Blogging Break for Calamity Acres

Friends, we ask for your prayers. 

We have suffered an unbelieveable loss here. 

Keith's youngest son, Brandon, who spent his high school years with us, 
was found dead Tuesday in his apartment in Council Bluffs, 
where he was living and working. 

We are devastated, and ask that you pray for Keith and his family, who are suffering this horrible loss so badly. 

His sisters Andrea, Amber and Lauren have now lost their second brother. 

Our world is reeling, but we know God has a plan for all of us, and He called
Brandon home very early. 

We'll be back soon... until then, please remember us in your prayers.
