Pray for this family

The Farley's go to my church. Their daughter, Copeland, was born last Tuesday and has Trisomy 18, a chromosomal abnormality to which there is no cure. They were not expecting to bring her home from the hospital. She came home Friday, but they are in a constant state of waiting for her to take her last breath. This is a heart-wrenching blog to read. Boothe and Conor's faith is truly astounding.

She says at one point "while I do believe even now the Father can heal her, we are walking with hope in the Lord that He will reveal Himself to us in a fresh and mighty way tonight - not that she will defy science or statistics, but that she will be free in Him... and that Conor and I, in the Lord's perfect provision, will perhaps defy what the world says two young parents holding their dying child can never be counted on to do: sing His praises".

Please go read as much as you can handle, and PRAY for them.
