I am writing this looking for a Christmas miracle. But let me begin with a story, many years ago when i was a student at Queen’s University, I was not registering to go on a retreat, a friend asked me why. I said I could not afford it. He then rebuked me for not asking [...]

Hey all, My 4 year old, Nub, (who also has Down Syndrome) is having a hernia surgery Monday morning and I sure would appreciate your prayers. This is a complication from his open-heart surgery when he was 1 year old that saved his life. It’s supposed to be out-patient surgery and No Big Deal, but [...]

We get to see baby #2 in all his or her glory. Pray for us, for everything to be OK. Update:  “no abnormalities detected.”  It’s a brother! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!

…and it’s hard not to be worried, since #1 has Down syndrome. It is over 99% likely, based on that alone and my wife’s age, that #2 won’t.  (I think God wants me to trust Him 100%, not the numbers 99%.)  She’s in the middleish part of the “you ought to feel a kick” period [...]

My wife came home on Monday afternoon. She is still weak and has a long recovery ahead, but I’m glad she is alive and that she’s back with us. We have not begun to deal with the loss of a second child in three months. We wanted to have a large family. Who knows why [...]

Hi guys, Last week I asked you to pray for some friends of mine who were experiencing complications during pregnancy. We found out this morning that they lost the baby. Of course, they are devastated, so please offer up another prayer for their family. God bless.

Dear Dads, I feel like every time I post on this site, it is just asking for prayers for a terrible situation. In April, during Holy Week, I asked you to pray because my wife had a miscarriage with our second baby. Today I ask your prayers for my wife again. My wife was seven [...]

The prognosis is not good, and the family is asking for prayers, as their first born was diagnosed with the same thing and was miraculously healed, details follow.
