Thanks for the prayers everyone. I got to talk to my oldest son about the trip on saturday. It wasn't good, but it wasn't as bad as he expected it to be. However, he did say that this was his last trip with the family to visit his aunt. I talked to him about it, and how he would need a strong backbone when the topic comes up, and it will as they go over thanksgiving nearly every year. it was also good to see them again. they're like water for me, I need them to survive.

A friend and brother over at GCN
Good morning, All.
As some of you may know, I also participate over at GCN. I learned just yesterday that someone I've grown quite close to over time was viciously mugged over the weekend -- fractured nose, 40 stitches, etc. I have no idea yet if this was a hate crime or a "garden variety" mugging. Regardless, it's very upsetting news. Of course, I thank God it wasn't worse. This friend -- Dave -- is a very friendly and loving presence at GCN and uses his free time to minister to others at his church and through his band Canaan. He gives tremendously of himself -- this in spite of the fact that he has suffered a number of losses recently. His body will no doubt heal, but I fear the biggest challenge will be the emotional/mental healing. Please remember him in your prayers by asking for God's peace and strength while he recovers.  , -d.

Dave: That is frightening news about your friend. I will pray for speedy healing on all levels, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. It had to have been a frightening experience for him, thank God he is okay.
I am also asking for prayers for myself, friends. I am again having some troublesome medical issues going on with me, that are concerning and frightening. ALthough I firmly believe that all will be well, I am worried at times about possible negative outcomes. I will not have any conclusive information for at least a few weeks, so if you could send some prayer energy my way, and upward on behalf of me, I would really appreciate it. I love all of you here. Thank you for being such great friends.......

Hello friends, a couple of additional prayer requests.....
First of all, for missmari, who is struggling badly right now, and needs mega prayers and support from all of us here. I know that we can all help her through her struggles right now. May God be with her, at her shoulder, when she feels most vulnerable and despondent......
And also, for one of my close friends, Jill. Her father is having major surgery today to remove a tumor that they suspect is cancer, and I want as much prayer energy with she and her family as possible today.

Jill, missmari and Dave
Now, one that I'm having a hard time with... There's this great guy who attends the church (the one that my sister and I go to school at) and he had a stroke about a year ago. Well, he hasn't been the same since... and I just found out this morning that he apparently fell off a ladder (and not a normal ladder, we're talking like two stories) and he's basically in a coma and isn't expected to make it.  Please pray that he may some how come out of this and be okay, if at all possible... we need our Crazy Ray!

Thank you all!
I can't even imagine how everyone else must feel. I've known and loved this man for five years... I have friends who have known them since before they can even remember... and losing him hurts, it really hurts Please pray for all of those who knew him, for everyone who did, loved him... I can't believe he's gone... we really thought there was hope.

Thank You! Your words are very comforting... his memorial for the church and school community is tomorrow night. My family will be there, as well as all our friends from the school. I keep feeling like I'm being hit with it... it'll sneak up on me and I'll realize that I miss him more then I thought I did. Even though I know it was his time.

Grief is like that, Jenn. You can't stay in that intense place all the time so your brain takes you away from it. Then the reality suddenly snaps you back to it. this is especially true for young children. Watch them at a funeral or a calling. They can be crying one minute and off playing with cousins and yucking it up the next. Even if its someone really important like a parent or grandparent. Its just how we grieve.
