An Old Friend of Mine Needs Your Prayers

Dear Prayer Warriors,

I just got an email concerning a dear friend of mine from way back who is in desperate need of your prayers.

Bob and I met over 40 years ago at an open-mike audition in Cambridge. Even though he sang country music and I sang blues and rock, we became good friends. He booked my band a couple of times, and oddly enough, our paths kept crossing again and again at recording studios, double-booked gigs, and so on. As an Activities Director in various elder facilities, I often booked Bob to entertain my clients, as he had a very nice show doing Oldies and Early Rock 'n Roll, like Buddy Holly and the Every Brothers. When I moved to Florida for a totally unrelated reason, I ended up buying a house in the same town as Bob and his wife, and he encouraged me to self-publish my first Book "Nuthin' But The Blues".

Bob entered my name into a contest, of which the First Prize was 1000 CD's, including re-mastering and cover design...and I WON. Such a deal was worth thousands of dollars, and it facilitated the publication and release of the first cd that I did all by myself. (My previous release involved three other artists). Bob was always thinking of his friends, and had a monthly music program at the Library where local artists could get exposure. I was already playing and teaching full-time, so I didn't really need "exposure" but I sometimes participated.

Even after I moved back to Massachusetts, I always sent Bob my daily meditations that I post here on FR. I did so today.

I got an email back from his wife. Bob is very sick, and in the hospital on a ventilator. He is not much older than I am, and this has upset me greatly. I know that Bob is a Believer, so there's that, but I just can't imagine him being so sick.

Could you all remember Bob in your prayers today?
