Closing Words - 
One Minute Each Night - (from one of our readers)

In WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace.

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America.  If you would like to participate: Each evening at 9:00PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central) (6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops and for a Godly nation.

If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along.  Someone said if Christians really understood the full extent of the power of prayer, we might be speechless.  Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.

Thank You, and God Bless America
