Amen

• God, please grant me . . . , in Jesus name, Amen.
• God, please care for . . . , Amen.
• Jesus, heal . . . , Amen.
• Jesus, I'm so tired . . . , Amen.

I was taught as a child that this word means, "So be it".

A guest speaker was introduced a while back when I was 'interviewing' churches. Beth Guckenberger lives in Cincinnati and is Co-Executive Director of Back2Back Ministries.  She is also an author and was speaking about this very familiar word.

Her newest book is called Start with Amen.  Although I've thought of buying this book many times, I have not.  Feeling a bit guilty about this, I will be going back to Amazon one of these days, hopefully soon.
