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.
Prayers for LBGA ...
Please add your prayerful call to mine that He might hear our joined voices...

"Long may you run."
LBGA, you inspire others with your support and optimism. Thank you. Prayers going out, and hopes for many, many moments of joy, family closeness and occasional wet puppy kisses.
Heavenly Father,
We ask that You rest Your healing hand upon our dear friend, LBGA, and acting as The Great Physician, remove her illness.
We ask that You allow her a bit more time with her family, and with us. Strengthen her and remove all pain from her body. Comfort and encourage her family. Grant wisdom and skill to those who are treating her.
We trust these things will be done in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Whose love is without end.
Amen.
We are praying that if it be God's will, that miracle will happen, LBGA. Please, God, hear our prayers.

"Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit."
