That being the case would it be a little hypocritical to ask that you & any other faith-based 'Catters remember Pia in their prayers?

First, Alsec, a Christian doesn't want to respond judgementally, but compassionately (and so would likely pray whether asked or not). Second, there is a layer in all of us where words and logic don't operate as well as trust and feeling operate. Mudcatters here have prayed for many an agnostic or atheist, with their full approval, because at some level I think we intuit that support is support is support, whatever the mode of delivery. Third, it's good to see you in these parts again, and yes, I do remember our chats.

I guess I ought to post a disclaimer at this point-- many of you know I coordinate a prayer chain largely made up of Mudcatters, via email. I didn't post this thread because I was fishing for prayer requests, though of course if anyone wants the prayer chain notified of requests here, a PM to me about it will result in word going out in those parts. I won't assume that a post here is a request for action there.


Thanks for the encouragement about today. They're ALL hard, in their own unique way-- situations like this-- but I feel singularly unprepared for this particular one.
