Prayer Warriors


I have found myself dumbfounded as this election proceeds. Someone sent the following to me and I think I will be participating in this battle.

This is the scariest election we as Christians have ever faced. From the looks of the polls, the Christians aren't voting Christian values. We all need to be on our knees. Do you believe we can take God at His word? His scripture gives us, as Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I challenge you to do so. We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land.

2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

During WWII, there was an adviser to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of its people and peace. This had an amazing effect as bombing stopped.

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America. The United States of America and our citizens need prayer more than ever!!!

If you would like to participate: each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, 8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific, stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, for wisdom and courage for our leaders, the up-coming election, and that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land and that Christianity will grow in the U.S.

Someone said if people really understood the full l extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.

Justin finished his tennis games a few weeks ago. He enjoys playing. He also went to Homecoming after Priesthood meeting. They had a great time.






Random thoughts and happenings:

Karl and I went to see a movie last night called Fireproof. It was really good. I recommend it and Forever Strong to anyone who wants to see a couple of good movies.

Erika and her friends helped serve Karl and I a candlelight dinner before we ran off to the moies.

Justin dug out two trees for me today.

I ate the first pomegranite picked off the tree today. Really we should wait until Halloween, but it was cracked open. It was actually quite sweet and tasty.

The weather is beautiful. Ignacio our gardener, did the yard up nicely as always.

Shean is adjusting to 6th grade and actually enjoying it.
