Captain's Log, Stardate 07.26.2009 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 your grace.

I also lift up any of my blog readers in need of physical, emotional, or spiritual healing and pray you will touch them. Be with any blog readers who are out of a job or whose loved ones are unemployed. Please provide for their families and give stability. I pra...
