MORE PRAYER REQUESTS---FOR KAREN AND ERICH AND KATIE

When I put up a prayer request

I often get prayer requests

from other people.

It breaks my heart

that there is so much suffering 

in the world.

 I will never understand,

this side of heaven, 

why good people have to suffer.

My friend Kimberly used to blog.

She no longer blogs but she

requested prayers for her

sister, Karen.

Doesn't she just look like the

nicest lady?

Here is what Kimberly wrote:

My Sis is going through radiation right now for an aggressive breast cancer and is in a lot of pain. Could you say a prayer for her too? 

Kimberly wrote quite a bit more, too,

but I felt some of it was too personal

to share.

Also-

Many of you know Carole

She blogs as Katie Isabella.

Her son, Erich, has had a 

long, intense struggle with cancer.

Here is the last email I got from Carole.

I am ashamed to say it was overlooked in my 

email system and I didn't see it for several days.

Here is a portion of the message.

I am writing to ask you and your dear husband John to pray for Erich. His CT scan showed two very suspicious places even though every CT scan and CEA marker has been totally normal all the way through last October. His CEA Count was one (1) every year for the last four years. He had his routine CT scan two weeks ago and that was done with the hope that the oncologist would discharge him. Last Friday we found that will not happen. (He has more battles to fight)

There was more to her email, but I don't want

to violate Erich's privacy too much.


And, last but not least,

Katie is the daughter of one of

our friends.

Our daughters used to babysit for her.

Her story is just heartbreaking

and I will let you go to the page

her mom, Debra, put up to 

read the details.
