Prayer

Prayers needed

My sister-in-law emailed the following to me this morning:

Late last night, one of my closest friend’s daughters was diagnosed with Leukemia. Jake and Kelly’s oldest daughter, Ashlyn, has been just a little off for a few weeks. Jake wanted Kelly to take her to the pediatrician and I encouraged her to ask for a complete blood work up. Foolishly, on my part, thinking that it might reveal a vitamin deficiency or anemia or something. The family will get more information today about the nature of the illness (form) and what to expect in the coming days. Ashlyn has been admitted to the hospital and will remain there for several days.

Please pray for strength for their family, especially Jake and Kelly, and for God’s hand in healing Ashlyn and making her more comfortable.

Name that song

Here are the first lines of the first couple of songs from this morning’s shuffle. Can you name them?

1. “Stars shining bright above you, night breezes seem to whisper ‘I love you.’ ” (Way to go, Justin! It’s “Dream a Little Dream”)

2. “Got dirt, got air, got water and I know you can carry on.” (Carrie wins! It’s “The Good Times” by Modest Mouse)

3. “You walked into my house last night.”

4. “My my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender.”

5. “There is nothing that is wrong in wanting you to stay here with me.” (Carrie wins again! It’s “Lay Down Sally” by Eric Clapton”)

My brother-in-law just called to say, “I didn’t think it was possible to eliminate everyone in your bracket.” To which I say, “Aren’t I just amazing?”

I knew I wouldn’t be holding on to first place for long when my champions were out of the tournament in the first round. I was surprised, though, to see every single one of my Final Four teams drop out of the running.
