HELP: A Family Needs Us

I know many of you already follow this family's blog. I hope they do not mind me posting this but I felt compelled to tell everyone I know about what they are facing in the next few days so that we can storm the heavens on their behalf.

We are all family here and there is nothing that we do better than lift in prayer and/or support.

So let's stand in the gap for this family shall we?

Abby is a true hero, and so is her whole family.

I have been praying and will not stop praying.

Thank-you for helping to get the word out for the Riggs.

WE LOVE YOU ABBY!
