Please pray for En Pointe School of Dance. This school is struggling somewhat due to changing demographics--new neighbors just aren't so interested in ballet. The school is considering moving locations as one step in stimulating new growth, but this has numerous trials associated. En Pointe is a center of very high quality ballet instruction (plus jazz, tap, modern, praise & worship and more), and all its leaders exude Biblical values.

Pray for 'L'. She is seeking the truth but is not yet ready to find it.

Keep our son, Brian, in your prayers as he struggles with the various challenges he faces. Pray he is drawn ever closer to the Lord and accepts His Lordship over his life.

Please pray for Kevin & Kristen Hamako, our son-in-law and daughter. They are heading back to Iraq for a second tour of duty (Air Force). The Lord protected them well the first time, and I expect He'll do so again. We miss them and look forward to having them visit someday; and we thank them for their selfless service.

Also pray that Kristen may be drawn ever closer to the Lord and that Kevin may come to know and accept his Savior, growing to be a Godly husband (and father someday).

Please pray that M's back may be quickly healed.

My new job was to start Monday, 20 August 2007. Late Friday, 17 August, I got word from the company's HR representative that my background check is not complete, so my starting date is being pushed off by a week. Disappointing, but things do happen.

I'm trying not to over-react. I left word with the HR person that I would still be available Monday morning, should the situation change, and sent an email to the background invesitgation company that, since I am on a (non-paid) vacation, I can devout whatever effort is required to help move the process along, and whether there were any questions or concerns I could answer. » read more »

Please keep Kathy in your prayers as she undergoes knee surgery tomorrow.

My Mom is planning to drive, starting this Thursday, from my sister's house in Pennsylvania to my house in Atlanta, then to her brother's house in southern Michigan, then back to Pennsylvania. Please pray for her own safety, as well as those on the same road; she is not a safe driver.

I offered to buy her a round trip plane ticket, but she would rather drive. I'm sure a large part of it has to do with needing to feel independent.

Did I mention she's over 80 years old? Well, that has almost nothing to do with it; she's just as safe or unsafe as I've known her to be for the last 30 or 40 y » read more »

My mother lives in Pennsylvania with my sister, Jennifer, and her family--husband (an aspiring politician), 2 boys (one in the military), and a daughter (a college student). It is not a happy arrangement, but a convenient one. Mom can be difficult to be around at times; demanding, snappy, easily offended, stubborn--in other words, human, but less inhibited than most. Her driving frightens everyone. She's 80 years old and has been like this for at least 40 years.

Jennifer is kind, loving, and patient, but she does have her limits, as well as a stressful, full-time job and busy family (did I mention her husband is a politician?). Mom is in the hospital, recovering from a bleeding ulcer that nearly killed her. » read more »
