Sunday prayer

Captain’s Log, Stardate 12.04.2005

I’ll continue Mary Griffith’s blog tour tomorrow with an excerpt from MADE OF HONOR.

I missed church today because my husband is sick and my leg is still too delicate for me to go out. So how about Sunday prayer?

Anybody have prayer requests? Leave them in the comments and I’ll be praying this week.

This isn’t to sound Holier-Than-Thou or anything like that. I don’t have very reverent prayers sometimes, but I do believe in the power of prayer to my powerful Lord.

You don’t have to be Christian to leave a prayer request. If you’d rather not advertise to everyone on the blogosphere, just leave an unspoken prayer request.

For me, my upper back has been killing me because I’m so uneven from not being able to put my full weight on one leg.

I’m also going to add Squirl’s missions trip to India during the month of December, Pammer’s disappearing time, Heather’s new book projects, Dineen's distracted writing time, and a plug for a laptop for Robin.

Anybody else? If I don't mention you, it's only cuz I don't know what to pray about for you, or if you want your prayer requests mentioned publicly.

Lord God, I praise you for today, for your glory over all the earth. Thank you for your grace over us. Thanks that my post-op recovery has been going so well. Thanks for Dineen being able to drive me to PT. Thanks for the work the Story Sensei has gotten recently.

Please be preparing Squirl for her trip, in her heart, mind, and body. Watch over her family, and help her not to worry, but to trust you to have your hand over them.

Help Pammer continue to write for your glory. We pray against any feelings of inadequacy and distractions. Help her to keep moving forward and stop rewriting chapter one!

Thank you for speaking to Heather about future direction in her writing. Continue to lead and guide her. Give her your strength to do what you want her to do.

Help Dineen focus during her writing time with you. I pray against any spiritual warfare going on in her household.

You know I want your will over any of ours, but if you can see to it, please help Robin somehow get a laptop for her writing.

Please heal my back so that I don’t have pain or discomfort any more. Please enable me to get to the chiropractor.

Thanks for all my friends in the blogosphere. Amen.

Amen. And if you are in the mood for a post script, please pray for my book to be seen by the right publisher. Also pray that God will direct my husband into the right ministry job. Thank you!

Amen! Thank you so much, I am humbled by the gift of your sweet prayer.

BTW, I stopped rewriting Chapter one ages ago, now I'm stuck on chapter two. :0 Joking, I am moving forward again. (Maybe has something to do with your faithful prayers.)
Hugs to you. Love ya!

Oh I nearly forgot, could you pray for Jules? The mammogram showed two masses one on each side and the one in the right side is the size of a quarter and solid. Pray that it is not cancerous. Thanks again.

Toilet seat cover

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Update August 2008: I wrote up the pattern for this with "improvements"! Here's the link to my No Cold Bums toilet seat cover ! Okay, remember a few days ago I was complaining about the cold toilet seat in my bathroom? Well, I decided to knit a seat cover. Not a lid cover, but a seat cover. I went online and couldn’t find anything for the seat, just one pattern for the lid by Feminitz.com . However, I took her pattern for the inside edge of the lid cover and modified it to make a seat cover. Here it is! It’s really ugly stitch-wise because originally I made it too small and had to extend it a couple inches on each side. I figured I’d be the one staring at it, so who cared if the extension wasn’t perfectly invisible? I used acrylic yarn since, well, that’s what I had, and also because it’s easy to wash. I’ll probably have to wash this cover every week or so, but it’s easy to take off—I made ties which you can see near the back of the seat. And...

Chinese Take-Out and Sushi for One

Captain’s Log, Supplemental My agent sent me an article from Publisher’s Weekly that discussed this incident: Chinese Take-Out Spawns Christian Controversy And here’s also a blog post that talks about it in more detail: The Fighting 44s This is Soong-Chan Rah’s blog: The PCS blog In sum: Apparently Zondervan (yes, my publisher), who has partnered with Youth Specialties, had put out a youth leaders skit that had stereotypical Asian dialogue, which offended many Christian Asian Americans. In response to the outcry, Zondervan/Youth Specialities put out a sincere apology and is not only freezing the remaining stock of the book, but also reprinting it and replacing the copies people have already bought. I am very proud of my publisher for how they have handled this situation. The skit writers have also issued a public apology . (I feel sorry for them, because they were only trying to write a funny skit, not stir up this maelstrom of internet controversy. I’ve been in youth work long enou...

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures...

Excerpt - A HUNDRED YEARS OF HAPPINESS by Nicole Seitz

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.05.2009 Update: Sorry, this giveaway is closed. A Hundred Years of Happiness by Nicole Seitz A beautiful young woman. An American soldier. A war-torn country. Nearly forty years of silence. Now, two daughters search for the truth they hope will set them free and the elusive peace their parents have never found.

Brainstorm - character occupation

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.23.2009 Hey guys, I could use some help. In my current manuscript, The Year of the Dog , which is a humorous contemporary romance, I have a minor character, Eddie. He’s my heroine’s ex-boyfriend, and they’re on good terms with each other. He’s a bit irresponsible, but not so much so that he’s a complete loser. He’s got a very easy going attitude, he forgets to pay his bills sometimes, he’s friendly and charming. He’s adventurous and fun to be around, but he’s a little forgetful sometimes, and he tends to spend a little outside his income. I need an occupation for him. What would a charming, easy going, slightly irresponsible guy do for a living? He’s not too irresponsible, because otherwise readers will wonder what in the world my heroine saw in him to date him in the first place. She was attracted to his charm, his easy going attitude (her family’s uptight, and he was a nice contrast), and his adventurousness. But his forgetfulness and irresponsibility ...
