that the Orphan Rights Bill will not pass in Congress. For this bill to pass would mean imminent disaster for artists like Art Heals and her husband. Our copyrights would be taken and we would have no recourse despite that fact we owned our images. Please, write or pray for our Congresswomen and men to do the right thing and not let our art become a free possession to those who have no ownership in it.

PRAY for Grayson Mitchell -- pray that a miracle be performed in his life -- one that doctors can't explain. Pray also for his mother, father and brothers. These parents probably have some very difficult decisions to make in the coming days.  Pray that God leads them to make the right decisions.

Paula healing from foot surgery

bleeding heart's daughter who has contracted a bacterial infection when she had her c-section--treatments may or may not work.

ladybug's daughter who "just received a diagnosis of hypothryoidism, and has begun medication and already feels a little better.  It totally explains her many health problems (besides the PCOS), and we apologized for blaming her for being a total slacker!
However, this is coming too late to keep her in her college, what with the many missed classes and undone work due to the many illnesses, exhaustion and depression she has had this past semester.  Probably this condition has been building up over the last 1-2 years, we figure.  Since she turns 19 in June she goes off our health insurance unless enrolled full-time in school -- we don't know what to do!  
So prayers for her, please, and for me not to worry so much.  And prayers that universal healthCARE will become a reality in our country soon."

Peace for our world

put up a year ago.  I had asked for prayers for a girl named Jesse who was hospitalized in organ failure from an unknown cause.  She is the daughter of Patty and they had suffered the death of son and brother months earlier due to a car accident.  Patty had been on a cruise with friends and was helicoptered to shore and flown home with the news of her son's death.  Jesse recovered, thankfully. Well fast forward to now and I just heard that Jesse is dating my nephew Kyle.  His story is similar to my kids' with his mom dying from cancer when he was 4 months old.  The four boys grew up together and he is like a son to me. This is joyful news and I thought you all should have some brightness shining on your fabulous efforts.

and all here keeping the Street Prophets alive and well.
I come here when I'm strong as well as lost and find direction.

For the compass you are........thank you!

I am married to a Bhuddist and consider my self to be a  amatuerish practicing in the sense of not very good at it yet Bhuddist.  I try to practice kindness to pbalance out the unkindness in the world

So a prayer for suffering animals

That we can find a way to curb the problems that are resulting and will result from the current food crisis.  And Mayamar as well.

May we find fulfilling, rewarding work.
