Lord Hear Our Prayer
I added two picture buttons today. These two young girls are in great need of prayer. It is my prayer that I can take their buttons down real soon.
Emily is the young daughter of reader, Crystal. She has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Her surgery is Tuesday. Please pray for the family and the medical team that will be working on this precious little girl.
Candace is fighting a fierce and relentless battle against an infection that is eating away at her body. She has had 13 surgeries in two weeks. If you have already been praying for her make sure you read the bone update. God answers prayer. Update Saturday night: Candace's mom posted this request for prayer:
I need prayer for Candace who has not eaten for some three weeks now and has been on an I.V. drip for her minerals. A stomach tube was inserted a couple of days ago to try to get some foods into her and her stomach isrejecting just about everything going in. This causes quite a bit of pain as she still has the large abdominal open wound. She needs to have nourishment so it is important she gets over this hurdle. Please sendout the prayer warriors on this one. Also remember us in Sunday morning surgery and alert the churches to pray!
Additional prayer request for Israel He is the two year old son of Choosing Home mom, Molly. They believe he has Kawasaki's Syndrome. You can read all the details here. Update Saturday night: He has been released from the hospital. God answers prayer.
Don't continue reading this until you stop and pray for these children please.
The Featured Blogger
This week I picked TC at Fish in My Hair. She's funny and a bright spot here at HSB. She uses humor without being degrading. I appreciate that quality in a writer. If you would like to nominate someone for featured blogger email me and let me know who you'd pick. Thanks.
Discretion
Dell at Prairie Frog wrote an excellent post on discretion. Good advice for all of us who blog.
Having Trouble Keepin' Up
If you are having trouble reading all your favorite blogs. Consider looking into bloglines. It's what I use. I love it. You'll wonder how you ever read blogs any other way.
RSS Feed
In order for me or anyone else to read your blog in Bloglines you have to allow your RSS feed to be published. Under Manage Friends on your task bar is Site Feed (RSS) click on that and answer yes to publish your feed.
Don't Forget to Ping
Here's a helpful site to get Technorati tags code. This is a great way to let others know what you're talking about. I actually made it on a Hillary '08 Blog today because I pinged Hillary Clinton on my last post.
Well that's all for now. If you've come across a helpful site for blogging let me know.

I agree - I use bloglines, as well. Not only can I see when my favorite bloggers (like you) have posted something new, I don't waste time going to blogs that haven't been updated. There are still so many wonderful blogs out "there" that I will never have enough time to read and/or respond to.

You have provided such good information. Thank you especially for letting us know about Candace and Emily. This is something that will stay with me. God bless you for sharing their needs with the rest of us.

thanks for the information. i now am able to use the bloglines thanks to you. that was easy to figure out. however, the pings are a bit trickier for me. that's going to take some more time to learn.
