Dontsteponthemomeraths - Prayers especially for her lovely man (LM) as the court case heads to High Court, there have been so many delays but it should get there in January. That God would make a way, where there is no way, help him to afford the court fees and that he will finally have the closure; contact with his children and a maintenance agreement in place that is fair to him, his ex wife and to the children. For justice. It's 6 years since divorce due to her infidelity and it is so hard for him. The children and ex wife live in another Country and the legal system there is very different. Prayers that he has freedom from his past and doesn't live in it anymore but breaks free and moves forward in all God has for him.
And for my brother, that his thumb heals fully and that with the rehabilitation he regains movement and use and that his nerves and feelings across the top of his hand come back. The outlook is not positive currently.

I've had a big read through and pray. Gutted that I missed CC and Sooooooz when they were here. DO do you know how CD is? I often wonder how she is getting on. Also, is Bob's chest infection improving at all with these antibiotics?
I have decided that Christmas is officially over in our household (and so relieved that the pressure to buy something, anything is gone). Tomorrow is my dating scan and first consultant appointment to talk about preventing another premmie. I'm so nervous! I'm also on two different anti-sickness tablets now and thoroughly fed up with being so ill with this pregnancy. However, I still wouldn't trade with my friend who had a thanksgiving/funeral for her son born 20 weeks too soon this morning 
QUick question.... can anyone recommend an easy to remember version of the Lord's Prayer. The traditional version just doesn't make sense to me because it's old fashioned language and I always forget lines!.
Which version do you like or use ?
That's a good question cuddledup, is the version different in modern bibles like The Message? You could go on biblegateway.com, search Luke 11 and keep changing the translation until you find one you like?
I say it like a robot as I've gone to church my whole life and I do not even think about it
