160. Finding the Face of God in the Storm

<p><strong>Out of the Ordinary Winter Reflections:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Where's Jesus on the days when it seems He has fallen asleep in the storm?  Jesus was asleep on the boat because he wasn't afraid of the waves.</li> <li>Let's lean into our dear friendships when it gets hard instead of leaning out. Especially now.  Especially after this year. </li> <li>Can you be "prayer in action" in this season for someone?  Jesus didn't just talk about rescuing, He did it. </li> <li>Look for the face of God this week.  He's there in the ordinary moments and in the faces around you.</li> <li>Lisa-Jo is reading from "My Faith Leaks" from <a href= "https://bookshop.org/books/the-middle-matters-why-that-extra-ordinary-life-looks-really-good-on-you/9780525652847"> The Middle Matters</a> by Lisa-Jo Baker. </li> <li>Christie's is reading from "Writing a Sermon, December 23" by Mary F.
