We are told in I Timothy 2:1-4 that we are to pray for those in authority over us. Here's how the NIV translates it:

In Jerusalem, a Reuters journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, everyday, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She went to the Wailing Wall and there he was! She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, she approached him for an interview.'I'm Rebecca Smith from Reuters.

I haven’t seen a praying mantis since I was very young, and even then, I think it was in an aquarium in biology class. I knew precisely three facts about the mantis: a) it can change color like a chameleon, b) the female will bite the head off the male after mating, and c) a gigantic one ate an entire Eskimo village in a movie once, and could totally kick the collective asses of all those ants i

Here's a quick post to thank all my wonderful friends who showed your love and concern for Clayton during his bout of diarrhea and vomiting last week. It was a very scary experience for me.

You may remember this story from last month. An 11 year-old girl died following the complications of untreated diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Now, DKA is a serious condition and strikes fear in anyone who has diabetes. However, if recognized early, this is a treatable. And, for the most part, DKA has a good recovery rate.The parents of this child did not see it necessary to seek medical attention for their daughter. Instead, they felt that faith alone along with prayer would be enough to heal their daughter. This Associated Press story continues:Madeline Neumann died March 23 -- Easter Sunday -- at her family's rural Weston home. Her parents were told the body would be taken to Madison for an autopsy the next day. "They responded, 'You won't need to do that. She will be alive by then,"' the
Occasionally, there is some good news. Dale and Leilani Neumann, who I've posted about before, have been charged with second-degree reckless homicide for praying, instead of taking their daughter to the hospital to be treated for diabetes.The Neumanns face up to 25 years in prison for essentially killing their daughter via God. One wonders what they must think now that they waited for God to heal their daughter. Are they going to use the most despised religious excuse in history? That it was God's will?Perhaps, the Neumanns should return to the real world, as opposed to their world of imaginary characters, and demonstrate the unconditional love they should have had for their children by protecting them from things such as disease. In this case, they chose their love of God over the life of

After watching the replay of Idol Gives Back this afternoon, I was drawn to play a part in a small way. Since I don't live in the US, the only way to donate is to download some songs in iTunes. Well, I went to Americanidol.com and was planning to do that but when it came to payment, I realized that my country was not listed in iTunes, this meant that I won't be able to purchase songs via iTunes. It was kinda sad for me cos I seriously loved the song, Praying for Time, sang by Carrie Underwood. She sang very well in the show and the words were truly meaningful too. So since I couldn't download from iTunes, I had gotten this from youtube. If you can, do download it at AmercianIdol.comIt's time to give back.
Instead of singing one of her own songs, fourth-season Idol winner Carrie Underwood opted to croon George Michael’s “Praying for Time”during Idol Gives Back 2008.
Apparently the Czech Republic symbol, Tomas Rosicky, would lose the third Euro of his career. Or his knee is saying it.... Although Karel Brueckner is thinking about other players, I don’t think that he could avoid missing him (as Arsenal does since January 26th).Present in a national squad since 1995 (U-15) would be replaced by Jaroslav Plasil, Marek Matejovsky, or David Jarolim. Maybe Jaroslav is the man to replace Rosicky experience.Czechoslovakia was the EURO champion in 1976 and, as Czech Republic was the runner up in 1996. But this year, won’t be easy the Group A against Switzerland, Portugal and Turkey.Before crying The Czech absence, see the best of him on youtube.

We are facing a serious drought in our neck of the woods. Friends of ours own a lake house; my first post on this blog was from Memorial Day 2006, which we spent there with them. Here is a photo from that post (my husband is the cutie driving the jet ski):
See the island in the background? Here is a photo I took last weekend. The trees in the background are the same trees from the above picture:
You can now walk to the “island.” Look at how low the docks are:
Our friends have had to repeatedly push their dock further out and down (approximately 60 feet so far) as the water has receded.
Our family has personally taken steps to reduce our water consumption. I keep a pitcher in the kitchen sink which catches water when we wash our hands or dishes. When I need to rinse a dish before putting it in the dishwasher, I use that water.

and I’ll bless Your name into eternity.
I’ll bless You every day,

God is magnificent; He can never be praised enough.
There are no boundaries to His greatness.
Generation after generation stands in awe of Your work;
each one tells stories of Your mighty acts.
Your beauty and splendor have everyone talking;

Carl Hagy, who is 41-years-old, has been arrested for stealing a laptop from Rev. Fidelis Obdike, who was in the process of praying with him. Hagy was arrested by police on Wednesday after he pawned the computer, according to reports.
The incident happened on Friday at the Destiny Global Ministries, in which police responded to the call by Obdike describing what happened. Obdike told police that he bought the laptop from Carl Hagy about two weeks ago. Then he said that Hagy came back to the church and asked to pray. While the two where praying inside the church Hagy took the preacher’s laptop computer and left before Obdike even opened his eyes.
Police later booked Hagy at the Sebastian County Jail, but he was later released on a $1,500 bond. I am still trying to figure out how the man took the computer without Obdike hearing him.

Jack and Max are walking from religious service. Jack wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying.Max replies, "Why don't you ask the Priest?"So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, " Father, may I smoke while I pray?"The Priest replies, "No, my son, you may not! That's utter disrespect to our religion."Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him.Max says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try."And so Max goes up to the Priest and asks, "Father, may I pray while I smoke ?"To which the Priest eagerly replies, "By all means, my son. By all means. You can always pray whenever you want to."Moral of the story is ... The reply you get depends on the question you ask.
God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand.
I’m an open book to you;
even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking.
You know when I leave and when I get back;
I’m never out of your sight.
You know everything I’m going to say
before I start the first sentence.
I look behind me and you’re there,
then up ahead and you’re there, too—
your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful—
I can’t take it all in!
Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit?
to be out of your sight?
If I climb to the sky, you’re there!
If I go underground, you’re there!
If I flew on morning’s wings
to the far western horizon,
You’d find me in a minute—
you’re already there waiting!
Then I said to myself, “Oh, he even sees me in the dark!
At night I’m immersed in the light!”
It’s a fact: darkness isn’t dark to you;
night and day, darkness and light, they’re a

Thankfully, a federal judge refused Monday to temporarily bar schools from observing a brief period of prayer or reflective silence for students, but he allowed a lawsuit contesting the practice to move forward.
The ridiculous lawsuit was filed by talk-radio host Rob Sherman, whose 14-year-old daughter, Dawn, is a student in the district at Buffalo Grove High School.
She and her father maintain that the new law is just another round in the long-running battle over prayer in school and as such violates the U.S. Constitution.
The Silent Reflection and Student Prayer Act already had allowed Illinois schools to have a moment of silence at the start of every school day if they wished to do so. This month Legislators overturned Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s veto and made the moment of silence mandatory.
The school district has promised to enforce the law in a “neutral” fashion making no reference whatsoever to religion.
Rob Sherman has been on a one man crusade to rid the public s
Thanks for praying for stef. Here is an update from his wife…Wow our God is amazing
“Hi, it’s Sandi filling in for Stef– Wow! What a day this has been. Actually, what a journey these past three months have been. We have been awaiting this day for some time now. We waited with both fear and excitement. We had a fear of the unknown because we didn’t know for sure what they would be doing once they opened Stef up, and we had excitement because of the possibilities of this surgery. We definitely saw what God can do. I do have to thank our amazing support system also. We have so many amazing friends and family who shared of their time with us over the last few days. Some dear girl friends of mine had me up for lunch yesterday and a time of prayer. Last night, some friends of Stef’s came to our house to pray with Stef. Today, we had some wonderful people sit with me at the hospital to help pass those long hours. A wonderful friend of Stef’s was th

鎌切、島根Japan has two main species and nine sub-species of praying mantis known commonly in Japanese as the kamakiri, but variously, also, as the tohroh, imojiri, or iibomushiri. Kamakiri literally means “sickle cut,” referring to the front legs, that to the ancient Japanese obviously more resembled someone working in the garden than piously praying.Like most Japanese wildlife, it is rarely seen in the cities, but abounds in the countryside. This specimen of a praying mantis was recently photographed in Shimane prefecture, at the westernmost tip of the main island of Honshu.True to its reputation as a predator, it fearlessly attacked the camera moments after this shot was taken, and proceeded to clamber over the camera, up the photographer’s arm and onto his head!The praying mantis, along with stag beetles and other large creepy crawlies, is a favorite with Japanese boys, who collect them mainly in the summer.Book a hotel in Japan with BookingsJapanese FictionJapan Book Sh
