Please join us

Dear beautiful blog readers,

We are approaching 2 big milestones -- 7 months since onset of this ridiculous syndrome (the 9th) and Dad's 67th birthday (the 16th).

In honor of Steve's birthday, we are wondering if there might be 67 readers (or more?!) who would be willing to fast and pray one day next week? You pick the day and you define the structure of your fast. If you wouldn't mind, shoot me an email (florasuern@aol.com) with the day you pick and we will keep track of how many people are fasting each day and I will update the totals below, but keep the names private. I will only share the list with Steve and Nancy so that they know which friends are lifting them to the Father that day.

Thank you for your steadfast love and devotion to our family!

Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
 Matthew 18:19
