Twenty-six years ago today, Bill and I were saying "I do" in the prayer room at Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa. Time flies when you're having fun, huh? We are thankful for God's blessing on us and our kids, and pray for 26 more years--at least--together.

Annie is still having trouble sleeping. I feel like a zombie this morning. The doctor said to let him know if the sleep med doesn't work. I should e-mail him a picture of me sitting here now and he could see for himself how well it's working.

Monday we went to the ophthamologist at Children's. He said her recovery was remarkable. I told him that many people prayed for Annie, and God has healed her eyesight. He talked about how the brain has the capacity to recover function after brain injury--and my thought (in the elevator leaving the hospital, of course) was: "Who invented That?"

So, as we continue to knock on heaven's door, my good friend, Gretchen, who frequently posts encouraging comments here, has offered to schedule a prayer day for Annie this Friday, the 21st. It's the 8-month mark since her initial seizure. If you'd like to join in, go to www.gretchen-quantumleap.blogspot.com and sign up in the space below Annie's story. I know you all having been so faithful in your prayers for her, but Friday you can feel like you're at a concert of prayer.

Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. James 5:16
