Happy Friday, Friends! I hope you've had a productive week.
I have great news. I have been having problems with my computer for months. I have been blogging using Trip's laptop, but he uses it for work, so I was having to get up super early to use it before he left for work.
Trip was so sweet because he surprised me with a new desktop computer! It is so nice, and it has plenty of storage unlike my old iMac. Once they complete the process of sending my date from my old computer to the new one, I will be set. I am so excited!
What are your thoughts about this week's lesson? I enjoy studying the Psalms, and I agree that there is no greater resource for an extra dose of bravery. Each year when I read through the Bible and reach the Psalms, I always make a list of the ones that speak to me that year. It's fun for me to compare my favorites from year to year.
One of my very favorite Psalms for bravery is Psalm 91, and it is one of the four that Farrell mentions in her lesson:
Each day we are encouraged to put on the Full Armor of God, and that includes the Sword of the Spirit: The Word of God, which is the only offensive weapon in the armor, used to counter spiritual attacks. Fear is a spiritual attack because according to 2 Timothy 1:7, "God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." The Psalms are a wonderful weapon to help us stand strong.
Do you have a favorite Psalm?
Here is the Bible verse from the beginning of our lesson:
Prayer Requests
- Pray for Rita as she mourns the loss of her sister.
- Please keep Rita's neighbor Chris in prayer as she battles her cancer.
- Kitty's son Mike and his friend are working on a game for a company and need to have it done in three months and have a verbal agreement for another game. Prayers that they can get this done. Also, pray that they will get good news on a proposal (a separate project).

- Carla's prayer request is for all the young people entering the military, the love they feel for the USA to become warriors to fight to keep us free. She is so thankful, as we all are!
