Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Another update on my sister Barb and prayer request.
I was with Barb today with our Mom & Dad instead of going to PA as I had planned for the weekend. My husband and George went up to MIL's without me, as I feel so badly about leaving Barb now. Barb today has been VERY lethargic and hardly awake. She was periodically briefly awake either from moving or from all of us disturbing her (lots of friends, etc). She has hardly eaten or drunk. When we asked if she wanted some eggs (after I got her a drink), she grimaced horribly and said "no!" then asked "aren't I getting a hamburger?" So off I ran to get McDonald's, which she only ate a tiny couple bites (the trouble now is everything is timeliness - she could lose her desire by the time you get there). She did not want to get off the toilet when they took her because she wants to sleep. I know she probably had more pain meds than needed today so that can make her more tired (Percocet knocks me out). However, of course I'm scared much of it is the cancer. She is indeed jaundiced and a bit itchy from it. We are doing our best. She has sometimes answered pretty strongly and lucidly, and smiled here and there, although it's hard for her to do anything but sleep. More people came by later and many are crying now. It's hard to see.
Please pray. I'm looking for:
a) miracle b) God's will c) reduction of suffering (in so many ways) d) strength, courage and unification for our immediate family e) my mother, who is devastated by this f) my brother-in-law, who is of course upset but also has his own heart-health issues (he is 13 years older than she) g) my nieces (17), who have seemed nonchalant about all this but I know they have feelings - and that they will not be "ruined" by all this in their last year of high school and life h) my nephew (25 on Sunday - another scary thing about birthdays possibly coinciding this month), who is a sweetheart and sensitive about his mom but may need more strength than we all realize
Prayers being sent your way.
