Father, help this person overcome temptation and become happy and holy to the glory of your Name. Mother Mary, pray for him. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.<\/p>\n

I have a praise report. My brother, his wife and her daughter were driving in Idaho and hit a family of deer at 80 MPH. Miraculously, nobody was hurt. Thanks be to God through our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

I would also like to ask prayer for a friend who is struggling with depression, and for another friend with Stage IV pancreatic cancer, and for a young girl who has received a kidney transplant, that her infection would heal.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m raising funds for Peter\u2019s Pence and Abby\u2019s And Then There Were None Ministry<\/a> by selling Papal Flag bumper stickers. She is the busiest she has ever been, and, with God\u2019s grace, she may be helping more former abortion workers than ever before. I hope that you\u2019d say a prayer for our fundraising success and consider telling people about this effort.<\/p>\n

The website for the stickers is PetersMark.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
