The Shack and.....

I just finished one of the greatest books.....The Shack by WM. Paul Young.  This book is fiction, yet is SO real.  Through Young's words you are able to visualize all that he is talking about and may even be able to relate to some of what Mackenzie (the main character) battles with.  I couldn't help but get teary eyed from time to time as I read about the goodness, grace, and mercy of God that was shown throughout the book.  This book will cause you to do a "self check" and reflect on your own life.  Books that make you do that, in my opinion, are well worth the read!

On a different note, I ask that you please pray for some friends of an old, dear friend of mine from high school.  I believe in the power of prayer and this family needs it during this difficult time.  I don't know my friend's friend, but it doesn't matter.  If you think about it, Jesus healed many that He did not know and whom did not know Him, but that never stopped Him.....

Below is the information regarding my friend's best friend:


Last night my best friend, Sarah, was rushed in for an emergency c-section at just 26 weeks. Harper was born at 9:12 last night in critical condition. Tests have shown extensive bleeding in the brain and doctors have said that she needs a miracle. Please pray for Harper and for Dana and Sarah that the Lord would be close to them in this time. 

Sarah and Dana will be making tough decisions in the next few days, weeks, etc. Please pray for peace, wisdom, and sleep for them.

Harper is a fighter. Please pray for healing, life and a miracle.

From Dana before the test results came back: “Harper just had a brain scan to determine if there is activity. Please pray. She is such a miracle, and we lover her so much. Sarah is doing well. She is very sore, and has only seen Harper last night for a few minutes. Pray for peace as her mother’s heart is breaking…”  

I thank you in advance.....
