Good day amazing people! After today Kev’s Daily Take will be down until I get some technical issues straightened out. I hope to be back up as soon as possible. Meanwhile, enjoy the day and make it your own!
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Awareness Spotlight shines on…
Our awareness spotlight shines on PANS/PANDAS AWARENESS DAY. Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndromes and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders can beset our little ones after a bout with strep. Tics, behavioral changes and depression are some of the symptoms, but the good news is that these conditions can be treated with anti-biotics and other medicines.
PRO-LIFE CUPCAKE DAY was created by Cupcakes for Life to get us talking about a sensitive subject using these tasty treats. Everyone has an opinion on this subject and keeping communication lines open is always a good thing.
WORLD SIGHT DAY was created by Lions Club International to help people take care of their eyes and use safe practices to protect their vision.
