Prayer & Praise
Keep your Church, O Lord, by your perpetual mercy; and because without you the frailty of our nature causes us to fall, keep us from all things hurtful, and lead us to all things profitable for our salvation; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

j2theperson – There’s a guy who is, wrongly, accusing our church of gross financial mismanagement if not outright illegality.

Please pray he does not cause serious damage to our congregation, that people will recognise him for what he is, and that we will come out stronger for having gone through this.
Captain Kevin – Please pray for my oldest daughter. She is separated from her husband. This is probably the 3rd time in the 3 years they’ve been married. I’m not sure who is more at fault or if there is any abuse, so I just pray for God’s will. They are believers, I think.

Thanking God, the house and grounds are untouched and we are back – the hills surrounding our narrow valley are black and there are smoldering patches on them where big trees are still burning.
I will share an event – answered prayer? You decide…
Friday nite about 9:30, a half mile down river the valley floor caught fire and we were having one of our evening strong winds 20 mph + gusts… There was no way the converging firefighters would put it out in that strong wind!
A recipe for a conflagration California style…. My daughter grabbed her camera and went down there and i stood alone in the dark in the front yard praying… An old hymn came out of my mouth, “The winds and the waves shall obey My will, peace be still……” The wind stopped dead like someone had pulled the plug on a fan? An answered prayer? Well i thanked God, but i don’t usually experience such an obvious Divine intervention, . … but i thanked God. ?
Thanking God with you Em.
Thankful, Em…that’s a great outcome. Joining in praising God with you and Dusty.
It’s been awhile since I’ve checked in here. My dad passed away and he was laid to rest this past Saturday. The Marines played Taps and it was a beautiful service and tribute. A year and a half ago, my mom passed so the past couple years have been busy tending to ailing parents across the miles. Thankful both knew the Lord and enjoying their new home in heaven.
I will be visiting this sweet PP community more often again and joining in prayer as prayers are posted. Thank you Dusty for keeping up with this thread and the requests.
Btw, I like the new blog layout. I had to take a double look to make sure I had the correct blog!
