- At A Hen's Pace
- What does a hen do all day? Nothing but walk about in endless circles, pecking at this or that--yet she is one of the most creative and productive of God's creatures. Though my days may take me in circles, I pray for the daily fruitfulness of a hen as I nurture the four boys and two girls God has given us.

I am so sorry to hear about this - I'm lifting the families and friends up right now.
I am sorry as well... prayers are easy to give. No problem. Peace to you and your friends...
oh, that's so awful! praying.
Lord have mercy! Christ have mercy!
I will be praying today.
Warmly,
Diane
Thank you all for your prayers!
I'm giving their girls a ride to and from play practice tonight--wishing there was more I could do. So--I'm praying.
Thank you so much for your prayers. As a whole the campus is going to be so much stronger because of the pain we suffered together. Your prayers, and the prayers of others are the only thing getting us through this.
