Please pray for Rachel, Barry and Nate Moore in South Carolina. Barry was in an auto accident yesterday in Columbia SC. Here is an abbreviated update we got this morning…..

Sisters-

Keep praying. I just got a call from Rachel. Barry’s injuries are bad. The Dr.s said his condition was serious and that he had broken every bone in his lower face and skull. he is currently in a coma and they are monitoring him and keeping an eye on him. The Dr. also said they had not seen a case that bad with so many fractures. I really can relate to someone who posted earlier tonight about how the English language is not enough, and for God to read our hearts.

Oh Father of healing, Rachel and Nate Need Barry. Please, God, restore his healing so he can be with his family. Allow him to awaken with no brain damageand be fully restored. Hear our prayers oh God and we ask you to honor them. In the precious name of your Healing pwer, we pray, AMEN

Remember, sisters, that about a year and a half ago, we were all on our knees on Rache’ls behalf.

Keep praying.

Today I woke up … and didn’t feel like crying right away!! The sun was shinning and it was probably a high of 40 but it was too beautiful to stay inside so we braved it. After doing the necessary online stuff (and a bit unnecessary – anyone know of a good place to learn how to quilt for free? Nah, I didn’t find it either sigh) I bundled up the boys and headed out. Eric was helping his dad move a few more things for his sister and BIL so I headed over to see my mom (who’s sick). Then I met with a friend to visit someone who is no longer HSing any longer and giving away some curriculum. I took as many of the references tools as I could and about 20 Boxcar children books. I also picked up a complete set of McGuffey readers – not sure why, but I’ve always wanted to check them out.

Tonight my niece(7) is spending the night and will go to church with us tomorrow…and my boys are being hyper! LOL Well, I’m getting off this computer and going to watch an old movie. Sorry so boring….but at least I’m not depressing again! 😉

Today my oldest turns 9. I wish, for his sake, I could get a handle on my emotions and cheer up. But I’m just not doing too well. Grief really does suck. I’m not sure why our family has been a target of so much depressing stuff this year, but I sure hope that 2004 is better. Please Lord, let it be better for us!

I found this at a blog and really enjoyed it!
