Good Morning again.

I think that I've told you before that "blogging" is all new to me. I've just had an email where the words were written in txt spk. I got the meaning on npb after thinking about it for a while!

Well, guess my interest/amazement/concern when I found that this blog had two "followers"? What could that mean and why were they following me?

It turned out that I knew both of them. At least, I know a little about both of them, although we have never met each other. One lives in the USA and the other on the South coast of England and as yet we haven't met face to face.

Maybe we will never meet face to face until we get to heaven. All of us are Christian Believers and so I know that we will meet one day. It is Jesus who made the promise that He was preparing a place for us. Well actually, He said that it was already prepared. God doesn't hang about - He has known, always known, all about us and in His scheme our earthly time scale doesn't interfere with the plans which He has already finalised.

So I learnt a lesson today. The lesson that I just need to keep on following.

One more piece of information which has just come my way.

At the start of 2000, over five hundred churches of different denominations in France embarked on a week of prayer for their nation. The project was repeated on a larger scale in 2001 with Christians from many nations spending forty days leading up to Easter in Prayer, some of them including days of fasting as well.

I don't know if anyone who reads this will be one of the people who prayed back then. But I do want them to know that we are here, as an answer to their prayers.

Never allow the old enemy to tell you that prayer doesn't get anywhere, or change anything.

So keep on following and keep on praying.

May God bless you this week.
