Prayer Request: My father is suffering from a serious lung issue, but they are having a terrible time diagnosing it. His samples are currently at the Mayo Clinic, but in the meantime, they put him on oxygen and told him that's probably permanent. He's also had leukemia for about 21 years, and his medicine is no longer keeping it in check. They're having an awful time finding another medicine that doesn't make him deathly ill. If you think of it, please pray for my dad's health - and that he will be saved. Thank you so much.



* According to this article, summer squash is the best ingredient for smoothies....this is hard for me to imagine, but it would be a great way to use up a large squash harvest! Just be sure to use either homegrown squash or organic store bought squash. Conventionally grown, store bought summer squash is usually GMO.

  1. I'm so sorry about your dad! Sounds like a bad situation overall, and it's even scarier when they need salvation. I will pray for him.
