Urgent Prayer Request

UPDATE: He has been transferred to the ICU...the Drs. are running some more tests to try and determine the cause, but if they are unable to do so within the next 24 hours, they are considering transferring him to Baylor Medical in Dallas. That's where we are at right now.

I have an urgent prayer request - one of my brothers was admitted to the hospital here yesterday with an infection of some sort that has turned septic in his body. He is in an incredible amount of pain, unable to speak, and incoherent. This man has been more like a father to me than a brother, since my dad died when I was nine. I am really concerned for him and covet your prayers.

I'll keep you posted on his progress. In the meantime, thanks in advance for your prayers. We serve a mighty God who is MORE than able to deliver him from this, if it is His will.

Oh, Karen! I'm so sorry!

Of course I will pray--for him AND for you.

Lord,
Be with Karen. Help her brother. I lift him to you for healing, and pray that you will hold Karen in your arms as you carry her through this, so that when she looks back on this time, and sees one set of footprints, she knows that they are indeed, yours.
~Amen.

All good things come in Threes - a giveaway!

***If you're here via Bloggy Giveaways - please go to item #3 - that's the giveaway!*** Mondays are good days for announcing things, don't you think? It's long been known that I'm a maker of lists and enjoy the pleasure of accomplishing tasks and marking them off of said lists, if for nothing else than just the satisfaction of seeing something was actually completed. 1. My brand-spanking new Design Blog is finished. I am so excited about it - I coded it myself (which explains why some of you who have MSIE6 and FF2.0 will have viewing issues - working on the bugs still). You can visit it if you like, or not. I still have some work to do on it and there are still a few pages that are either buggy or not complete, but honestly? I just wanted to get it out there so I could announce part two of my list. 2. My order pad is open for business. Yay! I already have a wait-list of five people, but I will accept new clients as well - please go to my new Design Blog for the ne...

Biggest Bloggy Giveaway Carnival Ever - get ya some!

Image
It's finally here - the latest edition of Bloggy Giveaways. For information on how the carnival works, check here -- in a nutshell, lots of bloggers are having giveaways on their blogs and all you have to do is comment for a chance to win. This is my very first-ever and I'm so excited, because I actually have one of these necklaces myself, so if you win, we can pretend to be bbff (bloggy best friends forever). This is a 14K gold cherub pendant worth $125! I purchased two of them about a year ago with the thought that I would eventually give one of them away, so I guess I was waiting for such an occasion as this. And just in time for Valentine's Day. You can keep it for yourself, or give it away -- you decide. Heck, I'm feeling generous -- I'll even throw in the silk and velvet bag it's pictured on. :) It's quite dainty, measuring about 16 inches total length. How to win: 1. To enter, just leave me a comment. You don’t have to be a blogger to enter, but you ...
