Romans 1

8-12 I thank God through Jesus for every one of you. That's first. People everywhere keep telling me about your lives of faith, and every time I hear them, I thank him. And God, whom I so love to worship and serve by spreading the good news of his Son—the Message!—knows that every time I think of you in my prayers, which is practically all the time, I ask him to clear the way for me to come and see you. The longer this waiting goes on, the deeper the ache. I so want to be there to deliver God's gift in person and watch you grow stronger right before my eyes! But don't think I'm not expecting to get something out of this, too! You have as much to give me as I do to you.

I don't...wonder what would happen IF I DID?

My Grandma had a brain hemorrhage. She was life flighted to Springfield, MO. Please pray for our family in this. My Step-Father (Mark) is more of an atheist and had grown very close to my Grandma who is very much a wonderful Christ follower. She has impacted his life hugely. Please pray for Mark that his heart will stay soft and open , he's a tough cookie to break through to. I believe Christ was working through Grandma to touch Mark.
