All the money was stolen out of the change tray of my car – just under $2.

No, wait – the thief left a penny.

What I’m wondering is: why leave a penny? I mean, if $1.62 (or so) is so important to you that you have to steal it, why leave a penny? Some last vestige of conscience? Some gesture of Robin Hood nobility? Seed money?

Anyway, it’s spring time, and next week is Spring Break. The flowers are blooming and the leaves are budding, and I’m looking forward to hiking some next week while everyone’s gone.

A few weeks ago, my reports circulated that Asbury College (my alma mater) was experiencing revival. Press releases from the institution credited it to the House of Prayer established on the campus, citing student committments to “more than 40 hours of prayer each week” I was really excited to hear about that, since that’s the kind of prayer we’re trying to establish here on this campus. I sent an email to some friends of mine that still live in that area, and they corrected the reports – the House of Prayer there is going 3-6 hours a week. Even though they have more students, we’re doing more praying!

Moreover, what the press reports didn’t say was that the revival began when a student testified in chapel about his experience at the OneThing conference in Kansas City – the place I was involved with and that started the 24-7 House of Prayer movement in the U.S.!
