Good morning!
In his bid for reelection, Prime Minister Tony Blair is ahead. While some Brits are not to fond of Blair they are less fond of his opponents.
Good Morning. Raining cats & dogs here. Hoping for a short day at work so I can get home and attend to 'stuff'.

Girlfriend in KS said they were to get baseball size hail.
The Dow industrials shot up more than 100 points and the Nasdaq composite gained more than 1% as Wall Street cheered upbeat tech earnings. Archipelago soared nearly 50% on the NYSE deal.
Baseball sized hail=YIKES
I suppose it's headed my way. They're predicting severe weather for tonite here.
I have a question for y'all. There is a frequent poster on FR, Paul Ciniraj, who claims to be an Indian Christian and is working to advance the gospel in his country of India. Every so often he, or some relative, will come onto the forum and request prayer for some terribly heartbreaking situation.
Is there any way for us to check this out? If valid, I certainly don't want to deny a brother prayer, but if it is a hoax, as I suspect it to be, I would like him banned.
Has Deej come to visit you?
She's in Topeka.
That's a good question. I'll go to his previous posts and see what he's been posting.
Jemian, after googling his dad's name, it seems he is legitimate. I've sent you some links to your freep mail.
Thanks. I've tried accessing Voice of the Martrys through http://www.persecution.com and it keeps crashing my computer. It just seems that they always are in extreme situations. I don't think Paul, Peter or Martin Luther had so many dire straits as they do. I guess I'm just a sceptic.
LOL, sent the links to myself. Just now sent them on to you.
Occasionally there is someone posting on the Chat side requesting prayer using very broken sentences.
I can't remember the poster's name. Is this the situation you are referencing?
Thanks. I tend to agree with you. He does appear to be legit. He's consistent through time and in other forums as well FR.
Unconfirmed so far ... based on "inside info" from a FReeper at this point.
Very probably. The english is never any good. I get sceptical when I read so much trouble so often. I get worn out just reading about their lives; I don't think I would make it very long if I had to live their lives.
However, it appears that my scepticism is misplaced and they are on the level.
But I figure it's always better to err on the side of praying for someone. God knows the true situation whether we do or not. Maybe He applies our prayers to the true need even if it is not what we thought it was.
Whats going on?
Jemian, Are you questioning his Indian background and Christianity? Or are you questioning his heartbraking tales? We just received Eastern Indian members into our church recently who have been brought up as Christians, so I know personally they are real.
Bye, Doggie!
Back to the work at hand for now ... *sigh*
