A brief interlude from nothing while I continue ploughing through my Google Reader items to catch up on all the blogs I missed while away before I update my own.
I highly recommend these sessions from Steve Said about the Kingdom of God. I was present for some of these particular recordings and I’ve heard him talk on it before, good stuff. Have a listen.
Another video for you to watch today. It think I’ll let it speak for itself.

“Prayer is the answer to every problem in life. We call on God to intervene in the lives of the selfish, greedy people who are keeping these prices high,” Twyman said on the forecourt of the petrol station in a neighbourhood of Washington that, like many of its residents, has seen better days.
“Lord, the prices at this pump have gone up since last week. We know that you are able, that you have all the power in the world,” he prayed, before former beauty queen Rashida Jolley led the group in a modified version of the spiritual, We Shall Overcome.
“We’ll have lower gas prices, we’ll have lower gas prices,” they sang.
At the weekend, Twyman had led a group of around 200 people in prayer at pumps in San Francisco, where petrol is nearing $US4 a gallon (3.8 litres).
