JoAnnA Pierrotti and Ron of Moss Hill Studios

Many of you know dear JoAnnA Pierrotti of Moss Hill Studios and JoAnnA's Art Journal...she has shared her struggles with breast cancer over the last couple of years. The love of her life...her dear husband Ron who is a dear sweet soul himself, has been diagnosed with a new brain tumor that is large and growing daily and must be removed surgically immediately. Well Ron was laid off recently and neither of them have medical coverage anymore and the last surgery he had about 9 yrs ago was approx $250,000 Paperwork has been submitted to SS and they originally were told the surgery may be approved for next Thurs the 24th...with so many prayers and people with connections this may now be moved up to Mon or Tues...please please please pray for Ron and JoAnnA and if you have any ability to help out financially that would be greatly appreciated. Without the surgery he has only about a month to live and that would be tragic indeed. Here is the link to JoAnnA's blog so that you can read more detail and keep updated as God's hand is moving in this situation to be sure.

Merry Christmas!

I'd like to take a moment to post my wish for you and that is to have a Very Merry Christmas...it's so important at this time to remember the reason for the season...

Luke 2: 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.


11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 "Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

this message and act of love is one that gives hope to all mankind...without prejudice, to all who will accept the Lord Jesus Christ...I send warm greetings to one and all and hope you will enjoy the love and comfort that makes this the best holiday season second only to Easter.
