Welcome to the November 23, 2007 edition of standing in the gap. I’m so sorry that this is so late! I’ve taken steps to make sure that I’m better alerted to when carnivals are coming up so I should be better in the future.
Ravi Vora presents Big Dreams: Chapter 1 posted at Ravi Vora.
Balanced Life Center presents The 7 Keys to Happiness posted at Balanced Life Center.
Nancy Geiger presents Youth Service about Being God’s Hands and Feet posted at What I Learned Teaching Sunday School.
Mike Lazear presents The Death of Intimacy posted at The Great Office Escape, saying, “First came the cell phone. Then the text message. Then social networking websites… are we overconnecting ourselves to the point where we can no longer connect?”
Culture
Tupelo Kenyon presents Listen with Your Heart posted at Tupelo Kenyon, saying, “When someone is talking to you, do you hear with your ears, monitor with your mind, or listen with your heart? Invest a few minutes thinking about the importance of listening well – a deliberate conscious act – and watch your relationships grow to a new level of closeness and understanding.

Tupelo Kenyon presents What God Wants posted at Tupelo Kenyon, saying, “What if the earth’s major belief systems, religions and cultures are based on an inaccurate assumption? What if the fundamental idea, upon which everything else is based . . . is simply incorrect? We have been trying to “fix” the effects of this error for centuries . . . millennia. This life-changing book asks a pivotal question in the spiritual journey of mankind: “What does God Want?” This simple, yet profound question implies another: “Are we spiritually mature enough to hear the answer?” .

Anne K presents How Do you Turn the World Upside Down? posted at The Meaning of Life.
Tupelo Kenyon presents Inspire Yourself on Purpose – Inspiration from Inside Out posted at Tupelo Kenyon, saying, “Here are twelve common sense reminders on how to inspire yourself. The word “inspire” derives from root words that mean “in spirit” or “spirit within.” Although there’s always another step to take, these points are a natural result of recognizing and identifying with this realization of who we really are.

Family
Kathryn Lang presents Being a Good Wife Means Accepting Your Limits posted at The Peculiar Club, saying, “Try as I might, I just haven’t figured out how to control my husband.”
Matthew Spears presents Joy at All Times posted at Loving Awareness, saying, “We tend to think of joy as somehow mutually exclusive to other experiences. If we’re feeling sad, then of course it’s impossible to have joy. Likewise if we’re having a fight or our business is having a downturn. This article points out how they’re not exclusive, and helps the invitation of joy into your life.”
Wenchypoo presents Meet “Epi”—the Ghost in Your Genes posted at Wisdom From Wenchypoo’s Mental Wastebasket.

Matthew Spears presents That childlike state, and Love. posted at Loving Awareness, saying, “There is so much we can learn from children. Most of us are disconnected from that childlike quality inside ourselves, that innocent state of joyful wonder that makes love for children so natural. And yet, it is available to us at all times, and an absolutely essential part of happiness and love. The article goes through qualities of a child we can learn to bring into our own life.”
Jenny presents Choosing Religion posted at the so called me.
Pornographic Lifestyle
Michael McGinnis presents Pornography: the new minstrel show posted at Tantalizing if True, saying, “Is pornography more innocent than racism?”
