Prayer for the Dreifke relatives
First is my nephew, Zachary Kobayashi, age 14. Zac was hurt in a
bicycle accident over the weekend and has a skull fracture. He and
his family live in a remote area of Hawaii, away from medical help and
he was not immediately seen by a doctor. Please pray for him as the
family is making decisions on surgery, but must have the swelling go
down before surgery can be done.

Also, my daughter, Karrie's Uncle, David Schroud is in the hospital
and facing heart surgery as the angioplasty was not successful that
they tried to do today. The entire Schroud family would appreciate
any and all prayers going their way.
And right in the middle of this, my son Chris is getting married this
Saturday and we can use prayers that the family comes together to
celebrate his marriage in the midst of a lot of health trauma issues.
Thanks so much for spreading the word on these prayer requests.
Karrie, Chris and I appreciate it.

Prayer for family of Baby Isaiah
River of Life Church family & friends,
Please mourn with Bonnie & her family as Isaiah has passed on to be with the Lord. I would encourage you to send cards, flowers, or gifts to the church. We will give them to the family. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated, as the gospel goes forth, even in the midst of tragedy... especially in the midst of tragedy.
Psalm 121:1 says:
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
8 The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore. Read Full Post»

God is busy
...
God's Busy
God's Busy
A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU . One day the professor shocked the class when he came in he looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, 'God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes.' The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.
Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, 'Here I am God. I'm still waiting.' It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him, knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked, stunned, and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, 'What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?' The Marine calmly replied, 'God was too busy today protecting American soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me.'
And all God's people said -- AMEN!
