Praying 4 Kara

In July 2009 Kara Bartholomew McConnell (now 35) was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer). She has taken several different conventional and experimental treatments to rid her body of this horrible disease. As of July 2011 her pain in unbearable. We are praying for God to heal her completely and to take away her pain. Please also pray for her husband of 16 years Mike, her girls Katharine and Karaline (11 & 7) Lets see how many people world wide we can get praying with and for Kara and her precious family. Matthew 14 : 36 And they begged Him that they might only touch the afringe of His garment. And as many as touched were completely healed. Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour. Matthew 15:30 Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus' feet, and He healed them. Matthew 18:18 "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Matthew 18:19 "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on Earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven."

For Kara

Pray without ceasing, spend time consciously with God. He hears, listens and responds. You are always in His thoughts.

 

The Serenity Prayer  God grant me Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as the pathway to peace. Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen. By Reinhold Niebuhr

Mount Magazine

I was hoping for better conditions. There was just to much haze in the atmosphere to take good pics.

A view from Mt. Magazine. The highest point in Arkansas.

Florida Sunsets

My family and I took a trip to Florida. We went to Panama City and then on to a state park about an hour from there. It is called St. Joseph Peninsula State Park and it was definitely worth the hour drive.

Lightning Pictures

I am somewhat of a weather nut. I love to photograph the weather. Brian Stark and I photographed an incoming lightning storm back in early August 2011. Here are some pics

My new blog

Hmm. I have never created a blog before. This should be interesting. I drive a transit bus for the University of Arkansas. I have a lot of fun interacting with the different people who ride the bus. If you ride the bus you might see me on just about any route at any time of day.
