Happy New Year! Congratulations on the up and coming grandbaby!

By now your readers are used to the occasional dumb comment or lame attempt at humor from Cantorboy. Today I write with an earnest request for prayers. Our first grandson, Jack Michael, was born last Friday. He is a 27 week preemie and a wee lad indeed, weighing in at a hefty 1 lb 9 oz. The kind prayers of your gentle readers would be much appreciated. He’s got a long road ahead. “Lord, Thy sea is so great and my boat is so small…” Thank you and God bless you abundantly.

Father, hear our prayer for this little one through your Son, Jesus Christ!
