It's a busy day for prayer around here feel free to join us if you feel led.
- Baby Maisy is in major surgery again as I type and her parents (Mark and Julie) are patiently waiting.
-My mom (Susan) is slowing walking through the exhausting reality of her second round of Chemo in Seattle.
-Pam's mom (Shirley) contracted a nasty systemic infection over the weekend and it's been a high-stress weekend in the ER and then hospital for both of them.
-Mary Pearson (her caring bridge site) a friend from church, mom to 4 and facing another round of treatment for lukeima.
-It's fall in the city - as much as we love the cooler weather and the kids heading back to school the next four weeks will be filled with a preoccupation by many in the neighborhood with violence, gore and killing. Historically it is an uncomfortable time to be here with heightened spiritual attacks and so many outward signs of Satan's influence. Please join us in praying that our community would become a stronghold of truth and place of refuge against these things. Especially for protection over the neglected children.

Dorothy,
I'll be praying for you and your family as always and also the families you mentioned. Prayer is the only way we can survive in this world the way it is. How do people live from day to day without it?
Hugs and Kisses to you and the children.
Miss Lila
Sending love and strength to Auntie Sue, with the hope that she has an appetite (for food and life) and makes it through OK. From all of us, Mike, Natalie, Bethy and Thomas
Dorothy,
I regards to your last prayer request, I am curious to know how your family handles the celebration of Halloween. In my family growing up, we never celebrated Halloween as my parents strongly felt that it was a holiday that glorified Satan. As an adult, I don't celebrate it either. However, we found (and continue to find) that many Christians seem to think that if they are just "dressing up for fun" that it is harmless. Your comments about the spiritual warfare that goes on around this time of the year make me wonder what you guys have seen as far as the spiritual implications of this holiday...maybe a post for another day :)
