Thanks for the prayers, everyone. Mom's doing fairly well for having cancer. She can still do most of what she usually does, though she gets tired more easily. She's seen an oncologist and a surgeon, and they're both in agreement: she's going to need chemo, radiation, and surgery. I think the chemo and radiation start next week, and the surgery will be in early December. Prayers are still needed, but things are looking hopeful.

Thank you.

I've only asked for this once before, and that was for my brother who was then diagnosed with Leukemia. I ask you again today, because my most Beloved Hubby has to have a biopsy made on his prostate. Please help him! As an atheist, I feel sooo hampered. People tell me that I can pray even without being a believer. I don't believe them. I know it might sound wrong of me to ask for this, but I honestly do believe in the power of prayers. I just do not believe that mine would make a difference. I thank you in advance ❤️

You actually can. And it isn't wrong at all, I'll keep you in my prayers:)

Prayers sent for your husband, Melisande.

A high percentage of Buddhists are atheists. You bet they pray. So I don't see why you can't.

Blessings,

Siri Kirpal

It never rains but it pours.

Sis came back from mediation and the news isn't good. Something seems to have happened in the last mediation session that made the female mediator bring in a 2nd, male mediator for this session. As we suspected, her ex is taking her to family court because things didn't go 100% his way. The male mediator felt the need to offer to escort Sis to her car in case her ex tried to cause trouble; she took him up on his offer.

We're hoping that since mediation didn't go his way that family court won't go his way either. We're also hoping Sis'll realize that she needs a lawyer who specializes in family law (?), and that hiring one is not being disloyal to her current lawyer, who doesn't specialize in it and hasn't really been that big a help. (He's not bad lawyer, he's just out of his area of expertise.)

My oldest nephew started at a new school and even made a new friend! Hopefully, his father will see this and not take Sis to court over his education.
The court summons just came. Since Sis is a teach, she has very little free time to consult with her lawyer. Plus her ex is probably going to drag Mom's cancer into this because she's the chief babysitter for the kids after school. Now both Mom and Sis need a lot of prayers.

Thank you.

Here's something worth our attention about prayer: "I used to believe that prayer changes things, but prayer changes us & we change things". MT

Thank you for your prayers, everyone. I have have an update on Mom at least. Her cancer is Stage 3; not as hopeful as I'd hoped it would be, but not hopeless. She starts chemo and radiation on Monday. I checked ACS's site, and that's standard operating procedure before surgery (pun not intended). Since the before and after surgery chemo/radio could last many months, we're all going to needs big time prayers. Mom for obvious reasons, and the rest of us because we will need to be her physical strength, and a few of us aren't in the best of health ourselves.

Thank you.

Requesting prayers for everyone in the path of the multiple fires in the LA area. A bunch of people are having to flee, and LA ain't the easiest or fastest area to evacuate.

Blessings,

On Friday, my sister's going to court to battle her ex for my nephew's education. She and my nephew are going to need a lot of prayers.

Thank you.
