All in Resources
Connecting your CMDA Student Chapter with a Healthcare Missionary
Given adequate lead time, CAHM can usually facilitate an in-person visit from a missionary colleague to your CMDA chapter meeting at no cost to your group.
On Failure and Beauty
Please join me in taking a few minutes first to thank the Lord for His work over the past 12 months and then to offer next 12 months to the Lord. Remind yourself that you are entrusting the next 12 months to the Lord not only in word, but also with head, heart, hands and habits.
You Need Rest
When did you last “remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy” by focusing a 24-hour period upon finding rest in and worshipping the Lord?

"Friendships will make or break your life. " - Justin Whitmel Earley, author of The Common Rule: Creating Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction

Resisting the “Siren Song” of the Smartphone

Life Happens at the Table
I pray that today's challenge to identify one's center of gravity compels one to add eating at least one meal a day with others to "the trellis."
Habits Always Frame Our Day
“…Building the trellis of habit is a way to acknowledge the good ways God designed us as well as the ways the fall has broken us…This begins with framing our days in love, and that begins with the words of prayer." - Justin Whitmel Earley, The Common Rule: Creating Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction.
Our Habits Form Us
“Your mission might stand for one thing, but your habits might stand for something entirely different. Usually your habits win…Our habits form us. They form our identities, they form our loves, and thus they form our whole lives." - Justin Whitmel Earley
Creating Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction
"You've heard of Spiritual Disciplines and you've dismissed them because 'normal' people don't have time for that! The Common Rule by mergers and acquisitions lawyer Justin Whitmel Earley offers a contemporary rule of life-practical, relevant, transformative for different walks of life. Learn daily and weekly habits in ways that you never have before."
A Season of Prayer and Innovation
The combination of Lent and Innovate: CMDA Northeast Launch 2021 (2/20, 9 a.m.) led me to update the CMDA Northeast Regional map to a prayer map and begin a daily social media series of songs.
