On Prayer …

“It is good to debate the mysteries of prayer, to ponder the profundities of prayer, to learn the methods of prayer. It is better to pray.

“Prayer is a little like an automobile: you do not have to understand everything about its inner workings for it to get you somewhere. I have found that if we simply pray – even if we pray in wrong ways – God is pleased with our feeble efforts and Jesus lovingly guides us into more excellent ways. Also, we can be assured that the blessed Holy Spirit will adjust, correct, and interpret our prayer before the throne of God.”
(Richard Foster, Devotional Classics, p. 131.)

Tommy’s Coming Home!

This evening I got a message that Tommy and Naomi Pierro are booked on a flight to come home on Thursday night! I was pleasantly surprised by this news as I was anticipating that he would have another week in the hospital, and then I thought they would probably want to keep him around the San Diego area for a few days for observation to ensure everything was OK. But, I guess after having his chest tubes taken out and with his breathing levels being maintained, they feel he is good to go, so praise the Lord! This is a real answer to prayer for Tommy personally as he wanted to be home in time for his cousin’s wedding this Friday.

When Puppet Cats Strike Back!

My daughter loves playing with the cat. He’s an ornery old fella, and sometimes he decides he doesn’t like playing little girl games. This was one of those times!
