Now I know you all are not use to me updating more than once a year. However, I feel that I need to ask for some prayer request. There is a little girl named Alexis that was just diagnosed in April with stage 4 neuroblastoma. Her dad is a friend of my brother. Here is a link to her website.... Alexis Jenkins
Please stop by and sign her guestbook and let her family know that you are praying for them.

Also pray for Emily to be free of pain as she has been having a problem with her bowels. She is such a sweet little lady, it just breaks my heart to know that she is in any kind of pain. Here is a link to her website......

Chris is doing great and is enjoying the nice weather.

God Bless and thank you for checking in on Chris.
