Ministering to Addicted Persons

When we work in a ministry to addicted persons, homeless or not, we take up our crosses by being available to and suffering with those we seek to reach. Bearing the cross for addicted persons means holding them accountable for their actions. It also means that we are not totally responsible for their recovery. At the same time that we are ministering to their needs, it is vital that we consider the risk to us and our own vulnerability. For the rest of this article, click here.

Boardman's Thanksgiving

Phil sent this to me:

Public prayer meetings were held in Philadelphia on January 1, 1863, to celebrate the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. The Senior Minister of Philadelphia's Tenth Presbyterian Church -- Henry Augustus Boardman -- rejoiced that "slavery might pass away, through the baptism of blood and fire" and "thanked God that might no more should make right."

Mice Templar Online

Hey all,

THE MICE TEMPLAR comic series that I write and co-created with Mike Oeming goes online Monday, 3/3 as a daily strip at Newsarama.com:

http://hiddenrobot.com/MTDAILY/

Each day, Monday through Friday, a new page of the series goes online (with back pages achived as each new page appears). This creates a fascinating way to learn what the Mice Templar is all about in a daily format, just like the comic strips with ongoing storylines you read in the daily newspaper.

The Daily Mice Templar will also contain many surprises, as we've had the opportunity to address several of the unexpected storytelling concerns that were hampered by the deadlines of our production schedule. So even if you have already read the individual issues, the daily strip provides an even more satisfying adventure!

Bryan, Mike, Wil, Jim & Tim are really excited by this new feature that truly compliments the ongoing published series, and should attract more new fans as well (perhaps even you!) ;)

Exciting Daily Adventures of The Mice Templar are only a mouse click away!

-Bryan and the rest of the Mice Templar team!
