Your prayers requested

Please pray for a friend of mine. Her six-week old baby is currently in surgery (4:30 PM EST, 1/5/09) at Emory in Atlanta, having one of his eyes removed. Baby Lucas was diagnosed last week with Retinal Blastoma. Please pray for healing and a quick recovery for this baby and for peace and strength for his family. They are great people who are dearly loved! And I can only imagine how agonizing this must be for them.
Thanks so much!

Update: Baby Lucas is home from the hospital (1/6/08), and his surgery went fine. He still has a lot to go through yet, so keep him in your prayers. Thanks!

Pray and Vote

I want to put a plug in for the blog of a good friend, Linda. See it HERE. Each day she will be posting suggestions for things we need to pray for in our country. We so need to be praying for our nation and for this election.
Listen, folks. When you vote in November, you are not just voting for a personality! You are voting for a person with a set of ideas and beliefs. Pray for wisdom, then investigate both candidates and make sure the one you chose has values that match yours. Watch this video...though comical, you'll get the point.
