this is important

and i am, again, asking you to pray if that's a practice you keep.

this week has been a bit catastrophic, and at press time both my mother and my roommate are in the hospital. my mother's shattered knee is nothing to sneeze at, and i appreciate any prayers you will offer up for her expedited recovery, but i'm looking more for prayer for my roommate.

she's on a respirator. again. and has been in the hospital since tuesday after having an allergic reaction to a pear. i'm concerned about her. there are tears in my eyes as i type this.

a few words of blessing would be sufficient. her name's melissa, if you think that will help your god locate her spirit.

thanks. it's hot out there, no?
