Prayer Need!!!

I got this email, and this baby needs our prayers. Seemed like a good place to put it!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hallie was born Dec. 30, 2008. Hallie has Downs Syndrome, which was discovered before her birth, and typical to most Downs babies, has some health complications since birth. At first she was just having trouble breathing while nursing and turned blue and had to be put in NICU in the Chattanooga hospital where she was born. They put a feeding tube in and we thought things were stabilizing. Now the docs have found some problems with heart functions - she is retaining fluid around her heart, in addtion to other symptoms. They have decided to do a heart cath on her to determine the extent of the problems - it is scheduled for 7 am on Friday in Chattanooga. If complications are not extensive, they will do repairs there. If extensive, Hallie will be airlifted to Nashville Vanderbilt hospital for heart surgery. Please send out prayers for Hallie & family - they need your support and I know there are some prayer warriors out there!!

Precious Lord, Healer, Comforter, we come to you right now on behalf of little Hallie. We ask for your healing touch. We are expecting this baby to be a miraculous example, that all who behold her presence for the rest of her very long life will see how powerful and loving her God is. All those whose lives she touches will be changed because of the beauty of her life, which You gave to her with a purpose for it. Heal her body, Father, comfort her and her family, bring them Your peace and Your healing. We pray for these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

Health Care in the USA

Well, it is time for another political rant, so depending on your standing, you may want to mosey along.... Health care in the United States is apparently in need of an overhaul.  There are few who disagree.  However, the method of that overhaul is in question.  Many would like to use their power in government to take over health care.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are calling it a reform , but it is really just a takeover . So, okay, let's evaluate. Your company, which you have worked for your entire life, is losing money.  It is still afloat, but it isn't doing as well as it could.  You have a couple of choices as a member of the voting board of directors : you could vote in favor of a reevaluation of what is working and what isn't, what rules are already in place that aren't being followed that would benefit your bottom line, and what people in your company are beneficial and what people are detrimental, then you could weed out things and people who aren...

How Has Homeschooling Affected My Life?

Well, homeschooling IS my life, so suffice it to say, there's no stone unturned!  Massive takeover, at times, a bit hostile!! For example, my second child was getting ready to embark on Mother's Day Out and my first child was conveniently ensconced in a Government-run "educational" facility, and I had a glimmer of real freedom... for about a day.  Then I found out I was preggo with Baby #3.  Commence Meltdown. I have since gotten over that traumatic , er, beautiful time, and we have embraced homeschooling.  The freedom never came, the oldest got pulled from Uncle Sam's Brainwashing Academy, and the second offspring never entered a public school.  The third will not go away to preschool. They go with me to the doctor.  This, they do not love.  Neither do I. ( Mommy, why is she putting that there?? ) Alas, it is our lot in life... at least until the eldest is of babysitting age. They go with me to the grocery store.  This, they love occasion...

Hole-Punchers and Vanderbilt

Yup. The name pretty much says it all. My day started with my eight- and five-year-olds deciding to experiment with the art supplies. My son put his finger in the hole-puncher and my daughter punched a hole in it. Commence wailing, bleeding, and panicking. "Quin got cut" was the first explanation. Then, "Calysta used the hole-punch on my finger" and "He told me to do it" and "No, I didn't!" Sob, sob, sob, bleed, bleed, bleed. Yeah, well, 12 minutes later, the bleeding isn't slowing with the crying, so the our Pediatrician's office advises us to take a trip the to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital Emergency Room. Really?!?! Jack that panicking up a few notches, folks, and off we go! About 3 1/2 hours later, we are on our way home with a $75 bandage. Mmm-hmmm. An ER trip that results in the doctor washing the cut out with WATER and putting a gauze BANDAGE on my not-so-smart son's finger. The good news is that there was no...
