Prayers for TexasCowboy!

TexasCowboy has been using his hip injury as an excuse to prevent his friends from shooting his new riot gun.

Well some of us offered to take a look at it for him and he decided both a proffesional and sober opinion might make more sense.

So he found a coupon and now he is going to let some old saw-bones cut on him.

Probably a better idea than letting us do it, but a few folks feelings are still hurt!

Please all say a prayer for our Cowboy that he is back in the saddle again real soon.

Oh wow! I'm gone for a couple of days and all kinds of things happen. Maybe I should leave more often. Wonderful to know that you made such a trip for T.C. That was a beautiful thing you did. I love the pictures. Actually I crave pictures of Logan. I do believe that he's the cutest thing this side of creation. He has to be the best medicine in the world for T.C. Continued prayers for our cowboy and his lovely Faith.

and this was in today's news paper and made me think of TC

Hugs good for health, research suggests

WASHINGTON - A simple snuggle can help lower blood pressure and reduce stress, a new study suggests.

The researchers' theory is that a heartwarming pause and cuddle suppress stress hormones and release oxytocin, a human hormone that's associated with maternal love.

Thirty-eight couples participated in the study, which measured blood pressure, stress levels and oxytocin before and after they discussed a happy moment together, watched five minutes of a romantic film and shared a 20-second hug.

The result, according to an article in the latest issue of the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, was lower levels of the stress hormones cortisol and norepinephrine and higher levels of oxytocin in both men and women. Those shifts all contribute to cardiac health.

Women were found to be more responsive to warm partner contact. Dr. Karen Grewen, a psychiatrist at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and lead researcher, said oxytocin and the female reproductive hormone estrogen were closely related, which may be why women were more responsive to the hormone than men were. Grewen and her fellow researchers theorized that beneficial hormonal shifts stimulated by mellow romance are a health benefit that a loving marriage confers. Conversely, the shifts may help explain why divorce is linked to increased mortality.

:) Just that he is the sweetest baby. Our first and we love him so much. Same as all grams and gramps, right? Thanks for the congrats!!! We feel so blessed. We looked at him and remembered Logan and his struggle. We can't imagine how hard that must have been for Logan's family, his Nana, You and all us Freepers but...we stuck together, prayed hard together and now look at him on a driving trip to visit TC. :)

We pray for our baby, Logan and all the other babies out there too. God bless all those little angels. :)

[BIGLOOK]

The best therapy I've seen.....Bless you all!

[Texas Termite]

Wowieeeeeeeee!!! A little baby boy :)

You won't believe how he's going to get to your heart. A little stinky!! LOL I only thought baby girls were the sweetest until Logan came along. Now I see how wrong I've been!!

Give our love and hugs to Mommy & Daddy and of course the wee one.

And thank you for your continued love for Logan.

Nana

(p.s. .... we flew. Logan would NEVER sit in a car for a trip like that. He hates to be in a car. Always has and I guess he always will)

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You for the sweet fellowship that flows from Your children ... how blessed we are to partake of this fellowship through the kinship of our beloved Texans ... Termite and Cowboy. As surely as You have touched the one at the beginning of his life; surely You have touched the other in the middle of his life ... sustaining both unto the fullness of time. May it be, Merciful Father, that Your healing hand would rest mightily upon TC in this hour ... grant unto him and his medical team complete victory over the enemy of his body. Renew him daily with every good thing, that he might magnify the beauty of Your love. Refresh and renew Faith in her hour of need, O God ... may the prayers of the saints fall upon these two with all heavenly power. We praise You, Sovereign Lord, for the way You have knit boy and man and their families ... we praise You, Sovereign Lord, that these bonds will last throughout all eternity, such is Your love. Blessed be Your Name forever and ever, Amen ...
