Leah is Ill Again
June 5th, 2009105
Mish Weiss is not doing too bad, for a person who was not expected to be around at this time. Her white blood cell count keeps going up. If her platelets catch up, it will be a whole new ball game.
Of course, the battle never stops. Now Leah Friedman is having problems. She has two artificial heart valves, and she has a fever of 105. Please say a prayer.
While you’re at it, look at this email I received this morning:
Guys,
Please pray for the family of Major Kevin Jenrette. I found out he was killed today by an IED in Afghanistan.
Kevin was one of the finest men I’ve ever known. A loving husband and father. A devout Christian. A dedicated servant to his country.
Thanks for giving this blog a purpose.

My heart goes out to the family of Major Jenrette. They are in my prayers along with Mish and Leah.
If you haven’t seen the HBO movie “Taking Chance”, I would highly recommend it. It’s based on the journal of a Marine officer assigned to escort the body of a fallen Marine home to his family. It’s very moving and very well done. I had no idea of the process and care taken with each fallen soldier.

Someone should do a prayer list blog (maybe they do) Anchoress has some listed today we all need to pray for as well.

Though this is a song sung about the Australian ‘Diggers’, I am sure it applies here:

Good Bye Kevin, and God speed.
