Sunday Morning Thoughts

My FB news feed is abuzz with these headlines. 

• Cory Monteith - RIP
  
• Marissa Alexander - I am more than a little horrified
  
• George Zimmerman - I have no words

World and local news is important; although, I really do enjoy a bit of time with my head in the sand while wearing my rose colored glasses. I do like to be informed enough to have a halfway decent grasp of what's going on so I don't come off as an idiot.

BUT

My news feed is also abuzz with updates from Amy and other friends. The people who make my heart happy and who I know in real life. So, without further ado, I present: 

AMY UPDATES as of this morning:
Praise God, the doctor just came in. Everything has been read and there are no tumors on the spine!!!

Request: If anyone would like to make Jake a picture or get well card, or even a little sign that says something we would appreciate it. He will be in ICU quite a few days, but when he gets back to his room after surgery we would like to have stuff on the wall for him. 

Note from Maggie: Surgery is TUESDAY, 7-16. If it's in the mail by tomorrow he should have it.
Riley Hospital
705 Riley Hospital Dr
Indianapolis, IN 46202
Room 9111 for Jacob Anders

As you can see, Jake loves monkeys. He is referring to the probes on his head as Cheerios. Seriously, how can you not love this family and this kid? Their faith allows them to laugh and have fun in the face of the craziness they have lived through this year. 

Please continue to keep them in your thoughts.

I wanna be free to know
The things I do are right
