Listening to my youngest playing cards with his granny... my big one is upstairs doing homework... hubby is out of town... although, I wish he were home I know he is safe and sound and his travel today was ok. Life is pretty darn good. I can't think of any emergencies or trauma's happening right now. I'll take it every time. Seems like the last decade was filled with loss and heartbreak and the last few years we have had a break from calamity. Will it come again? I'm sure it will, but right now, life is good. Thank you God for answered prayers, mercy and grace that are new everyday and the certainty that You are, in fact, in charge!

Listening To a Friend

It's been a long time since I started this blog. So many times I've signed in and not written all that was swirling in my head... Lately, I have been listening to my friend speak. She doesn't know how often I check in with her. She communicates with a blog, and I check in everyday to see how she is. Her life has come to some very unexpected turns lately. I have been aware for a while that "something" was going on but not sure what. Little hints dropped here and there but never any detail. Then the email came with the specifics. Part of me wanted to run to her rescue, but really, she doesn't need to be rescued. She is so amazingly strong and brave. I marvel at her. We live in different towns, and with that means we don't get all the little details of each other's lives. We get the big news, when it happens and miss all the the stuff that leads up to it. I love her blog, so I can some of the details Imiss on a daily basis.She blesses me. TLP you inspire me. I may, yet, start writing all the thoughts swirling in my head...

Stand in the Gap

We have finished week one with our new president. He has already made big changes to our country. Within week one he has begun to use fedral tax money to fund abortions overseas and is in the future likely to sign a new bill that will undo every law we have protecting unborn children. Please stand with me to pray for this man, that God would soften his heart and he would hear God's voice. Not just on this issue but on all issues. We must stand in the gap for our country. We must not fall into the trap of treating him as President Bush was treated. We must urge our senators and congressmen to fight against his agenda and to stand firm, and we must support them in prayer. Our country is in great danger of losing our blessing from God and of losing the essence of what makes our country great. Join in me in Standing in the Gap.

Ez 22:30 I looked for aman among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I wouldn not have to destroy it, but I found none.

Please let Him find us "standing in the gap". Pray for our country and our leaders.
