a prayer

I met a wonderful woman on one of my recent flights. She is elderly, classy, and incredibly sharp. She was part of the Reagan administration, along with an impressive list of involvements and achievements. I am happy to have been added to her mailing list, and here's the latest. I simply needed to post it.














Father, right now we acknowledge You & we acknowledge Your presence &
Your sovereignty. Father we lift up
Virginia Tech & the people
affected
by the evil that has taken place on the campus. We pray that Your
Spirit
> be with them. We pray that Your loving arms be wrapped around them &
> comfort them in this tragic time. We pray for families, neighbors, &
> friends. We pray for staff, professors, & administrators. God, we
pray
> for people. We pray for humanity. We pray that this event will not
cause
> people to turn from You but it will cause a nation to run to You like
> they have never run before. We pray for increased faith. We pray for
> spiritual growth. We pray for Christian fellowship & salvation of
souls.
> We pray that your hand will move mightily over
Blacksburg, VA & over
> this nation. Touch souls right now & comfort broken hearts. Forgive
us
> for our sins Father. In Your Son Jesus Christ name we pray. Amen.

Purpose


“On the third day of the fast, Esther put on her royal robes and entered the inner court of the palace,

just across from the king’s hall.

The king was sitting on his royal throne, facing the entrance.

When he saw Queen Esther standing there in the inner court,

he welcomed her and held out the gold scepter to her.

So Esther approached and touched the end of the scepter.

Then the king asked her, “What do you want, Queen Esther?

What is your request?

I will give it to you, even if it is half the kingdom!”

~ Esther 5:1-3 [New Living Translation] ~

Do you know your purpose?

Two of the most important people that entered my life in Boulder CO have some amazing pics to share. Alina is living in Romania with her beau, teaching English and loving on orphans there. Jen was able to visit.

Below:
- Romanian countryside
- Jen and Alina
- a Dutch Festival - their version of mardi gras, so I've heard =)
