Please Help Us Pray

I have never read the book but I think that maybe it is time that I read the one with the title "Why bad things happen to good people." It seems as though the last several weeks I have felt deep pain for those around me. I know so many "good people" who are facing some of the hardest times in their lifes. I have been giving this some thought and I hope to soon post my thoughts to this overwhelming thought.

In the mean time I would greatly appreciate all of you boggers out there that know the possiblity and the power of prayer. Today my cousin Shelly (Dill) Perry is facing one of these bigger than life problems. Today she is having surgery to remove a brain tumor. Shelly is 38 year old with two daughters and a husband. Shelly and I were seperated in our childhood by only three houses. Needless to say as children we were the best of friends. You usually never found the one without the other. We fought like cats and dogs but you could never ever think of seperating us. We even got our first real jobs at the same place...a nursing home. We have shared many days and many hours together and although time and miles seperate us we are like Twiddle Dee and Twittle Dumb (I will let you guess who is who). I would cherish your prayers for Shelly, her girls, her husband and her Dad and Mom. I don't always understand why God works the way that he does but I am reminded of the scripture where I am commanded to "Be still and know that I am God."
