Father God, I am humbled by your holiness. I am in awe by who You are. I feel so unworthy to even call upon You this day. My heart bows at Your presence. Jesus cleanse my words with Your blood.

Gracious God I praise You for the wonderful weather You have give me this day. I praise you for the young men I met today. I thank you for getting to see Peter again today. May You be real all of these young men's lives. I praise You for all that You do for us. I thank You for Angie and all that she does for our family. I would ask that You would give her body the energy and strength it needs to allow baby barnacle to grow. I hope and pray that this pregnancy will go well. Help the boys to sleep well tonight and to have a great time with the Hedges and Reeds this weekend.

I thank you for each one of the students You have allowed me to meet. I especially ask for wisdom, guidance, reconciliation and strength for the parents of the teens. For each of the college students I would ask that you lead them to closer relationships with You. For all of the students I would ask that You make them incredibly bright lights for You on their campuses.

Give peace to those students who need it. Give Kelly the wisdom he needs for the message this week. Prepare our hearts for worship. Guide Josh as he leads us. Open the our hearts as we go to Axiom. May we be totally open to what You have in store for us.

In Christ Name I come before You tonight.
A Quick Update....

Some people have made the comment that I must not be praying much since it has been so long since I have posted anything. That is not the case. I simply have not felt the need to share some of my prayers of late. They have been intensely personal, especially about others and I just felt it best to not share all of those thoughts.

I praise You in this storm. I praise You for this rain. May this all bring Your glory.

Use the rain to cleanse me. Clean up issues which are many. Remove the unnecessary junk from my life. Prune off all the excess. Prepare my heart for the new growth. Help me to feel you carrying me. Move the knowledge in my head into something that is real and tangible. I desire to have a personal revival. I desire so many things. May my desires and thoughts truly be Yours. May I remember that You are not necessarily slow to act so much as it is that You are patient. Thank you for bringing this rain upon my life. I desire to grow from it. Grow me!

Thank you for the rain in my family. Heal the pain and suffering. Provide the wisdom to raise our boys. Show us hoe they are different and unique. Show us what this means in raising them.

May You bring the rain upon MJSHS. Use Your children there to do great things in Your name. Use Your church to impact the lives of the students, teachers, staff and administration there. Break the campus. Break the people. Tear down the fear. Tear down the walls. Tear it all down. Use students to reach teachers. Use teachers to reach students. No fear

What am I to be doing?

Bring rain upon WIU. Raise up your children to stand for you. NO FEAR!

Whom shall we fear?????????None!!!!
