Deadline is in 4 days, 8 hours, 30 minutes, and 12 seconds. After some work on Saturday, I finally feel like we might make this deadline. I got the mewithoutYou story done and hope to finish the last-minute Leigh Nash story this morning. Then it's the Buckcherry Says article to put the finishing touches on; and then most of my writing is done. I've yet to finish the DVD and gadget reviews in the "Play" section, and I have to write the Heaven's Metal page and the brand new "Classic Moments" history page, and a few album reviews. And then it's all laying out articles.
Chapter 29 of Rees Howells, Intercessor tells of some national prayer results that his organization was part of. In 1928 the Church of England was considering a New Book of Common Prayer. Howells felt inspired by the Lord to get involved via prayer. They shut down classes at the school and prayed about it collectively. The House of Commons vetoed the matter after it passed the Parliament. Another event was in 1936, when King Edward VIII was going to marry an American divorcee.
They prayed and felt the Lord's will revealed as Edward to abdicate his throne, which he did a few days later. It's fascinating to think of a nation like England being in an uproar about this moral question/dilemma. It's funny to consider (sad, too) how such a matter would be viewed today.
