Your prayers please

At the moment, I'm in the middle of my last couple college applications. I'm applying to Point Loma, Cal Baptist, Biola, Gonzaga, and College of Idaho. Please pray that I can write these last few essays well. In addition if you would keep me in your prayers as I go through all these college decisions. I'd love to go to school down in California, but Gonzaga and College of Idaho are great schools as well. I'm going to have to see what scholarships I get and which situation works out best for me. Please pray for me as I go through these decisions.

On a different note, I've been wanting to remind any readers that you can easily subscribe to my blog. You can enter your email address in the box on the right. After confirming your email address, you'll only be emailed if I submit a new blog update. This way it can save you time, you'll only visit the blog if there's something new to read.

Finally, it's become a little bit more common, but feel free to comment on any of my blog entries. I love to hear feed back; if you like reading about something, let me know. A confidential critic, said that my blog was too repetitive, the stories all the same. To help me avoid this problem, let me know what you like to read, and I'll try to focus more on those stories or details in the future.

Thank you for your prayers and support!

Under His Mercy,
Joel

PS - The last few days have been a taste of what I may experience in the near future. We had our first rain of the year. The power, and thereby the internet went down. Now we've discovered that our well pump is down and could be for a few days. Sounds like we could all be a little bit smellier. Thank God for deodorant!
