::And on a completely different, and far more important, subject::
Please join me in praying for a friend of Josh's named Cole. He's a fifth grader at Roy Cloud, and he's been in the hosptial for almost three months with leukemia. Recently he developed an infection and now has meningitis and hydroencephalitis. He is struggling to even breathe on his own.
Please pray for miraculous healing for Cole and pray for his two older sisters and grandparents who are raising him.
