If she can't, may I ask one of y'all?&lt;br /&gt;Please pray for Jon to feel better and that his shot is at the dr'd come Tues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks,&lt;br /&gt;Claire&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7838152705835850513-3736434064131621657?l=acts2connected.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acts2connected.blogspot.com/feeds/3736434064131621657/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7838152705835850513&amp;postID=3736434064131621657' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7838152705835850513/posts/default/3736434064131621657'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7838152705835850513/posts/default/3736434064131621657'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acts2connected.blogspot.com/2008/04/jons-sick.html' title='Jon&apos;s sick'/><author><name>Acts 2 Connected</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04141730489097341550</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838152705835850513.post-8423013140779583934</id><published>2008-03-27T11:59:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-03-27T12:02:54.841-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Family'/><title type='text'>Connect Group - 3/26/08</title><content type='html'>I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed dinner and the discussion last night.

I know Susan and I could definitely do it one night, but if someone could put together and schedule of "who can do what when", that would be awesome.

Because we need to get this done ASAP, we are going to be at Lake Point Medical Center.  It is a very common procedure and doctors do it all the time, so I am hoping everything goes very smoothly and this will allow her to get well and stay well for a change.

He hasn’t ever had asthma before and they haven’t been able to figure out what might have triggered it. He is back home this week recovering. While Cayden was in the hospital, Amy’s dad was admitted to the hospital and under went emergency heart bypass surgery. They thought he would be able to go home today and due to additional illness, his stay has been extended. Amy’s dad was very active and was supposed to ride in the MS 150 with us, so this was very unexpected. Please pray for them and their family as they recover.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Our babysitter has moved in with her boyfriend and we believe this is a typical domestic violence situation. There was an incident over the weekend and things escalated when she tried to leave. Please pray for her to have strength and to be able to see more clearly that this abuse is not right and help her accept some help in getting out of this bad situation.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I have another good friend Aimee who was laid off last week. Please pray that she is able to stay upbeat and optimistic as she is in search of a new job. Although she worked in the housing industry, this was very unexpected and she had been with this builder for five years. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;My neighbor’s mom has recently had a stroke and they have been caring for her along with our other neighbor (her brother) since about Christmas time. She requires constant care and they have moved her into their home temporarily. Chris has recently taken on a new job and is required to travel out of town a few times a month. His wife Pat is very uneasy being left home alone and now has the added burden of caring for her mom. Please be in prayer for them during this time.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;My dad called this morning and he spent the evening at the hospital with my grandmother. Her blood pressure has gotten too high (very medical, I know) and they have not been able to lower it. They have run every test and have been unable to find anything. Please pray for both my dad and my grandmother. This has been a most difficult time for my dad as he takes on the burden of making sure my grandmother is cared for every day and does everything he can to try and make her comfortable. She has extremely advanced (I can’t remember the numbers anymore) Alzheimer’s and stage 4 breast cancer. Please pray that she may have some peace from these painful ailments and my dad the continued strength to take care of himself.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you all for being such a supportive group of individuals. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Sharon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7838152705835850513-6712898895609067360?l=acts2connected.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acts2connected.blogspot.com/feeds/6712898895609067360/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7838152705835850513&amp;postID=6712898895609067360' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7838152705835850513/posts/default/6712898895609067360'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7838152705835850513/posts/default/6712898895609067360'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acts2connected.blogspot.com/2008/03/prayer-requests.html' title='Prayer Requests'/><author><name>Acts 2 Connected</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04141730489097341550</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838152705835850513.post-3289857220454882412</id><published>2008-03-07T21:51:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2008-03-07T21:58:45.887-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Up-date on Claire</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FhBw6L1EDsw/R9IO01gkg4I/AAAAAAAAADc/fHclLEMkmeA/s1600-h/Claire+Bear.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

So many others in our group are also having difficulties right now and we want you to know that we have been praying for all of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Claire got her treatment today, and once it starts working she will probably have rapid improvement.  As of today I am still without my shot that I was suppose to get last week, but  I should be getting it tomorrow.   Never the  less the withdrawals, from not getting it last week, seem to have past.  I am just very tired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The food has been a lot of help.  Claire has been to unsteady to cook and by the end of the day I could cook but it would currently be a chore.  So the food has lifted a large amount of weight off of me.  I suspect that things will be getting much better in the near future.  Not just for us but everyone in our family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many everyone of you take care and again thanks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jon &amp;amp; Claire&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7838152705835850513-5641691560350250827?l=acts2connected.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acts2connected.blogspot.com/feeds/5641691560350250827/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7838152705835850513&amp;postID=5641691560350250827' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7838152705835850513/posts/default/5641691560350250827'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7838152705835850513/posts/default/5641691560350250827'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acts2connected.blogspot.com/2008/03/thank-you.html' title='Thank You'/><author><name>Acts 2 Connected</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04141730489097341550</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FhBw6L1EDsw/R89IhYXmJcI/AAAAAAAAADU/7Syu3_cabtE/s72-c/Thank+youi.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838152705835850513.post-7712639425813804485</id><published>2008-03-05T10:49:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2008-03-05T10:57:59.863-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Prayer Request for Cameron</title><content type='html'>Hello Family!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to mention that Cam will be having surgery this Friday morning.

&lt;/span&gt;We can already see the fulfillment of Gods gifts to our family as he has given us access to a wonderful building to hold our services and teach our children.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I am positive that this is only a glimpse into the exciting opportunities he has for all of us this coming year.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Along with such opportunities I am sure that there will be some hurdles to over come.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;When they appear know that these are not just obstacles but doors waiting to be open.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;And when these doors are opened we will be given other opportunities to grow.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Also in this New Year we do not stand-alone.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;When facing a hurdle we have been given an ever-growing family to help us.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;And when meeting a goal or receiving a gift we are able to share these achievements with everyone.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;In doing so making us all richer&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Just in the gifts mentioned above we are so rich and he has more for us.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I ask you all before stepping into the New Year sit back and take a look at what he has given you this year.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I do this about every 3 months, should do it more often, but the list is always AMAZING.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;He is so generous.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;In case you need a place to start on your list.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type="1"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;You are here, which gives you the opportunity to serve others. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;You had food on your plate.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;You have cloths on your back.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This is just a starting place.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I will be making my list today.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I encourage us all to make a list and post it.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The blessing that have been provided over the last year will be immense.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;And I guarantee you that we will not even be able to even scratch the surface.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;May we all be blessed in good health, joy and love in this year to come, and may we not ever forget to give You, God, thinks for everything we have and will receive.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;

But it also reminds us that it is for our maturation and for the Lord's edification. when Job refused to curse God but still praise Him, he was doing the same. Perhaps in this, my MS and Jon's asthma are examples of such trials. If this is the case, so be it. But it was comforting to know that the warnings are right there. :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7838152705835850513-5944748253007044346?l=acts2connected.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acts2connected.blogspot.com/feeds/5944748253007044346/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7838152705835850513&amp;postID=5944748253007044346' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7838152705835850513/posts/default/5944748253007044346'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7838152705835850513/posts/default/5944748253007044346'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acts2connected.blogspot.com/2007/12/1-peter-412.html' title='1 Peter 4:12'/><author><name>Acts 2 Connected</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04141730489097341550</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838152705835850513.post-7393873034748524365</id><published>2007-12-14T12:58:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-12-14T14:47:19.752-06:00</updated><title type='text'>From Jon  "God's Man"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FhBw6L1EDsw/R2LrthiSJQI/AAAAAAAAAA0/AzeI68-jYGQ/s1600-h/Job+&amp;amp;+his+Friends.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143932891739333890" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FhBw6L1EDsw/R2LrthiSJQI/AAAAAAAAAA0/AzeI68-jYGQ/s320/Job+%26+his+Friends.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;b&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;. For I know that my Redeemer lives, and he shall stand at last on the earth:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; This is another of the brilliant flashes of faith in Job's otherwise dark and bleak background of crisis and suffering. Perhaps as he considered that future generations would indeed look at his life and words, it stirred him to a triumphant proclamation of faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt; thought about the statement made here&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“For I know that my Redeemer lives, and he shall stand at last on the earth:”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;I do not believe that Job knew that his words would be looked or read by others. Though this was his wish. Instead I believe this is a proclamation of his faith. It is also a proclamation of a living God. His religion is not one that is based on series of acts but a living God that would indeed stand on this earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;This is definitely, prophecy of Jesus Christ and his act to save the human race. The lesson of job is also set as an analogy to the lesson to come with Christ, and the importance Christ’s roll. I never looked closely at the word goel, Though I have heard its definition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“A redeemer was a vindicator of one unjustly wronged. He was a defender of the oppressed. A champion of the suffering. An advocate of one unjustly accused. If you were ever wronged, a redeemer would come and stand beside you as your champion and advocate.” (Lawson)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;I really set down at thought a lot about this statement. Christ was unjustly punished for our crimes. Though he was our goel. He himself after rising will in his second coming be his own goel as well as that for his family. This sounds a little weird but when you think of the Holy Trinity. It is possible for him to vindicate himself as a member of his own family. But more importantly he will be vindicating his entire family, “those of us in Christ.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;This might be hard to see by the definition for goel, which refers to one who vindicates for an unjustified crime. And yet we have committed many crimes. Christ realized this ignorance in humans when he said,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;Note, not to take this out of context he was speaking about a direct circumstance that was happening, but as many things in the Bible the statement can be looked upon as a larger analogy of humankind's unworthy action of ignorance. In forgiveness, death, and rebirth he becomes our goel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;Going along with this statement above is the paragraph by Spurgeon below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;iii. Job was not afraid of judgment because he was confident that the charges against him were false, and that his Redeemer would vindicate him. However, our Redeemer also clears us of our true guilt. "There is another most comforting thought, - that our Vindicator will clear us from true charges as well as false ones. As for the false charges, what do they matter? It is the true ones that really concern us: can Christ clear us from them? Yes, that he can." (Spurgeon)&lt;br /&gt;Christ knows we sin. He even knows of the sins we are not aware of but as our goel and one that took our punishment he clears us from those charges. With our slate being cleared he can truly be our goel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;Did Job know of this long-term analogy he was making? Probably not, but that does not mean that the words are not divinely directed. By no means are these words of just circumstance of the larger picture. In fact there is insight that these words are not circumstance for he says, “For I know” and one of the things he knew was that his Redeemer would stand on this earth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;I stop here because I can type a whole paper if I get going.

This will make me sick but better than the hospital.  The hospital decision is probably 48 hours away.  So I will post if things get worse.  Hopefully I will be at church tomorrow, but like I said this treatment will make me sick if it works.  It just how long it last and when it will hit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any way pray for my stomach to start moving stuff through.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7838152705835850513-7411861374419642909?l=acts2connected.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acts2connected.blogspot.com/feeds/7411861374419642909/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7838152705835850513&amp;postID=7411861374419642909' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7838152705835850513/posts/default/7411861374419642909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7838152705835850513/posts/default/7411861374419642909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acts2connected.blogspot.com/2007/12/please-pray-jon-brooks.html' title='Please Pray &quot; Jon Brooks&quot;'/><author><name>Acts 2 Connected</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04141730489097341550</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838152705835850513.post-9056967771226989852</id><published>2007-12-06T20:46:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-12-06T20:52:46.736-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Prayer Request'/><title type='text'>Pray for Susan and I...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FhBw6L1EDsw/R1i0e3d0_yI/AAAAAAAAAAk/73BQFZayq-A/s1600-h/etbu.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141057417021554466" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FhBw6L1EDsw/R1i0e3d0_yI/AAAAAAAAAAk/73BQFZayq-A/s320/etbu.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We will be heading to East Texas tomorrow (God's country).

Not just for the purpose of checking in on each other and making sure everyone is doing well, but also a forum to share thoughts, experiences, dreams, plans, prayer needs that come up in between our meeting times. So...here it is! I have pushed our group into the world of cyber space. What I would love to see happen here is for us to periodically post things on this blog during the week. Maybe, after you leave our time of discussion other things come to your mind that you would like to share with the rest of us...blog about it. Maybe, you get word that someone in your family is ill and in need of prayer...post it here. Maybe, you have an encounter with someone as you are living life everyday that made you say, "Wow, God was in the middle of that situation"...blog about it. Maybe something is heavy on your heart and you need an outlet to share...here is a place for that. Maybe you would just like to have a place to journal your walk with Christ daily, feel free to use this. Your words could be a huge encouragement to others. If a passage of Scripture you read really impacts you, share it with the rest of us.&lt;br /&gt;My challenge to you is this, add our blogspot to your favorites or maybe even set it as your homepage so you will be certain to check it every time you set down at your computer. I think this will be fun and will really add another element to our family.&lt;br /&gt;Everyone have an awesome day.&lt;br /&gt;Remember last nights challenge. Look for opportunities to share truth with people, we live in a world that is constantly telling lies, the truth will set people free.&lt;br /&gt;Blessings!&lt;br /&gt;Zach&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7838152705835850513-3256599989930714288?l=acts2connected.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acts2connected.blogspot.com/feeds/3256599989930714288/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7838152705835850513&amp;postID=3256599989930714288' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7838152705835850513/posts/default/3256599989930714288'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7838152705835850513/posts/default/3256599989930714288'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acts2connected.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-element-to-our-group.html' title='A New Element To Our Group'/><author><name>Acts 2 Connected</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04141730489097341550</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FhBw6L1EDsw/R1iwI3d0_wI/AAAAAAAAAAU/JaTul3MeB_g/s72-c/prayinghands.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
