I will be starting my annual retreat on August 8, so send me your prayer intentions by Saturday evening. 

If you get these posts by email, all you have to do is reply to the email and I will receive your Prayer Intentions that way. Otherwise, post your intentions in the comments. I have content moderation on, so nothing will be published; it's just a way for me to receive your petitions.

I have pre-scheduled the Bible posts so we can keep on track with the daily readings. 

Please pray for me throughout next week, as well. I know that Jesus has big plans, but I have devised many creative strategies for resisting his mercies. You have to team up with Jesus against me on this!
