Sunday Prayer

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.05.2006

Leave any prayer requests in the comments and I’ll be praying this week. 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 or email me. Not to be mean or anything, but if you don't email me or comment to update your prayer request, I'm only going to pray 3 Sundays.

Name above all names, we praise you.

Father, please comfort the grieving and give them the peace that only you can cover them with.

Give Christina the strength and guidance she needs as she finishes her time in Japan serving you. Thank you for her servant's heart.

Please be with Heather as she works through the things you spoke to her about. Give her courage and trust, and thank you for her desire to love you more.

Help Pammer overcome her fear, and thank you for how you've led her so far. Please continue to blanket her with your presence.

I pray for healing for Squirl's hip. Please give her and her doctors wisdom about what to do.

Please continue to help Gail to heal smoothly, and I pray you will help Brenda's chemo treatments to go well. Please ease her discomfort, Lord, and I pray for healing for her body.

Give your comfort and peace to Margaret's friend, diagnosed with bone cancer.

Continue to help Donna C. as she recovers from heart stent surgery. Please patch up her tired body.

Give Dream your strength, power, and calm. Help her to continue to walk with you in joy and good humor.

I pray for Sigrun's sister-in-law's parents, that they will come to know you.

Please continue to help Zola's chemo go smoothly.

For my friends married to non-believers, grant them your wisdom this week.

I lift up your persecuted church, Father, and ask for your favor on them.

Please continue to help me to heal smoothly from surgery. Give me discipline in all these areas of my life, and help me to continue to persevere for you, Lord.

All will see how great is our God. Amen.

Bible in 90 Days: Day 53. God asked a LOT from poor Ezekiel. But he did it all without complaining, and I can't imagine how terrified he must have been by all these visions of the Lord's glory. The most profound image for me was the Lord's presence leaving the temple in Jerusalem. How astounding and humbling that Christ would enter the temple years later--the presence of God returned--and no one would recognize him.

Writing: Got a lot of great plot points done yesterday. The story's taking shape with more colors than it had before.

Diet: Did not so great yesterday--maybe 1600 or 1700--although I did stop eating around 9:20 pm (only 20 minutes late). I had a LOT of Greek food for lunch, but we're going for a walk this afternoon and I'll have vegetable soup for dinner.

I really appreciate the prayers. Amber Faith Elizabeth is a real sweetie pie, but we've been struggling with figuring out what I'm eating that makes her tummy cramp so bad. I need wisdom. :) Plus, my healing is going much slower than I'd like...patience was never my thing. :)

Thanks again for the prayers...it means a lot to know someone is praying.
Thank you so much for the prayers Camy. I so appreciate them. Love you!

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...

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...

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. In the South Carolina Lowcountry, a young mother named Katherine Ann is struggling to help her tempestuous father, by plunging into a world of secrets he never talks about. A fry cook named Lisa is trying desperately to reach her grieving Vietnamese mother, who has never fully adjusted to life in the States. And somewhere far away, a lost soul named Ernest is drifting, treading water, searching for what he lost on a long-ago mountain. They're all longing for connection. For the war that touched them to finally end. For their hundred years of happiness at long last to begin. From the beloved author of The Spirit of Sweetgrass...

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 ...
