Praise Report and the Rest of the Trip

Wow! You saints sure do know how to pray! Thank you so much. :)

I have slept a solid, deep sleep for 6 1/2 and 6 hours the past two nights (my norm) and feel truly refreshed. My devotional time has been awesome, and I am pressing on into the Word for more and more of the insight from the Father's heart in several areas that I believe are relevant and so very important for this time. I would like to deal with one of these - some thoughts and a call to prayer and inetercession concerning our upcoming elections and related areas - in my next post.

Friday we leave for Curitiba. The weather turned bitter cold with heavy downpours of rain, so we got that real deep chilling effect from the cold and the dampness combined. Curitiba is even further south (away from the equator!), and everyone here keeps telling me that Curitiba is much, much colder than it is here! (Thanks, a lot :). Oh well, I've got that wonderful fire of the Holy Ghost keeping my heart warm and I am not suffering from any cold or flu systems, so I will put on layers of clothes, shiver and bless God! Then again, I think I'll ask the Father to turn up His atmospheric thermostat, if He would be so kind, and "enjoy the ride."

I have no idea of the agenda for this last stop of the trip. Therefore, knowing from past experience that I can have anywhere from 4 to 7 messages to give between Friday night, and Sunday, and, if the traditional pattern is followed, knowing that one of these services will be specifically for leadership and one will be specifically for the "joven" - teens and young adults - I am preparing in prayer and study accordingly.

Deus abençoe, Irmãos! (God bless you, Brothers! - (Sisters included! "Brothers" is generic, you know, like saints :)
