My Dear Ladies,
It has been *so* long since I have written on this blog. WOW. Things have been so busy at work and around the Fitzpatrick house but today I got some news that compelled me to get on the blog immediately. Joanne Heim, a dear siesta, suffered a stroke this morning. She is the thirty-eight year old wife of Toben and mother of Audrey (12) and Emma (9). Some of you around here may know her as the Simple Wife. Joanne has inspired me countless times with her witty and profound comments. She is a brilliant student of Scripture, an amazingly devoted wife, and a fun and creative Mom. The last time I heard from her she told me that she was teaching her girls Greek. My heart was pierced when I heard the news a few hours ago and I have not been able to get the Heims out of my mind. Please hear me when I say that I know nothing except that Joanne has been in surgery, they located a blood clot, and she is out of surgery. I have been stalking news about her on Twitter, and apparently she is still sleeping but has been responsive by squeezing her husband’s hand. The family will not know anything substantial until she wakes up. I am not an authority on what is going on as I have very few details (and the ones I do have are from Twitter!), but Mom, Amanda and I do want to invite you to pray for our dear sister Joanne. If you feel inclined, please use the comments on this post as prayers for Joanne and family. We have been told that there is a call to prayer tonight at 6:00 CST. Check Twitter (@joanneheim/#prayingforjoanne) because the last we heard, they were going to try to Skype. No matter when, no matter where, let us all join together and pray for all things concerning the Heim family.
Love to you all,
Melissa
Oh, we bring JoAnne and the entire Hiem family to You, Jesus the One and Only, Healer of our Souls, Healer of our infirmities, and Saviour of our souls. We ask for life, Father God, and total restoration for your child, Joanne. We love you, Lord and thank you for your Healing touch.
If some of you are looking for ways to Help the Heims, please check out Joanne’s blog this morning. There are some new features that will help us continue our love and support for the Heim Family.

Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. Romans 12:1

Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverbs 3:3 NIV
just got on today and saw the prayer request for the Heim family. Are there any updates?
Her husband is constantly updating at her blog – thesimplewife.typepad.com – and at his twitter, @tobenheim. Too much for me to summarize here!
I love the expression. Everyone needs to express there own opinion and feel free to hear others. Keep it up 🙂
