Prayer Requests as of 9/10/2007

Hi Fellow Friends of Prayer: These are our specific needs:
1. Travel reservations, flights etc to be wise in travel decisions.
2. Weather good for travel and no delays, weight limits on suitcases okay and good health for everyone.
3. Care, love and safety over Claire until we get her and wrap her in kisses and love in our arms.
4. Our families while we are gone, Simba and Texie too. Mary Ann's grandmother is ill.
5. Praise God for all friends, loved ones and plans to suceed for God's glory. We love you all! MA and J
