An appeal to those who know the power of prayer

Tweet

Hello! My almost-SIL (Dot) has been diagnosed with brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme type IV. This is the most deadly form of glioma, and her prognosis is not good, 1 to 6 months. We are going to fight with every tool we can muster. Dot has a strong Christian faith, and this will be a powerful weapon for her in the months ahead. Will you please include her and my brother in your prayers? Those of you who know me are probably aware that I am an atheist, you may have read my little riff about about all religions being a matter of opinion until someone's Messiah shows up. That applies equally well to my non-belief. I will happily debate about religion, but I also respect that a person's faith can be a powerful force for good in their life. At this time, what I believe doesn't matter. This isn't about me. I have and will continue to bow my head in silence when Dot wants to pray. I hope that the folks reading this will not hold my beliefs against my warm, wonderful, loving a-SIL. Thanks for reading, and for your prayers and support in this time of dire need.
