The Bethel Rebel: Life according to Johnny Ginsberg

Greetings one and all.  May God bless everyone who reads this blog. I have a couple of things I want this summer.  I’d like to upgrade my digital SLR camera, which I have said before.  The other desire of my heart I’d so love to happen is to have a summer vacation on the East [...]

I wish I could either be a photographer, or an information research specialist.   Whether it’s as simple as a google search, or whether it gets complicated enough to use a META search engine like Dogpile, or to go to a library of some sort other place with records and data, I’m willing to do so.   [...]

Hello you all.  I have a special prayer request to ask, if I may. I kinda sorta applied for a part time position doing research using computers.  It’s a good sounding  job, but unfortunately I can’t disclose further details about it at this time.  It will be a fairly easy job for me, considering I [...]

I have a friend who has her husband in the hospital and he’s not doing very well.  I’d like to ask for prayer for her, her husband, and their family for God to have mercy on him, and for comfort and support of her family.  Because of privacy concerns, I can’t give more details.  Thanks [...]

Lord, I submit all that I am, and all that I have to you. I can’t really ask anything in return for such, Father, but I want to ask You:  What do You want for me?  How do You want me to spend my life and invest the talents You have so freely and lovingly [...]

Thanks be to Ice for his letting use his prayer chain category idea. Prayer request 1.  C and R and their children are looking to move to a larger home.  More space, and they want to be God honoring with their resources too.  Any kind of prayer for them would be welcome. Prayer request 2.  [...]
