Also, today is probably a good day to pray for our country. Any day is really, and we as a country certainly need it, but today especially. My prayer is that we will return to the ideals and beliefs that this country was founded upon. We’ve strayed too far from God, and it shows. As unworthy as we are, I pray God shows mercy to us. I hope you’ll join me.
Psalm 34
¹I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
Amen Aj,

My first camp registration day is tomorrow at 4:30. Please pray that all runs smoothly and that I won’t develop a migraine. Thank you.
You can also pray for the campers (8 to 11 year olds) who will be coming to camp!

Please also pray that the smoke from the forest fires will lift – it’s really bad again today. Very acrid and visibility less than 1/2 mile.

Smoke has lifted enough I could open our windows again.

Please pray for God’s plans for this last week and that I will let go of plans that aren’t His. I want to be sensitive to the leading of His Spirit.

We have a whole lot of smoke from Canada here. I cannot imagine what it is like close by the fires. 😦

I have been praying for you, Kare, as we were driving this weekend, seeing smoke in the distance. It can be worrisome.
