Paul didn't offer the Thessalonians vague prayers, but rather prayers of hope based on specific requests. Consider his prayer in 1 Thessalonians 3:9-13 and consider how love drove the things he prayed for on behalf of the Thessalonians.
Pastor Donn missed the first Sunday of Advent because his daughter had a medical emergency. Though today is the second Sunday of Advent, we used the theme and the lesson from the first Sunday and plan next week to do a combine second Sunday/third Sunday lesson.
