Oh Sharon, I am so saddened at the services our country is stopping. Julianne and her needs will definitely be in prayer. And, also, I pray that our country stops frivilous pork spending, and watches over her constiuents in a responsible manner.

Remembering, too, Adam. His birthday would be tomorrow. Keep Florence continually wrapped in your arms.
Bless those who want to remember the lives of those they loved with actions and deeds. Amen

Please pray for Nadine and all of Grant's family. This is her post on Molly's Adopt a Sailor page.
Comment by Grantsmom 10 hours ago I was wondering if someone could please help me. I lost my precious son Grant this week-end in a terible car accident. He had just finished the nuclear program and was waiting to head out to San Diego to be on the CVN - 70 Carl Vinson. I guess that was not Gods plan. My question to anyone is I wanted donations made to Mollys adopt a sailor program. Is there anyone specific they sould be sending that to? At the time I am unable to find who is in charge of it. Thanks Nadine

Dear Lord, I just want to say Thank you for everything. Father, I rejoice in you and lay every need and concern at your feet. I put my concerns into your Hands and pray. You are amazing, your Love has filled my heart and no one will ever destroy my Love for you.

This one gives me hope....




This is one of the kindest things you may see. It is not known who replied, but there is definitely a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office of the US postal service.



Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed
Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when
Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I
thought we could so she dictated these words:

Dear God,
Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is
with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that
you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.

I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and to swim.
I am sending a picture of her so when you see her You will know
that she is my dog. I really miss her.

Love, Meredith

We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then
Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope
because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the
letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it
into the letter box at the post office.

A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet.
I told her that I thought He had.

Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it.
Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.'

Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to
God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the
picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:


Dear Meredith,

Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a
big help. I recognized Abbey right away.

Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays
in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog.

Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for
you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.

Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping
you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother
you have. I picked her especially for you.

I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much.
By the way, I'm easy to find, I am wherever there is love.

Love, God

Our troops have been so thankful in the notes we're getting back from Molly's Adopt a Sailor and the Heads at Ease program navigated by Sue. Can you imagine someone saying thanks to us? God, we ask that you bless all our military branches and that you keep all their families safe.

GRAY SUMMIT, MO (KTVI-FOX2now.com) - A serious accident happened on Interstate 44 and Highway 100 near Gray Summit, Missouri around 10:30am Thursday. Two people are confirmed dead, 19 year old Daniel Schatz of Sullivan, MO and 15 year old Jessica Brinker, from St. James, MO. Schatz was the driver of a GMC pick-up. Brinker was a passenger on a school bus.

The buses were full of students from St. James High School on their annual band trip to 6 Flags in Eureka. As many as 50 students total were on the buses.

According to the Missouri Highway Patrol, at about 10:15am, in the Eastbound lanes of I-44, traffic was backed up in the right hand lane, due to highway construction in Pacific.

The highway patrol says a GMC pickup rear-ended a Volvo semi truck in the right lane. The driver of the first school bus was carrying the girls from the John. F. Hodges High School marching band. The driver saw a vehicle on the right shoulder and moved over to the left lane to avoid that car.

While the bus driver was checking her mirrors to make sure it was safe to return to the right lane, she did not see that the GMC pick-up had hit the semi truck. The first bus then hit the GMC pick-up and the semi truck. The second school bus, carrying the boys, then hit the back of the first bus.

The other fatality in the accident is a female student, that was riding in the first bus.

The speed limit on that stretch of highway is 70 miles an hour.

All lanes of eastbound I-44 were closed until around 4:00pm while the accident reconstruction team worked the accident scene and cleanup took place. Large cranes were called in to remove the buses from the accident scene.


After The Accident


News traveled fast from friends and students in the accident. School officials called the parents of students who were injured first. Because the field trip was headed to Six Flags, many of the students had not brought their cell phones because they planned on playing in the water park, but friends were talking on Facebook and Twitter soon after.

SkyFOX could see students sitting on the pavement after the accident, while others could be seen being placed on stretchers and put in ambulances.

The injured were taken to six area hospitals:
35 patients to Cardinal Glennon – students with minor injuries
6 patients to St. John's Creve Coeur
5 patients to St. John's Washington
4 patients to St. Clare Fenton
2 patients to Missouri Baptist – both have been released
1 patient to Children's Hospital – a female in serious condition

Dangerous Highway


This is not the first time this stretch of road has seen a fatal accident. Between 2000 and 2007, there were 19 crashes with 33 deaths along I-44 between I-270 and Grey Summit. Many of the accidents have occurred near the exit to Six Flags.

Criminal charges were filed in connection to an accident in July 2005 near Six Flags that killed five members of the same family.

Thomas Miskel, the driver of the dump truck that hit the minivan carrying that family, was charged with five counts of involuntary manslaughter.

Miskel, who was 43 when the crash happened, was driving a dump truck loaded with rock when it slammed into the back of the minivan, which was stopped in traffic near the Six Flags exit.

The family was on their way to the amusement park.

Angi Huckaba was driving the car. She was killed along with two of her children, Josh, 6, and Jacob, 9, her brother, Brett Willingham, 14, and her sister, Amy Willingham, 18.

Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch says there was no evidence of alcohol or drugs in Miskel, nor was there any evidence of excessive speed.

He says it was a clear day and Miskel simply was not paying attention, hitting the minivan at full speed of about 60 miles per hour.

12 other people were hurt in the crash.

Miskel's 15-year-old son was in the dump truck with him when the crash happened.
