Parson's Porch & Company

Parson's Porch & Book Publishing is a book publishing company with a double focus.  We focus on the needs of creative writers who need a professional publisher to turn their words into books, & we also focus on the needs of others by turning their books into bread by sharing our profits with those who are homeless and displaced by meeting their basic needs of food, clothing, shelter and safety.

This book  is a collection of devotionals written mostly early in the morning.  As such, there is a page or two out of order, incorrectly-numbered or not particularly well-thought out.  I have purposely left them that way because life at 5am is not particularly well-ordered or organized, and this is my devotional life, un-edited! 

These reflections began because my devotional life was disorganized and sporadic.  In May I began to write these daily for those who receive the Pastor’s Points weekly sermons.  I selfishly thought that if I made myself accountable to that group, it would somehow force me to be more committed to the kind of discipleship I preach about (you know where I’m heading with this).

I was wrong.

This devotional writing didn’t “force” anything on me.  While it could have made just another obligation on the calendar, instead, I found myself more drawn than ever to the beauty of God’s Word, and the efficacy of how that Word will grow in me as I grow closer to God.  In other words, as I attempted to be Pastoral towards those who find reading these devotions helpful, I have been helped immeasurably.  How about that?  I was trying to be an obedient Pastor, and wound up getting the biggest blessing!
