NO is not an option: a request from Gloria
It is with great pleasure that I’m typing up this entry at the request of my dear, dear mentor and friend (how lucky am I to be able to write that?), Gloria Ferris.
This request from Gloria is for us to say prayers on behalf of her dear friend, Patty, who would have been a five year cancer survivor by the end of this year. Today, Patty is having her last test and consult and Gloria reports that her friend will begin and is beginning to make final decisions due to her health.
It is Gloria’s wish and desire that, while we are planning and conducting our end of the year vacations and get togethers, we also recall that Patty is making life-altering choices. Although Gloria did not say this in so many words, I believe her intent is that, as matters that seem small and large may dog us in relation to all the holiday arrangements so many of us make, we please pray for Patty as she makes a certain set of arrangments as well.
Thank you.
