Prayer Walk Follow Up
Prayer Walk Follow Up
Thanks everyone for coming out for a great prayer walk on Monday. We also had a great prayer call on Tuesday. I love the fact that we can all pray; some pray out loud, some pray silently, some prayer in other ways. We also have a monthly prayer call every third Tuesday of the month. Anyway we pray is a good way.
Below are some links to prayer and prayer walking. Thanks to Gayle for the first link on prayer walks. Be sure to check this blog to pray for others or be prayed for. If you have difficulties posting, just email your request to me and I'll post it.
I am praying for our entire HF staff today, please join me.
Also special prayer goes out to Alice and her family in the loss of her Mother.

Marguerite Petty Plunkett
April 18, 1920-March 14, 2013
Marguerite Petty Plunkett, 92, passed away peacefully on the evening of March 14, 2013, at the Lane House Nursing Care Center, where she had resided for 10 years.
Marguerite was born April 18, 1920, in Hindsville, Ill., to William E. and Bessie J. Petty. She attended New Ross High School and graduated from Crawfordsville High School in 1938. Marguerite married Vance Pyle on Sept. 6, 1941. Vance was killed in World War II on July 28, 1944. She then married James Marvin Plunkett on Oct. 4, 1947.
Marguerite worked at JC Penney for 31 years. She began her career with JC Penney at the downtown store as a salesperson in the Children’s Department. She then moved to the Fabric Department where her sewing hobby proved helpful. She transferred to the new store in the Boulevard Mall in 1968. She was known for her wonderful sewing skills and also for the beautiful quilts she made.
Marguerite and her husband were avid sports fans and missed very few Athenian football and basketball games. They were faithful in going to their grandchildren’s activities as long as they were able.
Marguerite was also a member of First Christian Church and the Ladies Circle.
Marguerite is survived by three children, Vance (Shirley) Pyle, Crawfordsville, Alice (David) Jordan, Garland, Texas, and Jim of Fort Wayne. She also had nine grandchildren, Kimberly (Jeff) McMurry, Darlington, Lori (Brian) Thompson, New Market, Brian (Leslie) Pyle, Crawfordsville, Paula (Jack) Yates, Irving, Texas, Aaron (Marolyn) Jordan, Justin, Texas, Adam Jordan, Garland, Texas, Sara Sigman, Lakeland, Fla., Paul Plunkett, Fort Wayne, and Cherie (Paul) Sipes, Milwaukee, Wisc. She had 16 great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter.
Marguerite is survived by her sisters-in-law, Katherine Plunkett and Alberta Petty, and by nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husbands; sisters, Beuleh Hutchinson, Ruby Rush and Irene Allen; brother Dr. Leonard Petty; and great-granddaughter Ella Claire Pyle.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Marguerite’s memory to the Providence Center for Urban Leadership Development, P.O. Box 13946, Denver, CO 80202.
Funeral services will be Tuesday, March 19, at 10:30 a.m. at Powers-Priebe Funeral Home, Crawfordsville, with the Rev. Jim Ranard officiating. Burial will be in the Oak Hill Grant Avenue Cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home on Monday, March 18, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Grace
Grace
Words lose their meaning and this is certainly the case here. Having grown up in a Christian home, i have know the official nomenclature for my tribe. The reason i chose to understand this word a little better is because i feel i give less grace to others than i should. Like most profound words there is an ethereal, probably Divine understanding of the word as well as an intertwined attempt at incarnation..
The concept existed before the New Testament but the Greek word charis was a concept was borrowed from Hebrew (chanun) which was a more complicated and abstract word for beauty then Divinised later to be married with the practical where it currently remains. The picture i get is a young, innocent teenage female with proper attire, indescribable beauty and impeccable character; kinda like the unattainability of a 12 year old future queen with the practicality of the girl next door.
So i lack this virtue and now that i understand it more will endeavor to possess, model and give it more.
My actions to people will be more beautiful
I will lavish more upon others
I will look away from judgement and justice
I will be nice, be patient, look for the good in others and smile a lot more
Bono, take it home...
A precursory google indicated grace was: a restaurant in Fort Worth , a Christian concept as noted by several dictionary sites, a Christian ministry, a chemical company (Grace being the name of the founder), a popular name for a church and then comes the rest of the internet. End of day it is a Christian term and a name. I think Bono has it right, "It's a name for a girl, It's also a thought that, Changed the world"

She takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name
