My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer 3 years ago. Unfortunately, it is the aggressive kind so his Dr put him on a medication that prevents the production of testosterone and he did a round of radiation. His last PSA test showed a large spike in his PSA levels, and a PET scan showed the cancer has moved to his ribs and hips. There is a new treatment for prostate cancer that is very effective and he will begin that in June. His prognosis is good. If he responds to the treatment as expected he is looking at years to live, not months. Please pray that is the case. I lost my mom to bone cancer when I was 19. I can't bear the thought of losing my dad yet or watching him go through what my mom went through.

Even more importantly, I am not sure about his salvation. I know he believes and identifies as a Christian, but I don't know if he truly understands that the only way to heaven is Jesus. More than once I have wanted to talk to him about it but something always gets in the way. I am going to visit him in about a month, and I really need God to provide the opportunity for me to talk to him, and to give me the right words and give him and open mind and heart

My brother's hip has been giving him trouble the last few days. He's been walking with a cane and has fallen a couple of times. He has MS, and I'm so afraid this is related to his MS, but praying it is something that can mend. He's only 59, but has had MS for almost 10 years. It is so awful to watch his decline. He's a believer but doesn't have a church.

Thank you, and God bless you.

She's having a girl. I know I want to use a nice soft cotton in DK weight. I love I Love This Cotton, but it only comes in worsted weight. I want yarn that is very soft, easy to work with and tightly spun. (I hate yarn that splits.) I really want a self striping yarn because I don't want to deal with changing colors. It doesn't have to be very girly. Her favorite colors are turquoise and purple. They haven't decided on anything regarding the baby's room. If you have a favorite pattern you'd like to recommend, I'd love to see those too. TIA!

So far I've thought of hair barrettes or safety pins. Not crazy about safety pins, though.
