Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

My daughter and I leave Friday for a dance event eight hours from home. Please pray that we travel to/from safely. I am thankful we have loving family to stay with once there - what a blessing!

Please pray for my daughter, too, who's going through a tough time in her dance "career" and is feeling discouraged. She needs some self confidence right now and is having a hard time finding it.

(San Vito - St. Vitus - is the patron saint of dance, in case inquiring minds want to know. Oddly - or not - our very first duty station, 24 years ago, was at San Vito Air Station in Italy...!!!)

Thanks for your prayers.

Second update below, 10/24.

Praying, Nancy....does your daughter do Irish dance? I seem to remember you mentioning that she does. My three daughters do ID and love it. My oldest dancing daughter is 12--this is a difficult age to compete--so many in their age group at a feis.

PM me if you will be in Dallas for Regionals in December--I think you are in the Southern Region, no?

Hugs and once again, prayers!!

Well, we're not traveling. It looks as though my daughter has the flu. Please pray for her recovery.

Thanks...

DH took our son to the ER this evening when our thermometer registered 105.3. The thermometer died shortly thereafter (dd and I were checking it out) and so we were happy but not surprised to hear that my son's real temp was 101.8. Not good (with Motrin) but not horrifying. H1N1 is the probable cause.

We've laid in a stock of essential supplies, and are prepping for th worst-case scenario (DH and I both get sick and he has to fly to Guam anyway).

Your prayers are working...this could have been so much worse! Please pray that DH and I remain healthy, so we can do what we need to and still give our children the best of ourselves.

Thanks...I have relied on your prayers all evening, although you didn't know that. Sending your teenager to the ER is completely scary.
