I would appreciate some prayers.<\/p>\n

Just some difficult times with the work load and the funding and business environment.<\/p>\n

Thank you<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Father, hear our prayer that this person get through this difficult time and accomplish your will in his work. Mother Mary and St. Joseph, pray for him. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen!<\/p>\n

I\u2019d really appreciate it if you could announce this on the blog. This is for a wonderful family I got to know while in the hospital myself. Their son\/nephew\/grandson Chris is recovering from a traumatic brain injury,
\nand they have made incredible personal sacrifices \u2014 including giving up jobs & relocating from OH to CA \u2014 to make sure he gets the care he needs. In the midst of this, his mother developed sarcoma and is now going through chemotherapy. They are now facing the abrupt closure of his health facility and urgently need to
\ntransfer him via a medical flight to Ohio. This is extremely expensive and not covered by insurance.<\/p>\n

I humbly ask the readers of your blog to pray for this family, that they continue in their strength & courage while facing their many challenges. Also, to please consider aiding their fundraiser at www.gofundme.com\/pzebec<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Father, hear our prayer that this family find the resources it needs to treat this boy and that he be granted complete healing in body, soul and spirit. \u00a0Grant as well that our barbarous system which forces people to beg on the internet for the health care that a civilized society should provide as a matter of course, will be changed so that we will behave like a civilized society. \u00a0Mother Mary and St. Luke, pray for us!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
