Your prayers have been so much help. Sepsis and an advanced bile duct cancer diagnosis to this. God is incredible and prayer works. Chemo has actually improved his liver numbers which has baffled his doctors. A long road ahead beating this pernicious and aggressive type of cancer, but I just have to kneel and beg God to bless you all for your prayers. Please continue to pray for my honey-badger of a brother. Also pray for Andrea's father. He is also battling the scourge of cancer and is another honey-badger of a man. Pray I become a stronger man.

My granny made it through surgery and is doing well in recovery! I sent a private freepmail to a few friends and copied our wonderful prayer group leaders earlier asking for prayer. I shouldn't be amazed but I am about how many replies and wonderful, kind words y'all had for me. FReepers are truly the best! As I said, Granny is 98, but she's a spunky girl. In the recovery room, they asked her what her name is, etc. She answered everything correctly. Then they asked her who the president is. She said, "Obomber" and shook her head. Everybody laughed....

We are asking prayer for safety,well-being and release of the Korean hostages from Taliban terrorists. 2-3 of the hostages have been murdered! Negotiations for release are political, so the process is slow and painful. Please pray for families involved waiting for their loved ones. Thank You for your prayerful support. Hebrews 13:3..Remember the prisoners as if chained with them, and those who are mistreated, since you yourselves are in the body also.

Please keep him in your prayers.......

Monday evening, I had reached a low point after several rejection letters and no feedback on my follow-ups. In the last 6 weeks, I sent 166 resumes and followed-up in person or on the phone about 3 times as much. I was very depressed. Although Agnostic, I said a prayer to God, hoping that if he was out there, he would hear me. Tuesday morning, I woke early. An incredible calm and total peace was instilled in me. I can't explain it. I just knew everything was going to be alright. I told my wife that day before I went...

<p>Her Arizona home is thousands of miles from the streets of Baghdad, but Christa Wiggans said she spans that distance daily with prayers for American troops and their cause.</p> <p>The power of prayer, she said, has boosted weary soldiers, brought clarity to political and military leaders and influenced battles to swing America's way. With U.S. forces in the heart of the Iraqi capital, prayer in the conflict has been "right behind the military, right behind the soldiers," Miss Wiggans said. "Prayer is absolutely as powerful."</p>

AMARAH, Iraq -- The Marines of Charlie Company did not sleep well Monday night. The next day's mission was their most serious yet -- a probable tank battle with an Iraqi armored division in this city on the Tigris River. That night and the next morning, many Marines talked openly about the possibility of dying. At dawn Tuesday, the company rolled out, a vanguard of a task force planning to attack the Iraqi tanks. But not much goes according to plan these days, and that's not always such a bad thing. When the convoy approached this alleged enemy stronghold, the...

AN AIRBASE IN IRAQ - The two soldiers from the Army's 3rd Infantry Division were lost and alone in the Iraqi desert. Seven days had gone by when a pair of Marine helicopters, three miles off course, flew overhead and spotted the two waving their arms wildly. Beside them were the letters "SOS" carved in the sand.

Christian "Mac" Ward, a pilot with Marine Aircraft Group 29, which is based at New River Marine Corps Air Station, N.C., and now flies out of a captured Iraqi...
