Prayer

Prayers for Ashlyn

My sister-in-law just posted an update about the daughter of one of her best friends. Ashlyn is being treated for AML Leukemia, and she’s in the ICU today. She and her family could use your prayers and positive thoughts.

(Ashlyn) just turned 10 years old last week and has been amazingly strong these last several months. … Today she’s had some complications that resulted in her being placed into the ICU. Please pray for her and for her family as she continues to fight this disease. If you would like to leave her a message of encouragement, please go to the Caringbridge website. … I know that her parents read her all the messages left on her site, and that your prayers are needed and much appreciated.

Walk Score

Poppy and I don’t go outside much during the day. Mostly because it’s roughly 215 degrees here every day, but also because our apartment complex isn’t very outside-play friendly. We go for walks by the river every now and then, but the sidewalk they’ve put in there is only about 200 yards long. So it’s a short walk.

Anyway, I typed in our address over at Walk Score to see how they think our neighborhood stacks up. They agree with me. We scored a 3 out of 100. Our old duplex only scored a 35, which I think is a little low. There were ample sidewalks there and several shops and restaurants and at least one park within walking distance.
