The nuances of "split infinitives" drive me crazy ... I know the rules but I keep breaking the rules for reason of emphasis. Help!

With a week which included three dentist visits and an ambulance ride to the hospital ... the Lord and my loved ones at Faithwriters brought my weary soul and achy mouth a bundle of joy.

Well done, Fellow Faithwriters! And hats off to the winners! I read some mighty fine writing from many fine wordsmiths.
