My Desktop Photo 2: Atlin Lake

Changing it again, this time to one of Atlin Lake in June two years ago.  Can you tell I’m impatient for the seasonal changes to hurry up and happen?

Which is the second commandment?

The second commandment is, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Petitionary Prayer: April 8

This month’s theme here at Rebecca Writes is petitionary prayer. On Tuesdays and Fridays throughout April, I’ll be posting one request I am making of God, and I’m inviting you to join me. You’ll find all the details here.

• Today I prayed for youngest son, who is in his last week of classes. He is juggling several big assignments that are due in the next few days and is feeling the pressure. I’m asking that God give him the motivation, energy and clear thinking he needs to do what is required of him. Essentially, I’m asking God to rescue him from a pickle of his own making. Then, too, I’m asking that God teach son what he needs to learn from this experience.
• Staci at Writing and Living is asking for “the energy to get all the closets cleaned out.”
• Pam asks that we pray for her health:

  I am down with pneumonia … Dr.wanted me in hospital but I asked to stay home. I go to his office for breathing treatments, on steroids, antibiotics, etc. Finally starting to breathe easier. Missing work and don’t have much energy. I am asthmatic which compounds things. Haven’t even been blogging, just reading. Prayers would be appreciated.
