Dear Internet Monk friends, I received the following update from Jeff Dunn the other day. With his permission I share it with you in order to encourage our prayers together. Well, about a month ago I woke up with congestion in my chest. By that afternoon I had a fever of between 101 and 103.Continue reading “Prayer for Our Friend”

Lisa Dye: Hanging Up My Magic Wand
“The results of prayer are not dependent upon the powers of the one who prays…” – O. Hallesby My family will tell you that in my moments of extreme helplessness and frustration, I have been prone in the past to stamp my foot. Very little girlish, I know. Fortunately, the foot stamping has not beenContinue reading “Lisa Dye: Hanging Up My Magic Wand”
Thoughts on Southern Africa
With the passing of Nelson Mandela yesterday, the world lost a great statesman. Through his words of reconciliation South Africa was able to transition out of Apartheid without the bloodshed that characterized so many of the independence movements of the region. While I am known as the Canadian voice on Internet Monk, my family hadContinue reading “Thoughts on Southern Africa”
My Response to Mayor Rob Ford
By now you have probably heard of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. For those who haven’t, let me give you a quick time line. In November of 2010 Rob Ford was elected as Mayor of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He was elected as a “cost cutting” mayor, someone who would bring fiscal sense to a city whoseContinue reading “My Response to Mayor Rob Ford”

Perhaps you will find them useful in your own conversational relationship with God and in your family. * * * Morning Prayer In the morning, when you rise, you shallContinue reading “Luther’s Morning and Evening Prayers”
Eagle Update: 8/19/12
From Dee at Wartburg Watch at 6pm this evening: Eagle will be discharged tomorrow on IV antibiotics and wound care to be delivered by the Visiting Nurses. He will need help with housework and meals so he is looking into getting some extra help. Please keep him in your prayers.
Eagle Update: 8/13/12
Please renew your prayer efforts! Eagle was transferred to a rehabilitation facility at the end of last week. It has not gone well.

Please intercede forContinue reading “Eagle Update: 8/13/12”
Eagle Update: 8/9/12
One of our readers, Beky (who comments as Tokahfang) paid a visit to our friend in the hospital today and gave the following report: I got to spend about an hour and a half with Eagle. He is getting visits every few days from his coworkers, who are very supportive. He is off of theContinue reading “Eagle Update: 8/9/12”
Eagle Update: 8/5/12
Eagle and I had a good conversation on the phone this afternoon. They transferred him to a different room (in the middle of last night — ugh!) so it took me a few minutes to get hold of him. He gave me a few graphic descriptions of his red, swollen, and weeping leg which IContinue reading “Eagle Update: 8/5/12”
