I read every day many forms of biblical instruction and all I ask is for God to show up in a manner I can recognize so that I know He is present in my life. Is asking for this a unfaithful?

How is advertising affecting our faith and how we live. Someone called last week for a thread on advertising but I wasn't sure where to post it.
Here's an excerpt from a northern magazine:
Apparently, the government in the 50s had moved Inuit families to a barren stretch of beach on an Arctic Island, because they wanted a new settlement there. The son of the Inuit who was left there, recalls how desolate it was, even by their standards, and how angry his father was.
But, the son in Grise Fiord now does not discuss it much with his young son. "I don't want my children to inherit what I feel (anger)."
I thought that was a strong statement, from a strong man.

Not sure where to put this, but I hope some people read it. Just today, my colleague rushed in to say that someone in our department was just taken to hospital with an aneurism. Someone in our family died of one last year (he was only 15 years old) and this woman is only in her forties I think.
If any of you out there have prayers to spare, please pray for her and her family, as well as for those looking after her that they may be able to perform her operation successfully and that they can help her to recover as smoothly as possible.
