Re: what?

I live in the city of Newport, but it's not always been that way.

I'm not referring to any locational changes on my part but a definition shifting on Newport's. This is because Newport used to be a 'town' [by definition] until recent years when it was suddenly elevated to 'city' status.
Part of this shift to 'city status' has been numerous redevelopment projects all across the city. Wherever you go it seems like there are some large building site hidden boards portraying images of dynamic and vibrant Newport under the tagline of 'Redevelopment' or 'Re this' or 'Re that.'

On Sunday the team that were praying for our morning meeting at Bethel felt the Holy Spirit direct them in praying for 'release' and 'renewal'. By the end of the meeting they had prayed over 80 other 're somethings'! When I read the list I was awestruck and so for a while I want to use them as a springboard for these daily thoughts.
