Apologies to those of you who sent emails and letters asking about access. I'm not ready to blog, but I opened the gates because I'd like those near and far to pray for our beloved Grandma Owen. Last Friday, I took this last-hurrah picture of Annika with everyone wearing flannels Grandma gave them, last Saturday, Tim and Annika joyfully joined hands in marriage, and last Sunday, Dudette received a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia as the explanation for her recent health troubles. Her diagnosis came almost exactly nine years to the day after my dad received his diagnosis of the same, and the timing is baffling. Today, Annika moved to her new home 10 hours away, and Dudette begins her first treatment.
Please pray for the Lord to comfort her, Dude, her children, her grandchildren, and the whole family-- to wrap them in peace in an uncertain time-- and, in His good mercy, to strengthen and restore her body. <3

"Fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
(I love the flannel-clad crew. That was such a nice idea.)
You're back online! Whew! I was going to start sending smoke signals this week if you weren't back online today.
I'm so sorry to hear of Dudette's diagnosis. I hope her treatments go well. I know the Lord is with you and I'll keep you all in my prayers.
Sooooo many prayers for Dudette!
Note -- I have access to your blog AS LONG AS I DON'T have my gmail open. Don't know why. So X out of gmail & then click on shotsnaps!
Daily, we specifically pray that all the comforts of God are hers today and every day - that fear flees, anxiety ambles off, and the peace that passes all understanding sustains Dudette in every way. Asking the God of all HOPE for healing.
Love the photo! Great idea!! Beautiful family!!!
Much love!
Thanks so much for the love and prayers for Grandma and all. May God strengthen her through them! <3
Praying for comfort and strength and hope to shine through.
Praying for you all.
