Prayer for Daymond -11/13/08

Some may have received an email last night as Jenny fired a very quick one to whoever she could get in the "to" line, but Daymond was taken to the ER yesterday as they were concerned about his heart. They gave him a prescription for what they saw, but today he is heading back because of some chest pains.

• Please pray for divine healing in Daymond's body and strength for his heart
• Pray for wisdom for the doctors seeing him
• Also pray for great peace and strength for Jenny

Thank you all for your faith and standing--Blessings to you. I will keep you updated here with anything I find out.

Update: Daymond is going home and his heart is pumping at 65% which is a vast improvement from his ER visit from a while ago. There is no congestive heart failure. Doctors don't know why everything looks so good, but God is great! Thank you for praying!

A Movie You Should Know about -11/10/08

I forgot to add this last week, but there is a movie called, Fireproof, that has come to Juneau as of last Friday. I actually added a link to a story about it a couple of weeks ago, and it is truly remarkable.

The movie was made by the same people who did Facing the Giants and they see this as their ministry. So far it's being very effective and touching a lot of lives so I wanted to let you know this was here because it's certainly good to support art that stands up for marriage and faith. Besides all that, I hear it's just a great movie so you should enjoy it!

Here's a link to the movie website and you can find out more and even watch the trailer. If you want to check out local times, check the theater schedule here. Thanks to Tracy for making sure churches around town had all the information!

If you've seen the movie already, leave a note in the comments about what you thought.

Don't Forget to Vote!

Tomorrow is election day so don't forget to vote and please don't forget to pray for these elections. These are important times and we need to make our decisions prayerfully, lifting up our nation in prayer as well.

As responsible Christians, we participate in the process and believe God for blessings and righteousness. So whoever you're voting for, get out there tomorrow (or early by absentee) and vote!

Daylight Saving Time

Don’t Forget! Set your clocks back one hour Saturday night before going to bed. Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday, November 2nd at 2:00 am.

If you really want to, you can get up at 2 AM and change it, totally up to you. :)

Prayer and Help Request

I mentioned the other day that Tracy from the church is going through a family crisis and needs our prayer and support. Her brother has passed away and she's helping with all the arrangements for the service and the family. Please pray for continued strength and encouragement as well as God's peace, as He surrounds the family with His presence.

The second thing is that she needs some help and I told her I would ask around. Several family members are coming from out of town, one being a mother and two daughters, and they need a place to stay for a few days. If you can help keep someone or know someone who might be able to, please let us know in the comments or by email. They are also trying to fly up a relative from Tennessee who has no money so if you can help with miles or funds with that, also let us know.

Thank you all. I appreciate that we get to be part of such a loving community and church. Have a very blessed day.

HALLOWEEN CANDY RECALLED

There is a new warning put out by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Sherwood brand 'Pirate's Gold' Milk Chocolate Coins are being recalled due to the fact that they contain Melamine, the ingredient in milk products that has caused many infant deaths in China.

These candies are sold at Costco, as well as many bulk and Dollar Stores. Please make sure to check your children's Halloween candy and DO NOT LET THEM EAT THE PIRATE COINS (you know the ones wrapped in the shiny gold foil) and please let other parents know about this.
