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!

3. ~~ ** Cruising Christian Cyberspace! ** ~~

Our feature this week is Religion Statistics (Adherents.com) - http://www.adherents.com/

This is a huge site with great features and info. Pour yourself a cup of java or a glass of iced tea and prepare to spend a little time.
