Prayer Requests 10-10-15

Anyone have something to share?

Psalm 130

¹Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord.

2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3 If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

7 Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Prayer Requests 10-9-15

It’s Friday, so please remember to pray for Mumsee, Mike, and the young folks at The Nest.

Anyone else?

Psalm 129

¹Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

4 The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.

Peter’s Pack of Pickled Pigskin Picks “15-Week 6

It’s time once again for that foray into futility for some, or that venture into victory for others. Peter’s Pickled Pigskin Picks is back. Some big games are on tap, and some that seem like they’ll be easy to pick. It’s the Red River Rivalry game weekend. Remember when it mattered? It still does along the Texas-Oklahoma border. There is also the traditional Navy vs. Notre Dame rivalry. This year should prove interesting since Navy is undefeated, but has to go to South Bend to play a team that got embarrassed last week down South. The Pillow Fight is here, along with a contest from the SEC East (even though the game is on the Mid West) for the tie breaker. Have at it!

  1. #10 Oklahoma @ Texas – Remember when this was a game between two great teams?

  1. Arkansas @ #8 Alabama – Alabama needs it’s ‘A’ game if it wants to be considered a champion again.

  1. #25 Boise State @ Colorado State – Broncos and Rams. I remember when CSU was an also ran in the old Western Athletic Conference. Now it is an also ran in another conference.

  1. Duke @  Army – Can Army make something of this season?

    5.   Navy @ #15 Notre Dame – See above.

  1. #13 Northwestern @ #18 Michigan – Remember when Northwestern was the floor mat of the Big 10? Times have changed.

  1. Oregon State @ Arizona – Arizona needs this one after two humiliating losses to California teams.

  1. #23 Cal @  #5 Utah – I remember when Utah was a door mat in the old WAC with CSU. Times have changed.

  1. Pillow Fight: UConn (2-3) @ Central Florida (0-5) – Huskies in Florida. Not what I think of when I think of warm climates.

     10. Tie Breaker (pick winner and score): #11 Florida @  Mizzou – Tigers at home against a team that used to be great. I wonder if Mizzou has Gatorade on their sidelines?

Remember: Get those picks in before noon on Saturday, as that is when the action begins!

It’s Thursday, so please remember to pray for Jo, her students, and the people of PNG.

Anyone else?

Psalm 128

¹Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.

2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

5 The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
