2012 Prayer

"My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, assuming that I will somehow reach the resurrection from among the dead. Not that I have already reached the goal or am already fully mature, but I make ever effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus." Philippians 3: 10-12

Government--God's Servant


My heart is heavy this week regarding the future of our country.  I am not one of those people who knows everything about everything regarding our government.  However, I do try to keep up-to-date with some of the hot topics.  E-mail notices from sources like Citizen Link, OneNewsNow, Vision to America, and several others come to my inbox on a regular basis.  Do I read them all?  No, but I do try to glance or at least give a cursory read to the highlights so that I can pretend to be intelligible when speaking to others about the state of our nation.

We are weak, but God is God


Question: What do storms, chickens, wood chips, and tree trucks have in common?

Answer: We are weak!!

Tuesday Afternoon: Busy on the back porch planting peppers, herbs, and peas into egg cartons, Peter came scurrying in from gathering eggs extremely disturbed.  With tears beginning to form in his eyes, he mumbled something about the chickens being locked out, trapped, and stuck.  Seeing his demeanor was not typical for him, this mother dropped what she was doing and quickly headed to the chicken coop with him.  Approaching the chicken coop, my eyes fell on three chickens  stacked one on top of another within a small 4 ½ to 5 in gap between our side fence and the coop. 

Dead.
