The title has very little to do with the post. I heard it on TV and thought it was hilarious (mostly because the dude definitely did NOT “exuberate fantastikisms”).
I have two prayer requests. The first is for a friend who is going through some difficult times in her pregnancy. As of today, she’s about 27 weeks pregnant, and there are some serious complications. Let’s just say things aren’t where they should be, and the doctors are probably going to take the baby out soon. Right now it’s too early, but they’re keeping her in the hospital until they think it’s safe to go in via cesarean section and take him out. Pray for her health and safety as well as the health and safety of the baby.
The second is less life-and-death, but still worthy of prayer. A Christian coffee shop near my office is struggling really bad. They’ve lost a lot of money, but the owner feels called to keep trusting God and keep it open. They went to court and are going to be able to stay open until October (three weeks ago they were staying open on a day-by-day basis). If you’re not really sure what separates a Christian coffee house from other coffee joints, there really isn’t a whole lot of difference. Basically from what I’ve seen the music selection is different, and this one has a small book section that has only Christian books. Plus they have musical performers, all Christian, and in general knowing the management is Christian makes me sleep better paying for coffee (and the prices seem more reasonable). The only reason they are going under is they don’t have enough for advertising so they have trouble getting the place known (it’s only been there for a year or so). It would be great if you could pray for the shop and its owners who are trying to follow a calling from the Lord even though it looks really bad right now. They’re experiencing what a heavy cross feels like.
That’s all for today.
