I am here to give you an excerpt and then send you over toFor Every Mom dot-com. She has well written a piece that is so close to my heart; one that I’d like to preach on the housetop but for now I’m just sharing here.
“Raising An Esther in A Miley Cyrus World?
It sounds almost impossible.
But, moms, hear me. It is so important that we try.
Here’s why…..
She was beautiful.
Her long, blonde hair was pulled into a perfect messy bun on top of her head. Her skin was golden, evidence of lazy days spent poolside, being kissed by the sun. She was thin but fit, maybe a gymnast or dancer. Her string bikini was white and left little to the imagination. Hips swaying, chest pushed out, she walked with a confidence that demanded to be noticed. My kids were playing in the kiddie pool in front of me but I glanced away from them to catch one more look at her as she passed. And I felt a sudden heavy sadness.
Why?
Because she was maybe 12.”

Praying God’s Word.Beth Moorewrote such a book. I have a copy. See?
It’s one of those books you read again and again. The table of contents will direct you with specific prayer need topics. Clicking the picture here will lead you to a place to purchase, if you are interested. But I’m off point. My intent today was to simply pray the Word of God over us.
The Bible contains many prayers and we can’t go wrong praying them over ourselves and others. I keyed in I pray at BibleGateway dot-com and discovered 413 Scripturereferences. ClickHEREif you’d like to review them. In the meantime, lets pray.
Philippians 1:9I pray that your [our] love will overflow more and more, and that you [we] will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding.10 For I want you [us] to understand what really matters, so that you [we] may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return.11 May you[we] always be filled with the fruit of your [our] salvation—the righteous character produced in your life [our lives] by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God [our Abba Father]. source[bracketed mine]
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
