Shirin and I will soon be taking Jasmine to school and then I'll be taking transportation for a week long trip to help a co-worker help other co-workers with computer needs; consequently, this Wednesday Weekly will be valid for two weeks <g>. The three of us covet your prayers during this time.

Wow, did I see the impact of your intercession over my computer mishaps! Before I took Jasmine to school I had finished an overnight run of Scandisk and was about ready to try Drive Image. I stopped, not wanting to live with the frustration of another (possible) failed attempt. Well, when I got home, I bit the bullet and, so far, things are working! Thank you once again for changing my life!

Please note:

"Scott we are having a Prayer Conference at our church, Hermitage Hills Baptist on March 10-12. We are asking people all over the world to pray for this conference. Please e-mail all you know and ask them to pray. We are expecting God to do a mighty work, with souls saved and lives changed."

+ With relatively no light at the end of the computer tunnel, Scott asked that he be reminded daily of the end result of fixing these things... thanks in part to your intercession, things improved slightly and, yes, Scott was reminded of the end result of what could happen and will happen!

+ Shirin started going to an exercise gym and asked that you join her in praying for situations to share her faith... Shirin writes, "Thank you for praying with me. I have been able to locate several people that speak Arabic and English at the gym and am still learning the faces of people who come to the gym at the same time I do."

+ Jasmine asked for your intercession that would have allowed her to do well on upcoming evaluations... Jasmine thanks you for praying and says she did fine on her evaluations.

An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him.

He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, finger printed, photographed and placed in a holding cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. "I noticed the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
