As of last week I'd lost twenty-two pounds in 22 weeks... I'm able to slip my wedding band on and off with relative ease, and it appears that I'm back at my weight from 12th grade; however, I don't have nearly the muscle mass I had on that 1983 graduation day <g>. "Big Nate" gave a good illustration. Another item of non-eternal value is how one of my favorite Internet radio stations, www.classicfm.com, was named UK Station of the Year at the Sony Radio Academy Awards. Whoopee. If you need another good station, remember to try www.allworship.com Now, on to eternity... since it's never too early to begin praying for those who'll endure another month of fasting during the Islamic month of Ramadan, be sure to check the newly revamped site at www.3-days.net 1 in every 5 people alive today are Muslims.
+ <L A S T W E E K><+ Scott asked for significant progress last week toward "healthy living"... as I mentioned above, my weight loss has been slow and steady. I've added another accountability factor over at http://o2b183.traineo.com . I enjoy the daily hour of aerobic bouncing on a mini-trampoline and face a regular challenge to make it happen. I'm still in my early 40's and friends in the next 'decade of life' suggest losing as much weight as possible since "it gets even tougher after 50." Mick Jagger's lyrics come to mind: "You can't always eat what you want." + You joined Shirin and a co-worker in praying for clear direction in how to start back into the English classes for ladies. The goal of the classes is to share God's message in order for the ladies to follow Jesus... Shirin writes, "Thank you for praying. She and a co-worker have renewed excitement and new materials to use in the English classes. + Jasmine asked that you would pray that she would love Jesus more last week than she did the week before... when asked about this update she said, "Oh, do I ever! Wanna hear my song?"
<T H I S W E E K><<>< Scott wants to finish a few specific tasks that have been 'out of his control' (i.e., dependent on the responses of others) and asks that each one be finished this week so as to see 'tangible evidence' of progress under way; specifically, you could ask for chairs, maps, a desk, and travel safety. <>< Join Shirin and a co-worker in praying for the first week of English classes with the ladies to reveal the women of peace. These women will accept the Good News gladly and open their homes to other women to hear the Good News. <>< Jasmine asks to be able to concentrate more efficiently for her upcoming tests in Arabic.
<* Pray for the Hindu Mahar of India.><
* Thanks to my sister's mother-in-law for sharing this gem :-) You have to be old enough to remember Abbott
and Costello, and too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate
this. For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read
on... If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch,
"Who's on First?" might have turned out something like this:
