We're at the midway point of this term's classes, hard to believe it is June already.
On a personal note I ask for prayers for my wife Michelle. Her current consulting assignment ends June 30th. I ask you pray for her to get a new assignment, one that she'll find challenging but not overwhelming and a good working relationship with the client's employees.
Also, for my son Cameron's salvation and his continued sobriety.
A heartfelt gratitude for your ongoing prayers and support.
To Him be the glory.
Scott

Dominic - My first speak blessings into your life and your family's life. I first pray for peace in Jerusalem, peace in the US as well as peace in the midst of our storms. My spiritual hunger seems to be not as hungry as it once was and as I get closer to leaving I seemed very irritated and fearful. I am very sad these days, due to my daughter's mother not putting money on the phone to talk to them, like I mentioned before I told her to move on, but still we can be cool but as for me and her being together I feel as if it won't work and when I said it, I felt as if why or how I am saying this and is not what I mean. So I feel as if the Spirit spoke through me. So I feel like that was said in faith, but I still do have feelings and I don't want this. I want my daughter to be with both of her parents. But I'm very saddened by this and it's discouraging. So please intercede on my behalf in agreement with me for both of our issues. Pray as well for Michelle, Cameron and my big brother Scott and family. In Jesus name.
John - First I would like to thank you for praying for me. I would also like to pray that the Lord keeps His hand on your family and bless you for the strength to endure. I would like for you to pray for everyone fighting the good fight. That you would also pray for my family, friends and loved ones in Christ, that he will keep his blessings upon them. That he will give me the courage to proclaim what he has done in my life and may I witnessed this to others. That he will reveal to me what my gift is and what my calling may be before him. Thank you for praying for me and the Lord keep you with an open heart and open mind.
Eric - I pray for all of my kids and family, that they're healthy and safe and blessed. I pray for my brother that he does good and is able to find a job and get to know and love God more. My brother just got out today and I pray that he stays out. I pray that I may get blessed with some good time so I can go home earlier. I pray for my mom and her old man, that things will start looking brighter for the both of them. I pray that I'll get this math down that I'm learning so that I can keep moving forward in school so that I can take my GED test. I pray that I will be able to rid myself of all this hatred that I seem to have hanging over me. I pray that my time will start speeding up a little more faster so that I can get this type over with and home to my family. I pray that I'll be able to build a support system that helps me stay focused on what I'll have to do to put all of this behind me. I pray for J. Engal, M. Cortez, J. Tapscott that they'll come to know God and live for God. Please and thank you.
