THANK YOU! My future son-in-law is in navy training school in Florida. I don't know when he is headed to Iraq, just that he is, and he has had all his vaccines already. My daughter is visiting him now in Florida for Spring Break.

Often we get to see our prayers answered. A friend was in a terrible car wreck. It was touch and go for her for a long time. Once she healed, she had to relearn everything. Walking, talking, driving, shopping. She is a chemical engineer and a very smart young woman. My husband and other co-workers took turns taking her to Houston for her treatment. She eventually fully recovered.

When I saw her walk into a party one day, after she had recovered, I thought to myself, "I am seeing my prayers answered, right here, in the flesh. I don't know if she knew how many people were praying for her. I still get goosebumps when I remember seeing her that day at the BBQ picnic.

We can do this during the war, we can name names to pray for, and hopefully, see them come marching home again, safely! We had some penpals during the first Gulf War. We prayed for those guys!!!!!

My prayer requests will be for Robby Ellis Boswell. I will let you know when he shoves off.

Thank you for letting us know about Robby Ellis Boswell. We pray for him, and your daughter and your whole family as he anticipates being deployed.

We are grateful to hear your witness about the role that prayer had in your brilliant young friend's recovery. Seeing walking miracles does seem to have the effect of reinforcing in our emotions what we have known intellectually; PRAYER WORKS!

Thank you for your prayers for our troops during Gulf War I, and for your volunteering for prayer duty in Gulf War II.
