Modern Prayers
When I picked up our 4-year-old granddaughter on Friday, to spend the weekend with us, she was carrying a small Bible. As I drove, I kept glancing in the mirror at her--in the back seat, safely buckled into her carseat. She was holding the little Bible and poking at it with her bitty finger. When she noticed I was watching…

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum or if anyone can help me or not but I could really do with some advice.

(2000) We knew we wanted a Cameo and this was brand new and never been used. The guy was going to retire and live in it in Alaska but got an offer he…

UPDATE
I had my surgery yesterday and it went well. The surgeon only had to go in laproscopicly to get a biopsy from the two spots that were left after the summer dheom camp.

I declined…

The results are in ....
The two little spots that showed up in the "halfway scan" were still there. Most likely I have two forms of lymphoma. Somehow my dr. set me up with my surgeon right after my appt. with him so I'm currently waiting in the waiting room to see him. I've already met with his "fellow." So the plan is to biopsy the two nodes or…
