I wish you could hear them worship – He does.
I wish you could hear their laughter – He does.
I wish you could HEAR THEM PRAY – HE DOES

Thank YOU for praying…
Thanx, Chris Conrad for taking Rock – FOOD !

Wow. Having just spent time with my youngest brother and SIL and their 7 week old who she nurses, I have seen tired first hand from sleep deprivation, but not from walking to get somewhere. I love the beautiful truth that while I cannot and need not hear them pray there in Africa, He does. And their prayers are just as important to Him as Billy Graham’s. (Or you pick the person, I think you know what I mean. The parable of the widows mite comes to mind…) would that I want Jesus that badly, and not take Him for granted!
