Please pray for Little Miss Carena…


There is a sweet little girl in the hospital today.

She’s actually been there most of this week with surgery on Wednesday.

She’s had undiagnosed fevers ranging up to 104.4 for months now and this surgery consisted of removing her tonsils and a few lymph nodes. Tests are being run, her i.v. keeps her hydrated, yet the fever continues on. Read more

Humor and a Thankful Heart


Some days it’s hard to live with a thankful heart.

Some days you just want to crawl under the covers and stay there…although then I want someone who can bring me coffee and chocolate and as the day turns to night…a glass of wine.  And maybe a good Janet Evanovich book…oh wait…now I’m starting to feel better!

And then God laughed…


Does it ever feel like just when you have it all together, God laughs?

That’s how I feel today.

After months of waiting to heal…

realizing things weren’t healing…

getting referrals to specialists…

and finally starting to get some answers…

I thought I might be able to get back to work in short order.

And then God laughed… Read more
