Prayer Requests 10-3-15

Anyone have something to share?

Psalm 124

¹If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Prayer Requests 10-2-15

It’s Friday, so please remember to pray for Mumsee, Mike, and the Nestlings. 

Anyone else?

Psalm 123

¹Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon theLord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

Peter’s Pack of Pickled Pigskin Picks “15 Week-5

Tychicus and Inbutnotof. Two names to remember when voting for the Pickled Pigskin Picks Hall of Fame. These are the only two winners in four weeks, with two each. AJ and Mumsee have been up there lately, but just haven’t gotten close enough in the tie breaker scores. You read that correctly. Mumsee. The female farm wife Bronco fan from a remote part Idaho. Sounds like a reality show teaser, doesn’t it?

At any rate, here are the picks of the week. Idaho is represented twice this week. Boise State hosts Hawaii and Idaho travels almost as far as the Rainbows to play Arkansas State in the Pillow Fight of the Week (according to ESPN’s Bottom Ten.) And to make everyone happy, most of the major conferences have at least two teams on the list. The big games are in the Big 12 and SEC this time around. And of course, the tie breaker is a Big 12 matchup, which Tychicus, last week’s winner, got to choose.

  1. South Carolina @ Mizzou

  2. Army @ Penn State

  3. Air Force @ Navy

  4. #23 West Virginia @ #15 Oklahoma

  5. #13 Alabama @ #8 Georgia

  6. Iowa @ #19 Wisconsin

  7. Hawai’i @ Boise State

  8. Arizona @ #18 Stanford

  9. Pillow Fight: Idaho (1-3) @ Arkansas State (1-3 )

10. Tie Breaker – Guess Winner and final score: Texas Tech @ #5 Baylor

NOTE:  The first game isn’t until Saturday noon eastern, but get your guesses in by Friday night anyway.

P.S. What do you all think of the school logos? Should I continue including them? Yea or nay? (I guess AJ has the final say since it is his blog.) Oh, I know. Maybe I’ll just post the logos, then I’ll be about the only one who knows which teams are playing and the rest of you will be guessing blindly. But then, one of the women might win based on the best looking logos. Oh, well. Leave well-enough alone.

Prayer Requests 10-1-15

Today’s Thursday, so don’t forget to pray for Jo, her students, and the rest of the people of PNG.

Anyone else?

Psalm 122

¹I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.
