Abby Riggs - Please Pray For Her

Hi Guys - I have something important to write about today. I was on Facebook reading through my friends statuses and saw that one of my friends was "Praying For Abby". Her status included a link to a blog. This blog chronicles the story of a little girl named Abby, she has Leukemia. She's going through chemotherapy right now and is just about to enter possibly THE most dangerous and painful phase yet. I've read the blog in its entirety and have seen the postings which mention the horrible pain she has already gone through. I would just ask that any of you who visit our blog please take a moment to visit Abby's blog and in that moment while the blog is loading, say a little prayer for her. Her family has many specific prayer requests, some for good pain control, some for Abby to have energy and some for them to have the energy to get through the day. These are very trying times for them, but their faith is keeping them strong. They know that even if she does not get well here on Earth, she WILL be well in Heaven.

So, before bed tonight, say a little prayer for a sweet little girl that you most likely don't know.

Also, if you have specific prayer requests, Abby's father has a prayer network on the site. See below:

We participate in "Pray for Me... Pray for Others" on the Riggs Family Blog. Check out their blog to add your prayer request.

Thank you and have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

The Addiction

Okay, so what is it with facebook. that makes it so addictive? We've been hearing for several months now that we should join because the rest of Tony's family has accounts. But, since we have this blog and a MySpace account I didn't really want to mess with having info and pictures and friend requests and whatever else that was associated with a new account. Well, my friend that I used to work with who now lives in Dallas and I only see once in a very blue moon sent me a friend request to my email. I saw that he had pics on his account but I couldn't see them without joining and becoming his friend. Well, I wanted to see how much his little boys had grown, so I joined with the sole purpose of looking at his pictures and then that would be the end of it. That's exactly what I did... until a few hours later when I got back on the computer just to check out all of Tony's family's accounts. They were all set to private, so of course I sent a friend request and that was the start of the MAJOR addiction. A day and a half and 23 friends later, I'm well on my way to having a facebook problem. At least I can admit it, the first step is admitting you have a problem. The point of all this is that I like facebook much better than mySpace now. It's way easier to use and you don't have to worry about setting up a layout or anything. Cool Beans! (whoa, 80's throwback!) Also, Tony liked it so much that he set up his own account. It's pretty cool and if you are a member look us up and add us as your friend.
