"Prompt: When you say you will pray for someone do you follow through? If not why not?"

I discovered that if somebody asks me to pray for them it is best that I do so on the spot. If not I am likely to get side-tracked and forget to do so. I am very absent-minded because I usually have two olr three things going on at once. Yesterday, IK discovered that I had sat down at my computer the day before with every intention of sending out the blog prompt for my other group. Apparently I started to work on next week's Sunday school lesson instead because it popped into my head and I entirely forgot what I started to do! I am very forgetful. Therefore when somebody asks me to pray for them I usually do so immediately.

I was taken prisoner by the Romulans yesterday. Spock brought a rescue mission to retrieve me.

Quite honestly, I recall typing the prompt yesterday. I must not have sent it. I probably got called away suddenly, then when I came back I forgot what I was doing. I have four work stations so it's hard to say. I guess your captain is getting old!

Today's prompt is Ernest writing about daddies. Tell us about your dad or if you are a dad, what is that like for you?

My dad worked hard all of his life. Though he cheated on my mother more times than I can count, he never left her. One woman wanted him to leave Mom and he dumped the woman immediately. He was a scoundrel in a lot of ways but I have deep love and admiration for him.
