Yummy to my tummy!

Tonights Simple Supper meal was out of this world good!
I don't know if y'all checked the Farmer's Almanac to find out that it was going to be freezing cold, or if it was a lucky guess!!
A hot bowl of chicken and dumplings were just what the doctor ordered!

Update on Janie Russell - 1/6

I just received this message from Kevin Russell:
I would like to ask for prayers for Janie Russell and family as mother's health has been declining
We as a family are providing care for her at home with the help of hospice.  
She for the most part does not complain about pain and discomfort but we would like to ask for prayers for peace and comfort during this time of her life
Will keep you updated.

Hmmmmmm.....

Prayer Request - 1/5

Please keep my niece Carol McMillan in your prayers. She was diagnosed with lung cancer last January and then adrenal gland cancer last month. She's taken treatments at the cancer center here in Paris and they feel it's time to seek further treatment.
She has been accepted for treatment at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Chicago. (The closest one in Tulsa doesn't accept their insurance.) She and my nephew Clint leave on January 25th to start this journey.
Please keep this young couple in your prayers.  Not only for complete healing and eradication of these 2 separate cancers, but for their safety in travel away from family and friends.
