Coveting your prayers

I know I've been severely delinquent on this blog lately. Trust me. I will be back and explain all. It'll just be a while yet. I will probably lose most of my readership, but the Lord is just keeping away for the time being.

I'm writing today to introduce y'all to another blog and ask for your prayers for a dear, dear family. Myers and Laura Carpenter (and Lillian) have been friends of our family for many years. We go to church together, run a business together and our kids practically live with each other. Judah and Lillian have been best of friends since birth.

Laura is expecting in April. In December, she and Myers discovered at a routine ultrasound that their daughter has a severe heart defect. They have named her Gwyneth, placed her in the hands of the Lord and are praying for His healing and protection. You can go to their blog and read more about their journey, updates on Gwyneth and more details of her condition.

Would you go and leave them an encouraging comment? Would you join me in lifting Gwyneth up in prayer?

A particular request... if any of you know the Philadelphia area at all, they'll be moving there soon and I'm sure would love to have some insider info on the city-- particularly ideas for keeping active toddlers entertained!

This is so sad...
The only thing I know about Philly is about the race track we go to to pick up horses 3-4 times per year.
And I know you wouldn't want to do that......
