There is a little girl in Phoenix, she and her family need our prayers. On Monday of this week, she had a CAT scan to determine why she was having a tremor in her hand. It was immediately discovered that she had a massive tumor in her brain. She is undergoing surgery this morning. Please be in prayer for Kate and family. You can visit their Caring Bridge site to read their journal and view their video below.

They're fun. They're pretty. They're fun for the whole family. They're tradition. They can also be dangerous. According to the Red Cross, there are nearly 9,000 injuries related to fireworks per year. In a recent study, 40% of firework injuries happened to to children under 15 years of age, 23% of those to children under the age of 5.

However, if fireworks are used correctly, they can be enjoyed. Thanks to our own disaster diva, we've not only got fireworks safety tips but also water and grilling safety tips.
