Still wondering about that...  late morning

As I look outside my window...

 way, as well as, a few weeds..uh, oh!

The basil plant is  doing well..  time to  snip some  to bring in for the week!

Bible verse, Devotional, prayers::: 

Prayers 
Continuing prayers for our nation:

Pray protection over The President and his family.  Scatter the network of evil schemes that thwart 

the Constitutional flow of government

Pray against all division in our nation, that harmony and peace will reign supreme throughout the land. 

For the God's will to work its way through our Congress to promote a healing and a functioning environment.

Pray against delusion and lies of the enemy, protect the hearts and minds of the young, and especially the un-informed electorate!

Pray that pastors across the nation are renewed and re edified to preach the gospel using the whole counsel of God.

Please, God, take back our institutions of higher learning

Pray for the sick that they might be healed

Pray for the peace and harmony of Jerusalem ...also pray God's favor over Bibi Netanyahu ..I have some friends flying there for a tour of the Holy land today.. keep them safe, Lord!

Pray for our service men and women overseas who put their life on the line everyday to protect our freedoms. 

Pray for the lost who are bewildered and lost... they are hopeless in need of a loving savior
