"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” Romans 12:1 NIV

I've decided to make an effort to get healthier and lose some extra weight, so the Verse of the Day on biblegateway.com really seemed appropriate this morning. Hopefully it will inspire me to stick with my healthy goals.

I've neglected my blog but not my friends in need of prayer. I will try to do better about updating here.

Starting off this week's list of prayer praises and petitions, we need to keep in mind:

Cindy P getting together with a friend

Pat's 35 year old neice who got married for the first time this summer is pleased to discover she is now pregnant. Praise for that and prayers for a healthy baby.

Joyce O and Cindy P's husbands are safely back from a mission trip

Joans' trip went well, and the family enjoyed a lovely wedding

Ted will be done with his police training next week and is looking forward to being an officer


Carolyn's home was broken into on Friday and she ended up in the ICU

There have been many robberies in the area, many in daylight hours, so the community should be alert for signs of suspicious behavior

Gizzie will be attending her son's wedding and dealing with extra stress with the family situation and ex-husband

Nate is under a lot of stress at school with mid-terms and other responsibilities

Joes is having severe vertigo, and unable to drive. He's worried about its effect on his studies and with his job


Oh, Lord you know our needs and our desires. Meet our needs as you have promised and guide us to follow your perfect plan for us. Amen.
