Pray for me. I fell away and it's extraordinarily hard getting back on my feet. The world has many chains and anchors and the bonds are hard to break. My mind gets in the way of my heart and my soul is in disarray. Thanks.

No kidding! I always preach about being unplugged, but I'm pretty plugged in, myself. I've started reading my Bible again lately though, and a few rough attempts at prayer. I also try to at least fill in some of my 'plugged in' time with edifying, faithful songs, words and images.[/quote]Baby steps! Too big steps and it's crash and burn!
The world is a PITA!!! It would be so much easier if there wasn't a bazillion things around... esp the material ones (I'm not talking living in a cave here but imagine the world without TV or computers... wow, I'd actually get something done).
Thank you for your prayers and the welcome, Jenn! And everyone else, of course.My mind is the same way... I want to kick my mind in the rear half the time. Haven't come up with a good way yet...
Prayers for you!!! And welcome back!!!
I know I'm new here, but I have been a long time lurker. On May 10th, my father unexpectedly fell asleep in the lord from a sudden heart attack. He was only 47 and it has come as a complete shock to all of us. I humbly request prayers for myself and for my family in this trying time.
Please keep me, my wife and 3 kids in your prayers. We came to Boston 5 years ago for me to attend Holy Cross. After a year and with a number of difficulties with our oldest son, I was asked to leave the school and not return. Since then we have moved 3 times in the Boston area in 4 years and are now being forced to move yet again. I've got a good job as a computer network administrator but was out of work at the end of last year so we have no savings to put down for a security deposit (around here 3 months rent is typical ($4000-5000 down). I've lost so much of my faith since we came here that I dont even find comfort in the services or prayers anymore. I simply struggle to keep my family in once piece from day to day. All we want is some stability in our lives for a few years to regroup. So thanks for your prayers as I dont have any left.
I have some health issues/concerns I don't want to go into- so please keep me in your prayers- if you will.
