Sunday Prayer

Captain’s Log, Stardate 03.18.2007

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 e-mail me. If I forgot your prayer request, e-mail me. Not to be mean or anything, but if you don't e-mail me or comment to update your prayer request, I'm only going to pray ONE Sunday.

I’m trying something new with my Sunday Prayer. I’m really bad about doing it on Sunday, so I’ll be updating it during the week.



Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank you that Squirl’s hard drive wasn’t too bad and Geek Squad could recover all her files, and thank you that they’re actually fixing the laptop, too.

Please help Missy’s friend have a positive attitude and outlook, and I pray the spots on his liver are benign. I also pray the surgery will go very well.

Be with Jennifer T. and her family. Help the house rebuilding go quickly and smoothly. Let everything go well with the insurance company. Give her and her family peace and comfort during this time.

Be with Jane O.’s family. Comfort them and surround them with your presence.

Help Ronie with the changes happening in her life. Help her to stay strong and supple in the storm. Give her your strength and resilience and love. Help her boys do well in school and help the teachers better respond to their needs.

Please be with Sharon S. and her family right now. Give them your comfort and strength.

I lift up Dana and her husband, and pray you’ll provide speaking opportunities for them to build up their team and support.

I lift up Ruth’s cat Salty and pray you’ll ease her suffering, whether by healing or taking her. Please give Ruth wisdom and please spare her the pain of having to put her down.

I lift up Wendy’s computer. Please help the computer techs be able to retrieve ALL her files without problems and with minimum cost.

Give Kristin’s fingers speed to finish her book in the next week. Help the moving in proceed smoothly and without stress or hassle. Help her book develop as you want it to.

Hi Camy!

How sweet you are to pray for people you've never actually met. :)

My husband and I are missionaries with Wycliffe Bible Translators. We plan to leave for Tanzania, East Africa in late July. We are currently raising the financial support to go. My prayer request is for speaking opportunities where we can present our ministry and invite people to partner with us in this venture and for God to build our team of both prayer and financial partners.

Thanks so much!

BTW - the cover of your book - the Sushi one... It's so vibrant - it makes me want to get the book NOW. :)

Hi Camy,
Thanks for posting about your prayer list...boy did I need to read that this morning. I am really torn up inside...one of my precious cats, Salty, is off her food in a major way. She eats just little bits at a time, only when really coaxed. But she's drinking and still very alert. I am just heartbroken over seeing her look so frail. Please pray for wisdom, for me and an potential treatment, and also God's mercy. My heart-prayer is that if this is her time, He'll just take her in her sleep and I won't have to make the call to have her put down.
Thank you so much!
Ruth

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 ...

I sold to Steeple Hill!

Captain's Log, Supplemental Remember that romantic suspense proposal I blogged about earlier? Well, it just sold to Steeple Hill’s Love Inspired Suspense line! I am so jazzed! I am beyond jazzed! The story’s working title is Sinister Spa The story's title is Deadly Intent and here’s a blurb (but it’s probably not what will appear on the back of the book): Massage therapist Naomi Grant could use a massage herself. With her father at home recovering from a stroke, Naomi is put in charge of the family’s elite day spa in Sonoma county. The new responsibilities sit awkwardly on her shoulders, and things only get worse when handsome Dr. Devon Knightley breezes into the spa, demanding to see one of the female clients. And the woman is found dead in Naomi’s massage room. Suddenly, Naomi is a suspect and her family’s spa is shut down. How could God let this awful thing happen? Devon only needed to see his ex-wife about a family necklace she still hadn’t returned, but when she dies 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...

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...
