From the very beginning I have asked that prayers be poured out for M and the response blossomed. We have had prayers in Azerbaijan, Sri Lanka, and all over the U.S. Most sweetly, many are from friends of friends, or relatives of our children's teachers, or M's colleagues in a case he had years ago in Missouri, and so on. One of M's clients had a mass held for him. Another friend had a prayer sent to the western wall (wailing wall) of the Temple in Jerusalem.
At our church now, we have the three M's, I'm told. There's my dh, and also Mike H. who is battling melanoma and is in the midst of an intense chemo round, and Margaret H., who has been tenaciously and graciously battling cancer for a while. Her heartfelt emails helped inspire me to do this. Please pray for us all. And there's also the Nichols family, formerly at Vineyard of Houston, now in Georgia. Diabetes and cystic fibrosis stalks this family. I pray, as was prayed for me years ago,
Zephaniah 3:15-17
15 The LORD has taken away your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The LORD, the King of Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm.
16 On that day they will say to Jerusalem, "Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands hang limp.
17 The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."
