it’s only supposed to be in 3’s.

You know how they say that bad things come in 3’s? Like illnesses? Well, unfortunately, that’s not the way it has been going- it’s been a lot more.  It feels like all I keep hearing from friends in passing is how sick someone is. I’m not a religious person by any means (as those of you who know me can attest) so even though it feels strange asking for your prayers, I’m going to anyway. And your help too.

My brother in law (aka Uncle That Guy) is having surgery today. So if you could pray for a good outcome for him (and all of his family) that would be wonderful.

There’s a mom in town with two small children who I’ve done pictures for in the past and someone that I consider a friend that is very ill. Thankfully, the latest update is that she’s doing much better and that her heart is recovering well. (She had a virus that attacked her heart, which resulted in damage to her heart to the point where she was critically ill.) She could still use your prayers and good thoughts as she has a long road ahead of her. Her name is the same as mine, so please put her and her family in your heart and continue to pray for them.

Then another friend from town recently shared the news with me that her husband has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer. They have 3 small children and are just about the most optimistic people I know.  But of course, they really need your prayers. And your help. Please see the flyer and donate blood. If it’s not a match for Rob, it will be for someone who needs it and you could save a life.

There are some other families who I know that are having medical crises as well, but I don’t know the status of their loved ones and don’t feel comfortable posting here on the blog. So if you could just say a prayer for…well, everyone, that would be great.
