Could use some personal prayer today…
Dwight and Emma are beginning their journey home from Ghana in just a little bit.
They fly to Europe where they will have a 5 hour layover.
Then to the United States where they will have a 9 hour layover.
We will finally{!} pick them up Thursday night
at a not-so-close airport.
BUT
Dw is not feeling well at all.
Again, this is one of those times when I would rather spit it all out,
but because our Place Called Simplicity is so public, I can’t.
Anyway, I am trying not to worry.
I really am.
But we could really use prayer for his healing – NOW!
They won’t land at the airport for me to pick them up for a full 18 hours from now. That’s a long time feeling the way he is feeling.
Thank you Knee Team.
You guys are the best!!
PS Knee Team – I am working on a way to send you guys personal messages. I think I have it figured out. So sweet Knee Team friends – be watching. I hope to do that post a little later today.
I will be praying!
Seriously? Again with the not feeling well? linny this happened last time too.
Praying !
And we could all just send you our emails so you could get a message out quickly.
Will be praying for Dw. and Emma and all of you. Praying for Dw to be healed. Asking God to fight this battle for him.
Ex. 14:14 "The Lord himself is fighting for you. Just stay calm."
Oh gosh I am sorry he is feeling bad. I am praying for healing. Praying things go smooth and easy as they travel home. Praying for you as I know you are worried.
I'm praying that Dwight is feeling the touch of the Great Physician right now.
Praying for them both.
I am praying…
You got it! Praying.
Precious Father,
Please be with DW as he is being attacked by illness. Give him strength and healing. I pray their flights are speedy and safe. Please be with this precious family and ease DW's pain. Give them the peace that surpasses all understanding.
In you precious name,
Amen
On it!! Praying for healing, peace and that the 18 hours would breeze by!!!!
praying
Coming against the enemy in prayer!
Praying for DW and Emmie!! Love you!!
Ask and you shall receive – prayers all around. I'm so sorry to hear Dw is ill. I just hate that. I will be praying for healing for him, and for a safe and uneventful journey for Dw and Emma – and prayers for Mama as well.
Linny – Certainly don't know that I qualify for your "Knee Team" but totally understand the need for prayer today and the public blog thing…especially since hubby is also a pastor. I'll be praying DW and Emma home and if you have a moment to pray for us for a "meeting" at 5pm today with members of our church, we'd so appreciate it. I'd love to share more personally with you, too. I don't do spiritual warfare well on my own, but again can't post it for prayer on the blog. HUGS and PRAYING!!
Will pray for DW, Emma and you!
I am praying, Linny. Thank God that He is big enough to be with each of us, no matter where we are in the world. I know that the Lord is with Dw right now. I will ask for the Lord's had to be upon him blessing him and restoring him to health. I am also asking for His sweet peace to be upon you.
Bless you, Linny!

Praying Linny!
I will pray. Will you pray for my Mom to feel better too? If she feels better we will head to the Ramp tomorrow! The Ramp is one of the best places I know of. They are a program that get together to worship and praise God. Praying for both! I know if it is God's will for us to go he will make it happen, and he also knows the desire of my heart. He cares. Praying!
Lifting them up now. Would love to be a part of the Knee Team! Count me in.
Praying!
praying! I couldn't sign up last week b/c our Gracie was in the hospital for surgery. I'll be checking for updates till they arrive safely home! Remember – His faithfulness reaches to the skies!
I just saw this! I'm praying for him!
"12 Moses’ arms soon became so tired he could no longer hold them up. So Aaron and Hur found a stone for him to sit on. Then they stood on each side of Moses, holding up his hands. So his hands held steady until sunset. " Exodus 17:12
We are to DW what Aaron and Hur were to Moses…we will keep him lifted up until he returns safely home. Praying unceasingly! Thank you for the privilege of praying for your precious DW and Emma. <3
Praying!!
Praying for Dw to heal and make it these last hours till he is home with his devoted family. Also praying that Emma will have the strength and wisdom to help him make it home. xoxo
Prayers for their safe return. Also prayers for Dw to have Strength and Health!!

Did you get my e-mail I sent you? I included a picture of the "Sophia" picture hanging on our wall for you to see. Beatiful!!
Love you,
janet and gang
Obviously the enemy does not like what Emma and her Daddy are doing. Glad there is Someone who is stronger. Praying God's healing and may His presence be felt by them. Traveling sick is no fun.
It is a privilege to pray for your family!
Blessings, Lisa C.
Praying here in Kentucky Linny for their flight to be uneventful and on time and for DW's healing as well as Emma as this must be hard on her too. The Lord is carrying them across the world as we wait he is holding onto them.

praying for healing for dw…and for peace for you!
Praying for healing for DW, and for smooth uneventful travels for he and Em. Praying for all of you at home anxiously awaiting their return.
I love being on the Knee Team and so honored to pray.
praying here for healing, for peace, for safety for DW, Em, and those of you waiting at home!
Yes I will pray for DW, Emma and for you All!
Praying for healing and a easy trip home.
Love ~ Jo
praying for safe travels for all and healing from DW… know you will love having him home so you can take care of him the way he has cared for so many others.
Lord, we pray that no weapon formed against Linny's family will prosper, not even the weapon of illness. We affirm that you love and care for your children and that you are doing so even while their family is on different continents. We know that the angel of Lord encamps around them. We pray that they are able to rest and relax on their flights, that all sickness symptoms dissipate, that flight schedules remain on time, that you will surround them with airline staff and passengers who will be of good temperament and helpful attitudes, that you will keep Linny's home at peace through the next few days as they anticipate and enjoy a long awaited reunion. We pray that You will strategically orchestrate divine appointments for Linny, Dw and Emma that would bring glory to you and encourage their hearts. We pray for a time of recovery as a family, with no distractions or outside emergencies that this family might rest and recouperate. We pray that you will keep all of us praying 'round the clock, in all states, all over the world so they will know they are covered even while they sleep. Thank you for their service, their hearts, and how they pour out genuine love and encouragement to all of us fellow believers.
Hey Linny,
Can Mark and I be part of the "knee team" although currently, neither of us can actually kneel?
(See, maybe we can make that a prayer request!)
Been praying for Dwight and Emma all day…
hugs,
lisa
Praying for immediate healing and rest for DW, and a "quick" trip home!!
I don't know why but I just now got the "memo" on the Knee Team but am I too late to get on board?
I've been praying every time I think of you all today…ever since I read Emma's blog post.
I agree with NOW, Lord.
I'm on it! And prayers for you too to not worry too much so you can get sleep for your drive to pick them up.
Karen
Praying and believing for his healing and a safe and speedy return.
praying!
praying here too!
Hey Linny,
Know I am praying. I have not commented in ages. Not because I have not checked In
Or been praying when needs arise but I too have been sick since returning from Africa a year ago. So commenting on ALL blogs took a back seat. But I am coming out of my commenting hiatus to let you know I will be lifting your husband up In
Prayer. I am so very sorry to hear he is sick. Glad he will be home where he cam be treated soon. Already praying too for wisdom for the drs upon his return.
Praying for your heart too as you wait.
Love,
Shannon
Prayed when I saw his post on fb this morning. Hope he is already better. We are heading to Durango tomorrow! Would love to see you guys.
Will be praying!!!!
So sorry Linny, I just saw this right now!!! I think he might have landed, but since I don't know, I am going before our God anyway!!! I am asking God to restore his health and give him the energy to continue the GREAT work in sharing God's love. Praying praying praying!!! Please count me in on those messages! I am honored to pray with you!
Praying for your hubby. Praying that he is already feeling better and that he will be fine by the time you pick him up. He gives so much of himself! Praying for all of you.
"Where two or more agree"-I know that God will heal your husband inside and out. Give him peace in his mind and in his spirit,touch his body and make it well. In Jesus name-Amen
Praying!
praying…I need to look up that post about the knee team.
Linny, of course, I want to be on the Knee Team! You and yours are always in my prayers. Love you sweet lady. Let me know specifics to pray about.
Came in late to this post…so glad DW is doing better…I will still pray….also asking if you could pray for a friend of mine who is also in Ghana…he has a heart for sharing the gospel and is a remarkable young man. He almost died last year from Malaria…so could you lift him up and pray that he does not get sick this time.
Also, my friend Grace is in Eastern Europe trying to pick up her boy, but there is snag after snag and evil things happening…she needs a court date and right now it is looking like they might have to come home without him because of all the delays. Could you please pray that God moves this mighty mountain…He did such amazing things for their family in both the raising of the money and the protection of this boy against malnutrition…
Thanks
