender or the fact that they are married will not deny them these appointments.

Just a thought.
