Blood, Sweat and Luxuries

Today in Pathfinders we watched the last in the BBC3 series of Blood, Sweat and Luxuries (You can watch it here.

We discussed briefly, how it's awful how people have to leave their children to earn a living to bring them up. Was it something that we could do?

Crazy that even if the price of the cheap MP3's went up - the workers at the bottom of the 'Food chain' would not be effected because it would get swallowed further along. Is there anything we can do to help others?

Family was so important to them. Do we value what we have enough? Should it really take seeing such things to make us value things?

Exam Time

It's that time of year again... No doubt the blood pressure is soaring sky high. Here''s a prayer to pray before exams...

Lord, today I am just really stressed. You know, Lord, that I am having some trouble with the test I am about to take. I know it's probably not the biggest world problem, with people starving, people turning away from you, people in wars, and more. But, Lord, it's what I'm facing right now, and I need you in this time. I know that no problem is too big or too small for you to handle, and I need to turn this stress over to you to help me with.

Lord, I just need to be able to focus. I need your help to look at this information so I can remember and apply it well on my exam. I need you to help me feel more confident going into the test and relax a bit so I can concentrate. Lord, please help the people around me to understand that I need to focus and study.

Also, Lord, help me when I walk into the exam. Give me the peace, when it is all said and done, to know that I walked in and did my best. I pray, Lord, for your guiding hand as I take the exam, and I ask for your welcome calm when I walk out of the classroom after.

Lord, thank you for all the blessings you have placed in my life. Thank you for being here in this time when I feel a bit overwhelmed. Thank you for always being there and allowing me to rely on you. Praise your name. Amen.
