Helping an Addicted Soaper
I’ve been reading Deb’s blog, Deb on the Run, for years now. She recently posted about her homemade soap, and I told her that I thought she should sell the soaps on her blog because I’d love to buy some.
Then out of the blue, I received an email from Deb asking for my address so that she could send me some of her soaps, telling me to consider it as a “help a soaper with her addiction” ministry.
Well, I’m more than happy to help someone with an addiction like that because I am the one who gets wonderful things in the mail, like these:
Deb sent three, but the cinnamon one was immediately
put in the downstairs bathroom for all to enjoy- It smells wonderful!Thanks, Deb!

Mary Needs a Miracle
Niecey blogged about her friend Mary this week, and I need to ask you all to pray for her.
Mary was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. She had 10 children and one on the way.
Presently, she is in the hospital where the doctors are trying to keep Mary alive for seven more weeks so that the baby can be delivered. There is nothing that they are able to do to stop the cancer and she has fluid building around her heart, which they have drained. Only a few weeks ago, she was hospitalized with fluid buildup in her lungs, and then she was diagnosed with lung cancer which has spread to her spine and liver.
Together with her husband and family, Mary created and operates the largest food pantry in the state of Nebraska. They founded Mission For All Nations a few years ago and for every dollar donated, they give away 7 dollars in food, clothing and household goods.
Please pray for a miracle for Mary and for her family!
You can sign up for Mary’s 24-hour prayer vigil.
O Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior, the Physician of souls and bodies, who didst become man and suffered death on the cross for our salvation, and through thy tender love and compassion didst heal all manner of sickness and affliction: do thou O Lord, visit Mary in her suffering, and grant her grace and strength to bear this sickness with which she is afflicted, with Christian patience and submission to thy will, trusting in thy loving kindness and tender mercy. Amen.

It’s Our Little Monkeys One Year Blogoversary!
Happy Blogoversary to Us!
This is just a quick post to let you all know that OurLittleMonkeys is celebrating our One Year Anniversary.
However, I will be spending my day changing lots of diapers and taking my boy to the bathroom many times because it seems our big kids have some kind of intestinal virus. Fun stuff!
Oh, and my hubby is gone ALL day.

Look for a fun post and a giveaway on Monday!

Precious Stellan on the News
Click HERE to see a video about Stellan
It looks as though Stellan, with his mom and dad, will be making a trip to Boston to have another ablation. His doctors agree that they can’t wait until he’s 4 years old or weighs 20 kilos.
From Jennifer’s blog: There is an exceedingly high probability that when Dr. A and his cohorts go into Stellan’s heart to ablate the electrical pathway that is causing Stellan’s dangerously fast heartbeat, Stellan’s perfectly good AV node will also have to be killed in the process, simply because it is near Stellan’s extra pathway. Without a functioning AV node, there will be no rhythm, so Stellan would need to have his chest opened up (because of his small size) and have a pacemaker placed. He would be 100% pacemaker dependent for life if it comes to that.
Please keep this family in your prayers!
