Hey,
Thanks for joining our Prayer Team!
The best gift anyone can give to another is to pray for him or her. We live in a sinful world where bad things happen to people and people are tempted to sin. Praying for another person not only helps that person find God in the midst of trouble, but also helps us recognize the blessings that God gives us daily!
When there's anything you would like us to pray for, post a topic on our Prayer Team group, or send us a message. We would like to encourage you to pray for others. If you have any questions about Prayer, please let us know.
Be Blessed,
Prayer Team |

A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with
me? The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'.
They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together.
One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman
together.' To which, his father said 'Yes'.
Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three
endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed
by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile(42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island.
Father and son went on to complete the race together.

I am so grateful to your grandson for his service to protect my freedoms! When it comes to reading, I don't like, I love, as Timon says! However, I have accumulated about 2,000 books to be read, so I have to avoid reading too many descriptors of books I am waiting to read, because I don't want to give away any secrets. I visit your blog at least once a week, but I have to skip a lot of the interview contents. I have almost every book you ever wrote so far. I also either own or have pre-ordered every book I think would interest me, or my book buyers. I hope this comment means that you are one of my friends. You are nowhere near old enough to be my Mom, but you definitely remind me of her in the countenance. I appreciate that. Have a day of blessings!
