Prayers go out to all those needing our prayers. Glad to hear Lincoln is doing good and Pete too. N7 my heart and prayers go out to your grandchilds other grandparents and their grandchild. It must be real hard losing everything like that. I'm real glad that noone was really hurt. Things can be replaced but people can't.
Prayers for all who don't think they need them right now for any special problems. We all need them to keep us strong for our every day work.
Haven't heard anything yet on TJ's scans from Friday.
