"MORNING MEDICATIONS"; GOD'S MINUTE PARAPHRASED

INTRODUCTION "You will find that meditation can result in inspiration, aspiration, motivation - even medication!" - Louis O. Caldwell, "Good Morning, Lord; Devotions for College Students, 1971; Baker Books "God's Minute" is a well-worn devotion book that's been in my family about 100 years. It was written by 360-some pastors who were educated in the 1800s. Their style of poetic prose and depth of spirituality would embarrass some of today's seminaries. I began gleaning nuggets from the day's prayer, condensing them to two lines, and posting them on Facebook as "Morning Medications" (that was before I came across the Caldwell quote), so that's how this little book evolved. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go and likewise share your favorites. If you contacted nine people, and they contacted nine different people, and this continued for just ten days, you could reach half the population of the world, President Reagan used to say. America's First Great Awakening was in the 1700s and it prepared the way for our Independence; the 2nd one in yhe 1800s saved the Union and freed the slaves. I hope to live to see the start of a Third Great Awakening to save America and/or "prepare the way of the Lord." Part 1 tells why we need such an Awakening.
