If I could send out a prayer request email daily updating people on the condition of my heart spiritually speaking, can you imagine how much healthier I'd be? I was driving to the Heart Hospital to visit Dad yesterady when I pulled up behind a truck who had the license plate, "PRAY4ME." I thought that guy's life must be remarkable! I actually prayed for him. Eph. 6:18 says to pray for the saints ALWAYS! Wow, I was on to something. What if I used my blog to beg for other saints to pray for me?
Lately, I've been asking for prayer on here for my Dad and his health and this journey and I'm thrilled to report that he is going home as I type :) I just really got to thinking how important updates are for people who are praying. I'm not going to have this blog become a personal prayer request place for me, but I will continue to use it so that I can monitor my spiritual gauges. What are they set to? Am I hitting the mark?
Today, I feel the "normalcy" of life returning once again with Daddy going home and Nick returning to work. I pray that I give my children lots of love and fun memories today. Tomorrow I'll worry about rotating out the bins of clothes for the change of season and cleaning the house. Today, after all this, I just need to love on them.

I'm so glad your dad is better and coming home. There's no rest in the hospital, as I'm sure you know!

To all of the other 'commenters', isn't my wife cool?!
sappy but not sorry;)
Prayers for your Daddy. I guess I have a hard time asking for "help" especially babysitting, but I would say Prayers should be easy to ask for. Nobody minds blessing another!!!
My life throughout this whole trial is evidence of the power of prayer. How many times do you think "Peace" was requested for me? I was filled with peace!! We have not because we ask not!! You are so on track with your need for prayer. Never apologize for that.
Ummmm...I do believe that today (as it is past midnight as I type this) is SOMEbody's birthday...can you help me out with that? Who is it? Is it me? No...it's only my half-birthday! Who is it....hmmmmm....wait...it's coming to me....IT'S YOU!!!!! Happy birthday, my dear friend!!! I think you should celebrate in the evening by helping stuff 2000 easter eggs! :) Just kidding!
