And what you do simply proves what you believe”  ― Simon Sinek, Start with Why That’s a secular book that has nothing to do with our discussion of preparing for Christmas. Or…does it? We’re praying about our motivations this morning. Weekly Prayer Focus & Today’s Verses Worship:  Psalm 113:3 Prayer: Proverbs 16:2, Jeremiah 17:10, and 1 Chronicles 8:9 My evening Facebook posts focus on praying scripture.
