[fuzz: post] for prayer

So much to pray about with storms here, a local 15-year-old dying in a car crash and her mom now in a coma, the quake in China and the cyclone in Myanmar. At least three of my school friends have family in Myanmar, and I just learned this morning about another who may have been working there at the time of the storm. I'm enjoying hearing from old friends on Facebook, but not all the news has been good. Heard of another friend who died in Africa in a car accident and now his wife had to leave their ministry there and return to their home country. Again, much to pray.....

Made it through the storms here. Still looks like the Four Horsemen came through -- power lines piled like spaghetti, huge trees exploded like shrapnel -- we've had it before, but not quite the same. We were two days without power and so many roads were closed. Mom had a tarp she wanted to get to a friend of hers who had roof damage but was told she couldn't get to the house! I have pictures. Will try to get uploaded sometime soon. You can see one on my Facebook page under Profile Pictures.

What a story this is -- saw a friend of mine yesterday who was the first to join my financial support team. He has consistently been giving $40/month. This week he received a surprise gift of $4000. (The hundred-fold return was not lost on him.) He is new to this kind of giving, though he's always been a natural giver. Now he says God has told him where to tithe from the $4000, and he is going to keep at it! This is why the Lord keeps some of us out of the paycheck loop -- so the whole Body can be encouraged by stories like THAT. What a giving and powerful God we serve!

[fuzz:post] facebook

Last month I joined Facebook. If you're a member you can keep up with me there (and I you). It was a bit overwhelming at first, like walking around a fractal. But I've gotten used to it and I'm enjoying finding old friends.
