Iron Sharpener's Meeting

Aliright men, we are set to meet again tomorrow (Friday) once again. We posted a challenge to each other to pray for and with our wives. How did you do? I have to admit that I have missed the last two days and a couple at the beginning. Other than those, I have been blessed to pray with my wife, daily. What a difference that made in both of our days!

It was blessing to pray with Pam, and I look forward to more encouragement from all of you to keep going. I don't want to stop now, I need to make this a habit. So, pray for me on that. Ask God to make praying for and with my wife a daily habit. Thanks for your support.

On another note, we a discussing the feasability/possibility of meeting twice a month. It just doesn't seem much more than good fellowship, meeting once per month. I think there would be better accountability and encouragement and strength in meeting twice per month. Give me some feedback, let me know what you think.

And just to tease y'all, I spoke with Doug Wintle last night, and he share a little with me about what God has revealed to him and how He is working in Doug's life. Trust me on this, you won't want to miss it! See you tomorrow!

Pray With Your wife

Men, let me tell you something. I have been praying with my wife for two whole days! I know, this doesn't seem like a great accomplishment, and it really isn't. After I have prayed with her every day for a whole month, then we'll talk.

However, I wanted to share with you the feeling of joy in my heart that I have experienced the last two days. I feel tremendously blessed to have prayed with my wife. I feel closer to her already. I can't wait to go to work and call her at 8:00 as I stated that I would do. I just know that my days will be perfect and never have another trial....NOT! But, when those trials come, and they will, I know that I can face them stronger, willingly and for the glory of God. All because my wife and I prayed.

Here is something that I picked up that can help you pray with and for, your wife. I purpose to pray this for my wife tomorrow (Monday). Pray that she is a woman of contentment and joy and that her mind would first seek the Kingdom of God and that she is far from covetousness. Some scriptures to go along with it: Heb. 13:5; 1 Tim 6:8; Matt6:31-33.

Men, I want you to hold me to this. I also challenge you to do the same.

Iron Sharpeners

Guys, we had an excellent meeting last night! I was so blessed and encouraged, I cannot express it. Thank you to all who attended. For those of you who missed it, please make plans to attend the next one, the last Friday of March. You won't be sorry!

Here is something to think about: "A true patriarch never demands respect; he inspires his children to greatness through example." -Michael Pearl

Men, I am counting on you to hold me accountable, as we talked about in the meeting. Let me also encourage you to pray with and FOR your wives and children. God is waiting to talk to you.

God bless!

This Fight Gets Tough

Do something about abortion: Red Envelope Campaign

The idea is simple. Bombard the White House with red envelopes to remind President Obama that the majority of Americans do not support his abortion policy.
You can participate easily, as often as you want. Just send an empty red envelope to the address below. Don't have a red envelope? Make one out of construction paper. Or make 50. Address them to:

President Barack ObamaThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Ave NWWashington, DC 20500

Seal it and write the following message on the back:

This envelope represents one child who died in abortion. It is empty because that life was not allowed to offer anything to the world.Life begins with conception.
Stamp it, mail it, and invite others to do the same.

Building the Tabernacle

Hello all!

The Powers family did something really cool acouple of Sunday's ago! We built the Tabernacle! Or, at least, we built a model of it. This makes for a really neat homeschool project and a great biblical lesson. So, if you're interested, you can see the whole thing with a link to the site from which we got it, all at our farm blog at Cedar Cove Farm. Please take a look, you won't regret it. It akes forever to upload all the pictures, so, rather than do it a second time here, just use the link to our personal blog.

See you soon, and enjoy!
