Greetings to all of you and a welcome to our new subscribers! We

to God and you for this privilege.

1. ~~ ** Mini-Reflection ** ~~
There's an anecdote I read some time ago that came to mind while
pondering March's Weekly Reflections theme of Sweet Sacrifices. A
famous hotel had just finished hosting a "Charity Ball"
to raise funds for the poor of the city. A finely dressed lady
left for home after the evening of eating and drinking. Just as
she was about to step into her limousine, a beggar approached,
quietly asking for just a little money since he had not eaten in
several days. The lady told him he was so ungrateful, explaining,
"I want you to know that I have been dancing and eating for
you all night!"

2. ~~ ** Product and Services Updates ** ~~
Our prayer warrior team consists of dedicated Christians
throughout the US. We would be happy to pray on behalf of your
needs and also share in thanking our Lord for His wonderful work
in our lives. You are welcome to send your requests and praises
to prayercare@aol.com.
In keeping with the March theme of Sweet Sacrifices, we are
reminded of one of our favorite witness T-shirts. It has an image
of Jesus carrying the cross with the inscription: "And you
thought YOU sacrificed for your kids." Men can find the
"male version" of the shirt in our products store at
www.prayergear.com/ca.html and women can find the "female
version" at www.prayergear.com/ladiesTees.html.
We are featuring ten new CDs and cassette audio tapes of the A.
C. E. Hall of Fame Music Series. Each has fourteen original hit
recordings, many that have never been available on compact disc
until now. And incredibly affordable at only $8.98 for CD and
$5.98 for cassette. You can find them at the top of the page at
www.prayergear.com/music.html.
Finally, we are pleased to inform you that mid-March, the
"Subscriber Sharings" section of this newsletter will
feature a series of articles by one of you on financial
management in accordance to Christian principles. Topics will
include mortgaging, rental vs. ownership, credit card debt and
tithing. Stay tuned!

This is a huge site with great features and info. Pour yourself a

4. ~~ ** Let us know! ** ~~
From a subscriber: "Hi John, did I ever tell you that my
church has a GREAT collection of subject sermons on-line? All one
needs is the realplayer. Things like how to witness, how to have
a Godly marriage, LOTS of great stuff." Check out
http://www.calvaryftl.org/media/topical.htm.
Thank you for letting us know! (By the way, you can download a
free Realplayer from our web site on the What's New section. See
our audio prayer at the top of the page.)
