A Request

One of the benefits of having this blog, is that it reaches a lot of people. It humbles me how many people actually stop by to visit me. And because I know you're out there, I'm asking for your help.

I need help, but today it's not for me. I have a cousin who is really sick right now and in the hospital. I don't want to get into the details of why he is where he is, but he certainly could use all the prayers you can spare. If prayer is not your thing, then please wish him nothing but good thoughts, light a candle, chant, whatever it is you believe in!

The next few days hours are really critical for him and he NEEDS to get better or... Well I don't want to think about what could happen to him so please if you're reading this keep my cousin in your thoughts. I don't really know what else to do so I'm believing in prayer. And I'm hoping.

Thank you, Monica

    Hi Monica, i'm one of those who always stop by, although i do not always write...
    i've just read this and... i'm so sorry for your cousin, and i'm almost crying myself.
    I'm not in a good relationship with God, but i've been taught that He's good and loves EVERYBODY, no matter what you've done and so on and so forth. So I'm praying for your cousin, really wishing all the best, and keeping him in my thoughts, and believing God is listening to me.

    Your family is in my thoughts and prayers today. I stop by often, but rarely comment. I went through a really tough time a few weeks ago, and I coveted every prayer I could get. I just want to let you know that while I don't know the circumstances (and don't need to), I'm praying for your cousin, you, and your family.
