One Minute Prayer

The following was in our church bulletin and I thought I'd share it with you.

"During World War II, there was an advisor 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 England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect, as bombing stopped. There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here. The United States of America and our citizens need prayer more than ever! If you want to participate: each evening at 8 pm (Central Time) stop what you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the U.S., our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, for wisdom and courage for our leaders, the up-coming election, that the Bible will remain the basis for the law governing our land, and that Christianity will grow in the United States. If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along. Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have."

Anyway, it's just a thought if you are also wanting this war to end. At least that's how I see it.

On a different note. The following picture is a nightly occurrence at our house. Mike lays like this on the floor and Libby will lay on top of him either to play sleep or for a story.

When she saw the camera, she first choose to lay NEXT to Daddy.


Last week our sitter's kids taught her a few things. Rachel taught her Ring Around the Rosey which she loves. Emily and Hannah taught her to say "No bath". It's funny though because she LOVES to take baths so she'll say "No bath. BATH!" and laugh. No bath is said in this really soft fake whine of a voice. Too cute.
