Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to attend to. (Rulz for those of you in Burnsville)
- This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate away the morning.
- Be kind, be nice. The trolls will meet a fitting end.
- Running with sharp objects will be allowed but not encouraged.
- Have a great weekend!
Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.
