He gets his good looks from me dosen't he? Don't answer that.
When you stop laughing you can start reading again.

Yes, I am back in Romans 8. Verse 26(NASB) to be exact. "In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings to deep for words". Have you ever been praying and even though you know what you are praying for you don't know how to ask for it. The Holy spirit not only knows us intimately but he knows (is) God. So He knows what we want(need) and He knows the will of God. Verse 27 explains this much better than I can. "and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according the will of God". This whole time during our Haiti adoption experience we have been here. Our prayers have been many and we have been heeding Paul's exhortation of praying without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17. We have found comfort in His Word and the knowledge that He not only hears our prayers, but intercedes for us with groaning too deep for words. Wow, read that verse or commit it too memory (psalm 119:11 NIV), and you will be blown away by it's impact on your spiritual walk.
