Pray for these:
1. Andy Shorter, my childhood friend, died last week of a brain aneurysm, leaving his mother to bear the burden of life on her own, only months after her husband and his father left them both for the siren song of a love affair. Andy was one of my first and only friends when my family first moved us from Woodland Hills to Douglas Hills. He, Jason, and I spent many an afternoon throwing Lego men into the street as cars were passing by. Please pray for Andy, and his mother and father.
2. Authorities say a mother stabbed her two children to death, then fatally shot herself yesterday at their home in the 200 block of Appomattox Road near Fairdale. Jefferson County Deputy Coroner R.D. Jones identified the mother as Hope Orwick, 35, and the children as Emily Orwick, 9, and Lindsey Orwick, 8. Jones said Hope Orwick died of a gunshot wound in the head, and the girls were both stabbed to death. Louisville Metro Police Chief Robert White said officers were called to the home by a family member. The call came in just before 7:30 p.m., said police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley. -- via Louisville's Courier Journal Please pray for these girls and their family.
3. My friend Shaun's dog, Shelby, died yesterday of an aneurysm. This is what he said: "She was her normal "wacky" self today running around dragging her
squeakies all over the house and barking at anything and everything.
Around 8pm she began not feeling well and just laying around not
playing and around 10pm she was in obvious pain. We took her to the
emergency vet and they found that she had some internal bleeding and
they took her straight to surgery. Around midnight we got the call that
she didn't make it. She had an aneurysm in one of her main arteries.
Everything happened so fast. One minute she was fine and the next, she
was gone. She was only 4 years old and we got her when she was 5 weeks
old. She is our baby and we lost her."
Please pray for Shaun and Michelle as they grieve over Shelby.
