    Oh hollyann, how sad, of course we are praying for sweetpea.  So much to deal with for a child, too much.  Footie may I sit and pray with you awhile.  Lord please be with Hannah a child going through this terrible disease, please heal her, help her treatments work.  Please give her and footie strength, courage, and hope to get through all of this.  Please watch over all my sisters that are on bco site.  Please help us have love, compassion, and understanding of one another and look to you for our everything.  In Jesus name I pray.  Amen.

    Footie do you have any jellybeans, sure am having a craving for them with a cup of coffee.  throwing another log on the fire to keep bad things at bay.

    Lord, I ask you to bless all my bc sisters, to help their treatments work, to give them peace, encouragement, and soften their hearts.  I pray for compassion for all.  For observing Gods law and living in his love and peace. I ask these things in Jesus name, amen. Holding hands and praying after we have another log thrown on the fire and have roasted our marshmallows and had our coffee and sandwiches.  thank you footie.

    Footprints, not sure I understand your post.  

    As others have pointed out, soon will be 3 years since this thread started and we gathered as a group to offer support and encouragement and sometimes prayer. There were many Christian gals here and some were not.   It was never intended to just be a prayer thread. Everyone was welcome - there were so many facing some dark and difficult days and we wanted them to know they were not alone - we would gather in a circle as wagon circles of years ago did to protect and support each other. 

    Many of us have been able to move forward or when the big change over the last time and we had days of not being able to log on, didn't find our way back but many of us still come back to visit and offer encouragement and toss on another log. 

    No one is trying to take anything away but maybe we shouldn't try to change things to just become a prayer thread either.  Is that what is happening now?  There are other places here for that and I don't want anyone to feel if they aren't Christian or into prayer they can't come here.  That seems rather unChristian to me.  I am praying I have misundersood your post and what you were saying.

    Hollyann, I was just reading through this thread and saw your post about losing your job.  I think I could have written almost exactly the same thing, except the occupation is different.  I have spent the last few months crying, job hunting and just wondering why.  I have no magic cure for you, just wanted you to know you are not alone.  I worked for my company for 7 years! 

     Need some more logs for the fire?
