PRAYER #34 - REALITY CHECK

I am driving in my car, talking on my new iPhone, listening to Sirius Satellite Radio, sipping on a latte from Starbucks, looking for a parking spot at Target so that I can return my son's light saber for the Nintendo Wii.

I like to park far away from all the other cars. So, I am pulling into the last row of the parking lot and I see this:




I am fortunate that I have God in my life and I don't have to sleep in a parking lot, beg for food, or use my only earthly belongings as my pillow rest. I also love when God puts things into perspective for me.

I am now putting things into perspective for you. If you are reading this blog then you are richer than 95% of the people in this world. That's all I am going to say. You can tell yourself the rest.

Please pray for this person on the ground. You don't need a name. God knows who this is.

PRAYER #33 - NEWBORN BABY

Theresa (Anaheim, CA, USA) -

Could you please put a prayer request in for two week old Jacob, newborn son of Anna and Jeremy.

Jacob was born with a very serious problem with his intestines and had to have surgery to remove part and reroute parts of his intestines.

We need everyone to pray for this tiny guy and his parents.

(We apologize to Theresa. We received this prayer request on 8/24/08 and for some reason the post didn't get put up. Please forgive us. We are praying for the family now.)
