Like most of you, our office staff was attentive at the television yesterday at noon as we witnessed the historic inauguration of President Obama. Also, I’m sure like many of you we then took some time to pray for our President and his administration.
C.J. Mahaney, President of Sovereign Grace Ministries
had a similar opportunity during a time with John Piper, Al Mohler, Mark Dever, Ligon Duncan, and Thabiti Anyabwile. He writes about that time here. He also commends an excellent model for prayer for President Obama given by Al Mohler. It’s worth reflecting on and emmulating. You can find Dr. Mohler’s prayer here.
Please continue to keep our new President and our nation in your prayers.

Today we celebrated 5 January staff Birthdays with a pizza lunch. Matthew (he turned 19 on Wednesday!) received his own veggie pie, though something possessed Doug to also try a slice.
registration for our revive conference as a volunteer. Now that she has her working papers and is allowed to receive a paycheck, she has moved into the role of my assistant. This means she helps me coordinate all details of our regional conferences (like last year’s youthcamp and couples conference and 2009’s upcoming Men’s Conference), for which I am most grateful! She also has a primary role working with ongoing projects like our bulletins, website, and blog. Thanks Riette, for throwing yourself into your work to serve us both as a volunteer and now as paid staff! -Aaron
