From Heather T an update on her uncle that we have been praying for:
Hey Everyone,
We got a call on Saturday that Uncle Jim had a stroke and probably wouldn’t make it until Christmas. But we got a call late yesterday evening that he passed away on Sunday. Please pray for the family that they would be comforted and also that they would be able to make plans around Christmas. At least some of us will probably be going for the funeral at the end of this week, but it’s a long round trip. We’ve been praying that Uncle Jim would have a speedy recovery or an easy death, and it appears that he had just that. He never seemed to have any pain (amazing for a cancer patient) and now the family is confident that he is in heaven.
In Christ,
~Heather
From Mr & Mrs H2O:
We will be going to Ohio this week. While there Chip will be seeing a spine reconstruction specialist to get a second opinion. Your continued prayers for healing would be a blessing to us.

PRAYER FOR HEALING
Dear Friends,
Many of you know that Chip has been having neck and back pain. After all the tests, MRI's , and visits with specialists the outlook is not good. Yesterday we saw a neck specialist who went over the MRI in detail with us. Basically his words were that there was not anything "normal" in Chip's neck and fixing it would be very major. Chip's spine is curved the wrong way in his neck region, he has 3 disks that have major problems and they are not all in a row in the spine. We were given two options by the Dr-the first was a very invasive surgery. They would basically rebuild/reshape the spine. They would open up the back and the front of Chip's neck and reconstruct the spine and fix the disks. The other option was to fix two of the disks with a surgery through the front of his neck. He was not encouraging or reassuring that either of these would be successful. Because of the unnatural curve in the spine the normal surgery for fixing disks in the neck is highly likely to fail. (This is the second option above.) We really do not feel that either option is a "good" option. We may try to get yet another opinion from Dr's at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, but to be quite frank, we are asking the Lord to heal and straighten Chip's spine. I will be honest with you, we are scared and fear is a constant battle. Please pray for us.

Justin the stormchaser needs our prayers
I recieved this from Mrs. T, if you haven't already talked with Justin, he was driving back to school after the Casting Crowns concert the other night, drinking a coke to stay awake, and choked! He coughed so hard he injured his back! Ever since he was little I have tried to instill in him not to drink and drive....(I shouldn't joke about this, however, if you know Justin, you know why I feel a liberty to razz him a bit.) Anyway, from Mrs. T:
Justin might have ruptured a disc in his back this week. He went to a University of Missouri Physician in Columbia today and they want to do a MRI on him next week. He has been placed on some medications to help with the pain. If the H2O group would please pray for him....please pray for his healing and that he would be able to concentrate for his finals. Thank you all so much. The T. Family

PRAYER FOR ZACH AND FAMILY
Hi everyone,
Zach's mom called this morning and asked for all of us to pray for them. Things are not going well with the future adoption of Kate. The social workers and lawyers are granting the birth mother extended visits and seem to be leaning towards the mother eventually taking Kate. Most of you know that she is mentally unstable and has already lost 3 other children to the adoption system. Please pray for Kate to remain safe through her visits and for the social system to choose what is best for Kate's welfare and saftey. One determining factor seems to be that the lawyer for the social system is against homeschoolers and thus is making decisions that are not based on the best interest of Kate. Pray for the family that they will have peace and wisdom as they make decisions regarding Kate's future.

Prayer request from Monica
Hey all you praying friends-here is a need from Monica-
Hello all,
I just got a call from my grandmother. They have recently discovered that my mom’s Uncle Jim has cancer in his lungs. Part of it has migrated to his brain as well. He is having rapid weight loss as a side effect of that. The doctors have only just found it, and are running quite a few tests to find out what if anything can be done.
Please pray that God would give the doctors wisdom, Uncle Jim comfort and confidence, and ultimately, healing from this cancer. I do not know if he is a Christian, so please pray that the Lord would use this time to draw him close and show him the truth.
Thank you all!
In Him,
Monica

A NOTE FROM JUSTIN
Dearest Friends,
Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, tears, and hugs. Today started as a rough day and only got rougher in the afternoon, your love and the love of our Father in Heaven soothed our hearts. Your encouragement has meant so much to me and my family through these hard times.
I also wanted to thank you for the overwhelming amount of food you gave us, we didn’t fully realize the volume until we opened the five coolers at home. They were full of homemade breads, cookies, cheesecakes, casseroles, cookies, casseroles, the biggest ham I’ve ever seen that wasn’t walking around, chili, and cookies, enough food for a long time. They say that the freezer is most efficient when full, ours must be running pretty efficiently right now. Your loving gifts will, and already have, really helped, Mom needs a lot of rest and it is a great blessing for her not to need to worry about making sure we have meals.
When unpacking your coolers tonight I told Mom, “We have the most awesome friends ever”, and not just for the food, for your love to and from each other and the amazing Christian friendship you radiate.
Love you all,
JIT for the Titus family

Prayer for the Titus family
I wanted to let everyone know that Tammy has gone into labor and they are expecting the arrival of Isabella sometime today. Please lift the family in your prayers today. I do not know if Justin has made it home from college yet, I know it was important for him to be here as they do not know the length of time they will have with little Belle before she goes to be with our Lord.
You can send messages to them through this site if you want, I will be sure to post them or send them through the Caringbridge site the family has set up. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/isabellahopetitus

urgent prayer request from Joy
Hi Everyone,
I received the following e-mail from Joy, I know her family would appreciate your prayers.
Hey everyone, I'm sending this out in request of asking prayer for an Aunt and Uncle of mine. My Uncle Terry Bangart, my Mom's brother, has been fighting an incureable cancer for the last two years, and it's finally to the point he's going to try for surgery. The bad news is that he only has a 10% chance of living though the surgery. He's going in for the opperation on Friday. And, to top off the worst of the news, their youngest son, who was only about two years older than I am, was found shot in his appartment this morning. I cannot even begin to fathom what my Aunt Holly is going through right now, trying to cope with her son's death and the possiblity that her husband may be gone as well in another few days. Please, keep them in your prayers in the days to come, and if I hear anything more I'll let you know. thanks so much, Joy

See you Sat
Hey everyone,
Can't wait for Sat, looks like the weather is going to be wonderful!! See that crazy tornado chaser's forecast in the comments section on the last post. (I am sure he will update us if anything changes!) The vote was a landslide on the side of water balloon wars-so come prepared, figure out your strategy, and see if you can stay dry. I suppose in order to avoid a revolution we will have to make time for frisbee....
See you tomorrow,
Mrs. H2O

Sat H2O
Anybody want to do a post on the Sat H2O? I had a great time and we have been using some of the one liners from the skits already today. However, I'm not sure I will ever get over spandex togas....way too much visual there!!!! Who remembers the answer to "This animal is white and uses a shrill voice while dealing with it's mate?" What was your favorite line?

anybody out there??
Hey everyone,
This is a test!! Anyone out there still reading this blog? We have been so lame at writing and keeping up with it-we have had a few good excuses!! Anyway, we will get busy with it again if anyone is interested-just send us a word or two!! Looking forward to hearing from some of you. Don't forget to rsvp for the H2O this Sat-I think there might be a vicious kickball game in the works.
