Links on prayer and worship

Normally I publish this sort of thing at lingalinga but there are a number of very good posts that I noticed this morning that are worth sharing. Also, did you notice that the “Blogs I Watch” blogroll in the sidebar grew overnight? Are you on there? Let me know if I left anyone out.

• BENIN: Praying for the Aja People (2nd of 4): The Vaughn’s publish their second installment on praying for the Aja in Benin.
• What Do You Do When God Answers Your Prayer?: Michael Spencer, the Internet Monk is right on about prayer.
• My Psalm of Lament: A modern psalmist cries out to God in Elizabethan-laced English. Awesome.
• Well, Duh.: [rhymes with kerouac] is quotable:

I’m looking for something else in a church. I’m looking for a place where a community of believers can grapple with scripture, can wrestle with what it means to be a Christ-follower in this sin-wracked, broken world of ours. I’m looking for a place where it’s all right to doubt, to worry, to fear, to celebrate, to dance and to sing – or not sing; where prayer is what we do, and not what we listen to someone else doing, where art is shared, where contemplation is possible, where worship is lived, where healing happens. I guess I’m really looking for a place where all the odd people like me who don’t fit anywhere else can be welcome and loved
