Just sad, sad, sad (Callie)
Most of us have a branch of the family that is kinda "uncomfortable" for everyone else & mine is no exception. My cousins on that side are all much younger than I am and most of them have led a sad, dissolute life of drugs and living on welfare. Given the history of that side of the family...

A sign from above...
This gives me shivers... Two young sisters in our town, ages 11 and 17, were killed last week in a tragic auto accident. The youngest was a star Little League pitcher, and the oldest was an all round sportsman. The youngest was a bright cheery girl, and the oldest was a quieter, motherly type. Both were...

A special person has lost the battle
I never met Vicki but she was a very special person. She battled cancer for much longer than the Doctors expected. You see she felt like she had a mission and that mission was to bring hope and inspiration to many in the NW Arkansas area. Once she was no longer able to keep up her blog, her husband did...

Thoughts for my best friend's dog
He is one of the nicest dogs I ever met, a true gentleman in every way. But, he is 14 now, and his hind end is pretty much gone. My friend lives on a second floor and actually spent the money to have a stair lift installed so that she could take him up and down the stairs to go outside once he couldn't...

Many of you probably know this already, but she's in the hospital undergoing tests. She's had an infection and has been in pain. They think it's MRSA. I know I don't even have to ask because this is Callie, but please send her all the good thoughts and prayers you can.

My dad needs prayers (miranadobe)
My (step) dad is 71 years old, and is going in for surgery tomorrow morning for cervical fusion. My mom has been worried about his health for years, but putting him under anesthesia and doing surgery on his spine has her especially (understandably) nervous. PLEASE, please, if you can spare some prayers...
