WE'RE STILL SICK
Closed. Will open soon.
Kristy is resting and holding her own. I have a terrible bug. Aren't you glad this virus doesn't travel over the Internet?

CHRISTIAN LOVE STORIES
"When I found the one I love, I held him and would not let him go" (Song of Solomon 3:4). My name is Kristy Dykes, and I write Christian love stories for Barbour Publishing...perhaps because I live with a hero husband. At this site, I cover marriage, romance, and Christian fiction. These book titles make me smile--and offer great truths: Sometimes I Wake Up Grumpy and Sometimes I Let Him Sleep, Love Extravagantly, Every Marriage Is A Fixer-Upper, Red-Hot Monogamy.

Kristy is resting and holding her own. I have a terrible bug. Aren't you glad this virus doesn't travel over the Internet?

Bless your hearts. I hope somebody is taking you some chicken soup. I would if I were there but alas, that doesn't travel over the Internet, either. With love and prayers, Kathy
Boo hoo for you! That "bug" needs to pack his bags!!!!!! Praying that that very thing will happen TODAY!
GOD, MILTON SHARES THAT YOUR PRESENCE IS ASTOUNDING IN THEIR HOME. I PRAY THAT YOU'LL GIVE BOTH MILTON AND KRISTY A DOUBLE PORTION OF YOUR STRENGTH TODAY, THAT THE GLORY OF THE LORD WILL BE REVEALED IN A FRESH, NEW PERSPECTIVE! TOUCH, REFRESH, AND RENEW IS OUR PLEA. WE PRAISE YOU FOR YOUR GOODNESS, YOUR POWER AND YOUR EVER-ABIDING LOVE...IN THE SWEET, NAME OF JESUS!
"Victory in Jesus, my Savior Forever..He sought me and He bought me with His redeeming pow'r. He loved me e'r I knew Him and all my love is due Him...."
You're in my thoughts and prayers,
Cathy (TN)
Praying for you both for healing, and protection for the rest of the family from catching "it".
And yes, I'm so glad that the internet is not plaqued by that kind of bug.
Blessings,
Lord Jesus, please put your healing arms around Milton. Raise him up and we also continue to ask Lord for your miraculous touch upon Kristy, restoring her also to health. Glorify Yourself in all that you cause to happen.
I put my mask on to read this ... just in case. :) Tough to care for soemone when you need to be cared for. Praying for you both.
Praying for you all

Lord, I ask that you comfort both Kristy and Milton while this bug passes through his system and give him a full and speedy recovery.
We are praying for you both today. So sorry you are feeling sick, Milton. May God comfort you both.
Love and prayers from,
Carrie in NJ
Milton, I'm so sorry you're sick with that bug. I'm praying that God will heal you quickly and give you added strength. May the comfort and peace of God's presence in your home continue to cover you and Kristy.
Prayers and blessings,
Lavada
Praying for you all
In Mass this weekend, one of the prayer concerns we shared was for the chronically or terminally ill and their caregivers. Among the people I prayed for were you and Kristy.
I'm sure one of the first things Kristy would want you to do is to take good care of your own health (including eating well and exercising and resting when you can!)--not only so that you can take care of her, but also so that you can be the best you can be for yourself and your other ministries. I've never met her, but she strikes me as being that way.
Rest in the Lord, and know that you all are in many, many people's prayers.
Uncle Milton,
I just got over the same bug yesterday. It was probably the sickest I've ever been, so I'm praying for you and Aunt Kristy today. I've been praying for you everyday, but I know it must be so difficult for you, not being able to spend every possible moment with Aunt Kristy. I love you both and wish that there was something I could do to help. I'm sure Julie and Jennifer are taking good care of you though. Love you,
Caroline
Praying with all my love for both Milton and Kristy
Ok, enough of this, I'm really starting to get iritated. Bug - be squashed, in the name of Jesus and get out of that house and away from this precious family. Pour out your protection on Kristy Lord, and heal her with your amazing power. In Jesus name.
Sometimes I get so fed up with the enemy...
Blessings,
Such wonderful prayers and comments this day. I will just say "Ditto"!
God Bless and get well quick ! ~~~
