A Day of Silence, Fasting & Prayer

My dear friends,
I am home (last night at dark) from an eight day, 575  mile (one way) trip alone to go stay with and care for my dear daughter, Rebecca, last week out near Dallas.  She spent nine days in the hospital with a severe kidney infection and belatedly discovered abscess in her right kidney.  [...]
