Home from my first camp trip with the tent trailer ... so much fun and so relaxing.  However, I am sure feeling my age ... fighting the pain and aches in my joints and muscles every day is a chore!

Prayed for 66 members of my family.
Prayed for 14 prayer warriors by name
Prayed for 40 church members by name
Praying for 52 of the lost on our list by name.

Prayed for the personal requests that have been confidentially asked of me to pray.

Pray for our church to be a house of prayer and the prayer life of the congregation to be elevated.

PRAISES AND BLESSINGS:

The camp trip went so well and that was a blessing. Sitting in the morning with coffee and watching the river flow by was so calming and reminds me of all God made for us to enjoy.

BIBLE READING:  

2 Timothy 2
Verse 23: Have nothing to do with stupid and senseless controversies, you know that they breed quarrels. 
So often we are drawn into such things and it is best to remember this verse.

 BOOK READING:
"TOO BUSY NOT TO PRAY" by Bill Hybels

Todays reading says God is our best friend. No matter how close we are to our spouse, children or friends they will eventually leave us by death or not be around all the time when we need them ... but God is and will always be with us. Proverbs 18:24 says "There is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. I have really started experiencing this since Dick passed away. I still have anger issues and fight it - but God is always right there to comfort me and he is faithful when I am not.
