Krissy needs your prayers

Krissy's (Sometimes I Think) husband is back in the hospital.  He had a bone marrow transplant a while back and has had to be hospitalized again.  And it is pretty bad.  John is having to get 2 to 4 bags of blood a day. (read about it here: John's in the hospital again and here: John always has something going on).


Prayers can help more than you think.  But I think we can do a little more.  That's right.  I am asking everyone to go that extra mile.  Donate blood.

Let's have a virtual blood drive folks.  I know some can't give and there are some that want to but for whatever reason have been turned down.

I also realize that chances aren't good that your blood will actually go to John.  But I believe that if your heart is in the right place Krissy and John will get a blessing out of it.  You will be helping someone to live another day, another month, maybe a lifetime.


So this is what I want you to do.  Call your local Red Cross or blood bank.  Set up an appointment to give a pint of blood (you really don't need it) or if you can't do that then donate a dollar or more to the Red Cross (or American Cancer Assoiation) in honor of Krissy and John. 

A little can go a long way if everyone gives just a little.

So pass the word.  Steal my graphics if you want.  Leave prayers and well wishes over at Krissy's. 

And let's have a virtual blood drive!  (well not totally virtual, I want you to get out and give!)

Prayers are going up for you Krissy.  And for John.  You both are strong fighters.  You will get through this!

Prayers and good blessings are here for John and Krissy, while  I cant donate blood i certainly can call a few people that can and also donate to the Red Cross.

This is a wonderful idea!  I can't give either, but as poor as I am, I have a couple of bucks in my pocket and I'll head down there today.  Our household has been praying for John and Krissy twice a day and other times when they come to mind.  Yes, Prayer is very powerful.  Thanks for thinking of this.  Blessings, Penny http://journals.aol.com/firestormkids04/FromHeretoThere
