Living out here in the middle of the Pineywoods, we have to travel to get anywhere. One of the things I like to do is find podcasts that can help me build up my spiritual life. Here are a few to look over that you can download to learn more about your faith.

I got this message from Corp Prayer Resources yesterday. Please say a prayer for rain here in Texas.
Dear Intercessors.....
My brother is an electrical engineer in East Texas where he manages/oversees an electric plant, and said this week that the Texas electrical plants with cooling ponds are watching the lake levels as they cannot operate without adequate water to cool the equipment. His plant is 90 days out from closure and there is at least one plant in Texas that is only 30 days away from closure without divine intervention of rain. And once the plant closes, it is quite a process to get it up and on line again.....so our rain problems are now critical for another reason.
BUT, God keeps bringing this song to me...
Our beloved Father,
please come down and meet us,we are waiting on Your touch...
Open up the heavens,shower down Your presence,we respond to Your great love...
We won't be satisfied with anything ordinary,we won't be satisfied at all...
Open up the sky, fall down like rain,
We don't want blessings, we want You!!
Open up the sky, fall down like fire,
We don't want anything, but You !
We won't be satisfied with anything ordinary, we won't be satisfied at all...
I believe this should be our prayer...desperate for HIM. He is our all in all. He is our answer.
Can I make a suggestion? play this at your prayer meetings, use this link to play in your own prayer time....let's get this cry from our hearts deep down in our souls, spirits, minds, very beings...WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING BUT YOU !!!

Summertime is here in Nac!
With summer here, spending time in the water sounds like a great idea! So, maybe we should consider what to wear... or not to wear. I found a very interesting article on swim-wear ... How do you want to be viewed?

A Special Report (in recognition of Coerced Abortion Awareness Week)
by Elliot Institute
Most abortions are unwanted or coerced. Many are forced.
From deceptive or coercive counseling to job and housing discrimination, pregnancy- or abortion-related violence or even homicide – the leading killer of pregnant women – abortion endangers women and children.
After abortion, women are further at risk as most suffer symptoms of trauma, death rates are nearly 4 times higher, and, in the first year after abortion, suicide rates are 6 times higher.
Abortion is endangering, maiming and killing women, too:
* When his wife refused to abort, her husband jumped on her stomach until their baby died . . .
* A daughter was pushed into an abortion clinic at gunpoint by her mother . . .
* Outside a parking garage, a physician shouted, “I’m giving you an abortion!” as he injected the mother of his child with an abortifacient drug . . .
* A school counselor ridiculed the student and put her on the weekly bus to the abortion clinic . . .
* A homeless woman was denied shelter until she had an abortion . . .
* A 13-year-old was returned to her molester after he took her in for a cover-up abortion . . .
* A waitress was fired after refusing to abort ...

Splinters From the Cross
Little headaches, little heartaches
Little griefs of every day,
Littler trials and vexations,
How they throng around our way!
One great cross, immense and heavy,
So it seems to our weak will,
Might be born with resignation,
But these many small ones kill.
Yet all life is formed of small things,
Little leaves, make up the trees,
Many tiny drops of water
Blending, make the mighty seas,
Let us not then by impatience
Mar the beauty of the whole,
But for love of Jesus bear all
In the silence of our soul,
Asking Him for grace sufficient
To sustain us through each loss,
And to treasure each small offering
As a splinter from His Cross.

Laetare Sunday is coming up. Midway of Lent. Let us rejoice and be glad, Christ died for our sins.
