This year though, our daughter was battling a cold virus, so we had a Waltons marathon while we waited to take medicine. Although she couldn't really taste much of anything, she still wanted our traditional snack. :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-34097185882220157712018-01-04T13:33:40.109-06:002018-01-04T13:33:40.109-06:00Everyone who complains about TLC discriminating ag...Everyone who complains about TLC discriminating against christians need to contact the Duggars directly. If you feel so strongly let the family know how their fans feel, because THEY continue to do business with TLC, however I don't think this will achive anything, the bottom line is money on both sides, you might not like hearing it but that is the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-7416717545589889642018-01-04T11:00:34.028-06:002018-01-04T11:00:34.028-06:00I am disappointed in the number of Christians who ...I am disappointed in the number of Christians who still can't understand why it wasn't OK for Derick to say such things about a transgender child.

I pray for the health and salvation of family and friends, for our President to have wisdom guiding our country and for our country to be blessed and protected, for our missionaries around the world, for the persecuted church and for persecuted people in general -- women trapped in Islam, people trapped in slavery, human trafficking, victims of pedophilia, our troops, our wounded vets, our first responders, the sick and the grieving, those in prisons, ... for my kids to grow closer to the Lord and make right decisions, the list goes on and on....... I pray for people I read about here on the Duggar blog, those with prayer requests. To be honest, I rarely pray for my own needs... I have to remind myself to do that. And of course, I thank God for all of my blessings, despite the many hardships we all face in life... You could literally pray all day if you had a mind to. The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing, and I can see why... Prayer is really just talking to God... <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-10239373561674841272018-01-03T19:42:19.743-06:002018-01-03T19:42:19.743-06:00Neddy, sounds like you had a great day.
