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."

positive-thought post.  

Cousin Kathy, whose husband passed about 2 years ago is doing well and has found a gentlemsn she is willing to take into her life.  Her adult children, however are having a hard time with this and I think she may need a bit of a boost to deal with the situation (as do they).  Any positive thoughts will certainly be welcome.  I am very concerned for all of them and I try to offer her the support I can, but sometimes it doesn't seem to be enough.

Thank you.

McDoc is awaiting a decision from his residency program that will impact his career path and both our lives. Please pray that the decision goes the way that will be best for us. (We have our preference, but if a higher power knows better, we'll go with it!)

whose cervical cancer was misdiagnosed and is now fatal.  For peace and comfort for her and her family, especially Autumn, her teen aged daughter.

my new microcontroller programming software. I know this is trivial compared to the other issues people have brought here. The miracle is not that the software works now, but that God granted me the patience to stick with it for 4-5 hours, until I found the (embarassingly simple) error. I could not have done it on my own.

all the comments but the ratings boxes are gone.  I am signed in but no ability to rate.  Prayers for all in case it doesn't come back.

I can't hoonestly say that i believe in the power of prayer but I do believe in the comfort of sharing.

I'm having a hard time letting go of Lassie. I miss her but that's not the problem. The problem is that when I went to visti her she flung herslef onme and well I don't want to describe it but ti was like a lsot kid who saw mommy and now I feel so much like I betrayed her.

Sh'e in a really nice kennel with a really loving volunterr staff. I hope that she will find a family that will cherish her and that she cna love.

Goodby Lassie.

Please pray for Cathy who is very ill. I'm getting info at third hand so that's all I'm sure about.

Please also pray for the family and friends of Juvenal, who passed away on Friday.

for the medical staff & pilot who were killed in a University of Wisconsin Hospital Med Flight crash on Saturday.

Please hold the families of Dr. Darren Bean, nurse Mark Coyne and pilot Steve Lipperer in your hearts.

It was a return flight. No patients were involved.

Also, please hold out hopeful thoughts for those who may be in need of Med Flight services during the period while the other helicopter is grounded. In the meantime, other hospitals are filling in with their services.

This is a tragedy of major proportions in our area. Many hospitals and staff in WI know or are touched by Med Flight and its staff. I knew none of the individuals personally, but feel profoundly saddened. These are people who landed on the roof of the hospital where I work. I have often worked with the families and patients who were transported by this service and, at times, these wonderful, caring individuals.

More details about the crash can be found here.

I would appreciate it if the good thoughts line for the families could stay on the prayer list for a few days. The enormity of the tragedy is just beginning to sink in.
