A wonderfully devoted FReeper, LBGA, is in need of FReeper prayers. I spoke with her sister last evening and with LBGA, herself, this morning, and things are not looking good.
When first diagnosed with cancer last year, LBGA wished to keep her condition a secret. She fought her affliction with admirable strength and candor. She really felt she had it beaten this past March when .45MAN and I had the pleasure of attending two pro-America/Support the Troops rallies with her - one in Milledgeville, GA and the other in Atlanta. She fell ill again shortly after the Atlanta rally and began her uphill battle against this malicious enemy once again.
LBGA has since been told she is "terminal." She has accepted this pronouncement with the grace and dignity that only LBGA could exhibit. Those of you that know her will understand what I am trying to describe. LBGA is a remarkably strong, talented and witty person who is a role model that I lovingly look up to.
LBGA gave me permission to go public with her illness and ask for FReeper prayers to lift her up to God. We know the power of FReeper prayer. It has worked miracles in the past and we now pray for another miracle for our FReeper FRiend, LBGA.
Please keep her son Tyler and daughter Teale in your prayers.
Dear Merciful Father,
We come to You today to ask a favor on behalf of our friend LBGA. We ask You to please allow her complete healing of her cancer so that we, her friends and her family, may have her with us longer. We ask, too, that her son and daughter find strength and comfort in Your loving arms as they carry their trmendous burden. If it be Your Will, Dear Lord, we ask this of You as Your humble and loving servants.
This request comes in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

NASB 2 Corinthians 5:
1 For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven;
3 inasmuch as we, having put it on, shall not be found naked.
4 For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed, but to be clothed, in order that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5 Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.
6 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord--
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight--
8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
9 Therefore also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.

To LBGA and family: May God bless you and comfort you through this difficult time.
LBGA, I pray that God will give you His strength to fight this terrible disease, and I pray that He will give you the peace that passeth understanding.
