Day of Prayer for Sudan!
“Christian leaders from more than 1,000 churches in north and south Sudan are urging believers worldwide to join them for their National Day of Prayer on August 1.
“Christians, wherever you are, just kneel down somewhere and pray,” said Pastor James, a local church leader in Khartoum. “We feel that it is very important for the Church to fast and pray.”
Sudan is moving into a critical time of transition. National elections are scheduled for January, 2010, followed by a historic referendum for independence for Southern Sudan in 2011.
Believers in Sudan have been fasting and praying for their nation during the week leading up to the National Day of Prayer on Saturday.
“We are praying for the nation of Sudan,” Pastor James said. “It is not a political thing. We are praying for our President. We are praying for God’s protection and that there will be no conflict between the north and the south.”
PLEASE PRAY FOR:
• Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir, President of Sudan
• Salva Kiir Mayardit, President of Southern Sudan
• A peaceful election in January
• The vote on independence for Southern Sudan in 2011
• Revival and prayer in local churches
• Lasting peace throughout Sudan
The people of Southern Sudan suffered through two decades of bloody civil war that claimed more than two million lives before the Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed in 2005. A sustained peace is critical over the next two years as sensitive negotiations and historic elections frame the future of the nation.
Please pray with believers around the world for Sudan on August 1. ”

flyin’ on Lake Vic
I just got back from a three day flight around Lake Victoria, through Tanzania, Uganda and back to Kenya. That is a big lake! Here are a few pictures from the trip, which was a great one! (We even spent a few hours out on a boat fishing for Nile perch).

my right foot
Right now, my toe moves in directions it shouldn’t. I was carrying Liam through the house and smashed my foot into a leg of the sofa and broke my ring (?) toe. Nope, I didn’t drop him or cuss. Coincidentally, it was the same foot that I dropped a full 55 gallon drum of Jet fuel on earlier this week. Needless to say, my right foot is hoping this week is better than the last.

Common Sense May Sink ObamaCare
Thumbs up to the Democrats who recognize this health care plan is an awful idea (short-term and long-term). I was afraid Obama was going to be able to sneak this one past as he tries to ride out the dying wave of public hysteria over the economy. I am working on a post summarizing my problems with this bill as well as the continued mantra that the government can fix our problems.
