Please pray for Kolby.
He is a one year old twin boy battling cancerous tumors throughout his body. He recently had surgery to remove one wrapped around his spine, but more tumors remain. Pray for a miracle of complete healing.
Thank you.
Show love to this baby, I citied the words
Please keep my baby in your prayers… God, please let me keep him.
His doctor told us today that he hasn’t gained any weight since coming home from the NICU.
If he doesn’t gain weight by next week, he’ll be diagnosed with “failure to thrive.” That could mean his organs start to shut down, and he’ll have to be hospitalized for some time.
He’s also being referred to a specialist for concerns about his heart.
Please, God… please protect my baby.

@mattvanswol Aww, I love that! 🥹 And kudos to @ChickfilA and that manager for showing that age does not define your worth. It’s not often a company hires someone at such an advanced age. Well done. 👏 Mr. Gil is a gem.
@mattvanswol MR. Gill thank you for being a cherished believer, a man of integrity, who just brighten my day! Sir you are a prime example of the world I choose to live in! Your story has just given me, and MILLIONS of others what LOVE THE LORD HAS FOR US ALL! God bless you!
In 1940, a pair of identical twin boys were born in Ohio and placed for adoption just weeks after birth. They were sent to different families who had no contact with each other. Neither family knew much about the other. Each set of parents, independently, chose to name their new son James.
The two boys grew up in separate homes, in separate towns, living what appeared to be entirely separate lives. But as researchers would later discover, the parallels running through those lives were almost impossible to believe.
Both boys went by the nickname Jim. Both married a woman named Linda, then divorced her. Both then remarried a woman named Betty. Both had a son and named him James Alan. Both owned a dog at some point in their childhood and gave it the same name: Toy. Both had worked in law enforcement. Both drove the same model of Chevrolet. Both had built a white bench around a tree in their backyard.
Neither Jim knew the other existed until 1979, when they were 39 years old and finally reunited.
The case of James Springer and James Lewis, known ever since as the Jim Twins, became one of the most studied examples in the history of twin research. University of Minnesota researchers used their reunion as a landmark moment in understanding how much of human personality, preference, and behavior is shaped by genetics rather than environment.
Two men raised by strangers in different towns. Same name. Same marriages. Same dog. Same sons. Same bench in the backyard.
Some things, it turns out, run deeper than circumstance.
