Words from a Watchman

I have been a student of Clay McLean's for many years and consider him a spiritual mentor.  He and his wife, Mary, have a pastoral care ministry out of Hickory, NC.  Clay sends out a monthly newsletter and a podcast (which you are invited to subscribe to), and I wanted to share the November and December 2011 podcasts with my circle of family and friends because I believe we are in a critical time in our lives as individuals and as a nation.

Please set aside some time to listen to each of the messages, starting with the November 2011.  Each message is approximately 1 hour in length, so try to set aside an hour each time so you can get the full impact of each message without interruption.

I do not want to be in a "stupor"!  I have heard various people say lately that God is preparing for the third Great Awakening in our nation, and I want to be ready for Him!  We are long overdue, as a church, as the Body of Christ, as individuals and as a nation!

I want my family and friends to join me however we can, either via email, or facebook, or phone, or local gatherings, to communicate with each other on a regular basis and prepare for whatever is coming our way.

Each one of us, as Clay says in his December message, can form little "circles of compassion" around our families and friends, and extend those circles of compassion to those who are on the outside but desperately need to be secured and protected and made aware of what is coming!

So, here goes:  I hope you are up to the challenge!  The first challenge, of course, is to set aside an hour of uninterrupted time to listen to the November message, and if you're like me, you will want to listen to the December message as soon as you get through with November!  You will not be disappointed!  This is not a Chicken Little, "the sky is falling" word - this is one of those "truly, truly" words!  (Although I personally believe that the sky is falling, in more ways than one!)



Love you all - let's talk!
