Prayers for Kyle

Kyle Cupp and his wife got some bad news yesterday. They need your prayers.

Thank You For Your Prayers

Monday was a tough day, as I said - things are looking up. Prayer is powerful. God is good.

Thank you for your prayers

My dear brother Mark's Mass of Christian Burial was yesterday; a friend of the family who is a Deacon gave the homily, and after communion invited me up to share some thoughts about Mark. I'll post that later, but I wanted to use my first post since I've been back to thank everyone who has been praying for us. I and my family have truly been floating on prayers since last Thursday.

Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. AMEN!

Prayer Request

I just learned that my older brother, Mark, died tonight from complications of a bladder infection. He was quadriplegic, from an accident almost exactly 30 years ago.

I will probably write an appreciation or elegy later on my blog: right now the following people need your prayers:

Mark
My Mom (his primary caregiver)
Me
The rest of my family.

I've known for a couple years that his days were numbered: in a way, that helped my family and me prepare for the inevitable. That is a blessing. He lasted about twice as long as quads usually do; this too is a blessing.

May God be merciful to him...and to me for the ways I failed him.
