Doing a New Thing

 

Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.  Behold, I am doing a new thing; not it springs forth, do you not perceive it? ~Isaiah 43:18-19

Happy New Year!  Welcome back, faithful friends, to Meditations of My Heart.  My prayer is that we well all grow closer to the Lord as we embark on yet another year together, seeking His truth and leaning on His promises.

Many of you who read my blog also follow the delightful writer and blogger, Victor Moubarak, who posts regularly at Time for Reflections.  Victor pens Christian-themed posts as well as some that showcase his unique, God-threw-the-mold-away sense of humor.  He has also published a plethora of books that I encourage you to check out on Amazon.  On a personal note, my favorite character in his novels is Fr. Ignatius, a loveable Catholic priest who selflessly serves his parishioners living in an economically-challenged town in Northern England.  The dilemmas and predicaments Fr. Ignatius faces in his role as shepherd of his flock are memorable, enlightening and sometimes even downright dangerous.

This year, I'm happy to announce, Victor is doing a new thing!  He has created a forum entitled The Christian Lounge which has just been launched.  The stand-out feature of this blog is that not only are you invited to read and comment upon the entries posted there, but may also submit your own short articles (500 words or less) on what living the Christian life means to you.  As Victor states, you can write about anything on Faith, Trust, Beliefs, Worries, Fears, Sin, Forgiveness, Marriage, Divorce, Heaven Hell . . . the list is endless.

He further notes that you can ask relatives, friends or even your pastor to submit articles, but be sure to include the name of the person so credit can be rightfully given.  All denominations are welcome to join in the sharing of your thoughts about how Christianity has both changed and enhanced your life.

Interested?  Simply email Victor at enquiries@holyvisions.co.uk and make sure to include your email address so he can get in touch with you.  Another perk?  Joining the group costs nothing!  How's that for a good deal?

I would add, too, that since I'm not on social media and many of you are, please take a moment to share this blog with your friends on Facebook, X and Instagram.  And if you do choose to join The Christian Lounge, feel free to promote that website, too.

Victor sincerely hopes that you will Come and join this adventure of spreading God's Word together as a community in order to honor and serve Him.

Amen!
