And there are quiet folks on the side as well... and it's good to whisper this campaign in your neighborhoods... in your clubs... or your stores, churches, etc. How silly of us to forget the simplicity of prayer but we all do it.<br /><br />Busy lives. Gentle hearts.<br /><br />We're on our way.... and I'd love for more to join us openly or quietly. It's all good.Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111441021039703390.post-10177974904973489042012-10-31T20:48:30.310-04:002012-10-31T20:48:30.310-04:00Thanks for the reminder, Ruthy.

Have to put that on the list for Monday.<br /><br />And I agree about the communal prayer. I take my class to Mass every Wednesday morning. We've talked about how we attend Mass with our own families so it's important to attend as a class family.<br /><br />I'm happy to join you in a month of prayer.Mary Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173540875518117671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111441021039703390.post-15066650677056228062012-10-31T13:26:29.876-04:002012-10-31T13:26:29.876-04:00Oh, yes, count me in.

I'm super bad at letting the world tke over my time... Like whiney toddlers and a sick load of dishes.<br /><br /> Now, why doesn't God tug at our legs and shriek about his breafast cereal being soggy?? And why is it so easy for me to pay attention to that instead of the One who gives such peace?Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111441021039703390.post-61211228908146594432012-10-31T12:13:06.654-04:002012-10-31T12:13:06.654-04:00Nancy, you're in!

I mean, look at how often Jesus prayed, and He's, well, you know. =) The part about those praying against us resonated. *HUGS*Nancy Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235904632405726930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111441021039703390.post-6556242346754842842012-10-31T09:23:39.219-04:002012-10-31T09:23:39.219-04:00If we can snowball that feeling you so eloquently ...If we can snowball that feeling you so eloquently described, Melanie... and Julie, yes, yes, yes, it's so easy to find prayer in times of stress, fear, and joy...<br /><br />and then jump-start ourselves through those normal days when we think we're in control. ;) Joining hands and hearts... and spreading the word.

Yes, rega...Beautifully written (as usual!), Ruthy.<br /><br />Yes, regardless of denomination, as long as we believe in the same things--the Bible, Jesus as Lord and Savior and being the Son of God and His death and resurrection--we are all ONE FAMILY.<br /><br />Our church practices this. We have a monthly worship event, into which we have incorporated some prayer, and it is for all churches in our county. We gather together to worship God. And now our pastor has begun a First Sunday Prayer evening for those in our church--the first one is this Sunday, November 4th, so we can pray for the upcoming elections.<br /><br />And one of our members is the director of the Wayne County Prayer House. We are trying to get prayer to sweep across our county...<br /><br />So...again...beautifully written, dear lady...<br /><br />Hugs,<br />MelanieMelanie Pikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111441021039703390.post-75563281241407618142012-10-31T06:43:40.386-04:002012-10-31T06:43:40.386-04:00Amen.
