I've been feeling kind of weird for the last three months or so. My wife & I wound up on our church's prayer team that meets once a week. I was suppose to teach a class at the same time as the prayer team meets but the class didn't happen so the only other thing to go to was intercessory prayer. Ever since getting saved a little over 20 years ago I learned to pray but I was never very good at it. Now I'm on the prayer team! The Lord knows what he's doing so I'm going to hang in.
There is some good news here. While I'm getting it pounded into me how to pray more fervently as a team my wife has really exploded into an awesome prayer warrior! My wife Pam has never really experienced fervent prayer as a team. However she has really come out of her shell to be a leading member on our team. One thing that we always do every week is to pass around all of the prayer requests that we’ve had come in and everyone takes one or two depending on how many we have come in. When Pam prays over the ones she has I feel the power of her prayer come out and I know she is moving Heaven!
What a blessing it is to have a praying wife! I know that when I’m on the street witnessing that when she is here at home praying I’m covered! When I’m physically or emotionally having problems and she prays for me it doesn’t take long and I get feeling better!
What a blessing it is to have a wife that when she prays God listens and Heaven moves!
Be Blessed!!!

Quick Update...
I guess I ought to put a quick update up here on my blog. I got some good news today when I weighed in. I weighed in at 484 pounds which means that I lost about 14 pounds since my last weigh in a little over two weeks ago! Praise God! If I can keep this up for another couple of months I just might be able to umpire some baseball this summer!
I had a reply back after my last blog when I was kind of in the blahs suggesting that I might try fasting. I wish I could do a traditional fast but be diabetic I’m not able to do a traditional fast. The only kind of fast I can do is fasting from certain foods or certain things for a period of time. For instance every year in the past during lent I fasted from all candy and chocolate. This year since I’ve been diagnosed with diabetes I’m not sure what I’ll fast from this year. Anyway, it’s not always what you fast it’s what you do during your fast and the condition of your heart, that’s what God looks at.
Another high point, I got together with a group of people that do street witnessing like I do Saturday evening in Old Town. We had 13 people show up, the most we’ve ever had! The weather was awesome for February in Kansas with the temperatures in the mid to low 60’s well past 10:00 p.m. I’m not sure how the others did as I did see several witnessing with different people from time to time. I myself passed out around 75 million dollar bills and did a little sharing and prayed with one guy named David. Overall it was a great night of sharing!
That’s about it for now, except for when the next time you see me I’ll have glasses. I went to the eye doctor last week and she prescribed bifocals for me! I guess I must be getting old! Sheesh!
Be Blessed!!!
