Do any of you have prayer requests??

[Medusa]

Can anyone spare a few extra prayers?

I just learned today that a kid (well, I guess we aren't truly "kids" anymore) that I graduated High School with almost two weeks ago was diagnosed with Leukemia earlier this week. I was more of a casual acquaintance and did not know him all that well, but one of my friends is his best friend. This "kid" is a son, a brother, a husband, and a father. This past year he has really stepped up and changed into a great person.


Its such a surreal feeling. At this age we are supposed to feel invincible...

As my signature says: "Time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all". You're right, the injustice of it is staggering. Prayers are going up for your friend and for you, too.

I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I hope they caught it early enough. (((hugs))) to everyone who knows him and here's hoping for a recovery.

The Ladder of LIfe.

I stop in to read about who needs prayers and offer them to those who need them, It puts things into perspective for me.

I have always looked at life as a giant ladder that goes up into the air.

There are always people above, and below the rung of the ladder that I am on.

So,
When I look up and see the people that have it a little better than me, I look down and see that there are TONS of people that aren't in as good a position as I am. It's not a "I have it better than everyone" attitude. It just makes me feel thankful that my life is not as complicated or rough as the next guy.

IT's a pretty simple way to look at things, but effective when I feel like I want to biatch and moan about MY problems.


Thinking about you all and hope tomorrow is a better day!
