We just completed a fantastic night of prayer and we're about to leave for Florida to face off with Hurricane Ivan. I just packed my paperback copy of Jim Elliot's journals and here is my prayer as we leave for a week of vacation:

"God, I pray thee, light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn for Thee. Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine. I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you, Lord Jesus"

Jim Elliot, Martyr
