I just finished writing Year of the Dog ! It had a massive plot hole that I had to fix which turned out to be more work than I expected. Here’s a snippet: “Hey, Auntie Nell.” He wrapped his arms around her, bussing her on the cheek and breathing in pikake flowers and shortbread cookies. And suddenly he was nine years old again, and her solid presence had made his chaotic world stable once more. “What are you doing here?” He usually took her to dinner on Wednesday nights, but today was Tuesday. The edges of her smile faltered a little before brightening right back up again. “What, I can’t visit my nephew?” She angled around him to enter his home. “Is this your new house? Looks lovely.” Which was a blatant lie, because the fixer-upper was barely livable, much less acceptable to a neat-freak like his aunt. She also left four matching pink and purple floral suitcases on the stoop behind her. Only then did Ashwin notice the cab driver standing slightly to the side of the walkway. “Can ...

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, 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 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,
Thank you for another day with you.
I pray for complete healing for Bruce, Doug, Malia, Helen, and Tony.
Please deliver justice to Case swiftly. I lift up him and his family to you.
Please help me to be faithful and disciplined this month with all the things I need to do.
Amen.

I am also really wanting to lose 100 pounds for health reasons as I am dieting and excercising. Please pray that the Lord continues to help me discipline my body to do what it is supposed to reach this goal.
I am praying for healing of my brain for OCD, bipolar2, as I am aware this is a chemical imbalance, and not spiritual oppression. I pray a few hours a day in the Holy Spirit, and have forgiven those people who think this is caused by "spirits"I am also praying for strength to overcome compulsive behaviour with the help of a good psychiatrist! Thank you Lord for doctors-you use them many ways to heal us from illnesses of sorts.
My whole family needs healing from past emotional abuse coming from a man in prison(my warlock devil posessed father), and my foot needs continued healing from arthritis. Thanks for your prayers and be blessed,and lastly, our whole Dreher family needs deliverance from the deaf & dumb spirit(which is mentioned in the Bible as causing mental problems, hearing problems)I pray for the Blood of Jesus to cover the entire Dreher family and their hearing with the BLOOD OF JESUS!

Watch out devil, I am coming after you. I am Gods' battleaxe and weapons of war for righteousness! Every time, the devil tries to send seductive men to violate my Covenant of integrity, they ALWAYS fall under conviction for their sins and keep their grubby hands to themselves!
