i'm not a christian.. and i don't pray..


agnostic humanist..


but from one man being honest to another..

i'd crumble and fold without my mrs..


so all my positive wishes and heartfelt empathy..

concentrating in your direction..



i'm gonna find a proper apropriate CD and sit down quiet to reflect


and enter the special transcending world music creates that bonds us together ..


be strong for both of you..

Thank you all!
Gail has been struggling with colon cancer for over 3 years. She was diagnosed just after Old Songs in 2004. She was officially given 14 months after serious emergency surgery. Now after lots of chemo and radiation, the doctors have sent her home to die, but our Christian community is still praying for her healing to manifest --"by His stripes WE WERE Healed" ! She is weak, but she has not given up. We need all positive prayers even if you don't quite agree with her theology.
Thanks again.
MD aka Jim

MD, there's a beautiful slide show of my favourite prayer on This Page. I've posted the words below. May they bring comfort and peace for you both:

Prayer of Protection
- James Dillet Freeman -

The light of God surrounds us.
The love of God enfolds us.
The power of God protects us.
The presence of God watches over us.
Wherever we are,
God is.
And all is well.

Thanks again all.
Gail is clearly in end times now, but she is still here. She wants all her four children to surround her so that she can bless them, and then go in peace as did the Old Testament Patriarchs. Unfortunately, she hasn't been able to speak for days. Keep on praying.

May all of you feel the presence of the merciful embrace of the Great Comforter.

Ah, MaineDog, as your hearts are breaking open, and the love you have for one another flows without restraint during this most difficult and precious time, it is palpable, even across miles and electrons. Know that there are many who are sitting vigil with you.

Blessings and Peace.

Oddly Jim, we not only want to send you our sympathies but somehow want to say thank you as well. The end comes to us all and many times all too soon. Gail faced hers with dignity, honor, courage, and grace..........No one can do better. Thanks for sharing her beautiful example and in these difficult times, may the heartfelt wishes of these many 'Catters give you the strength they have often given me.

The hole you feel in your heart will soon be healed with the overflow of memories of your life together. Hold tight to your family.

Our Very Best to All

Pat & Karen Patterson
