In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
— Lt.-Col. John McCrae
Thank you for your service and your sacrifices.

Apparently a guy walked into a Unitarian-Universalist church in Kentucky Tennessee with a twelve-gauge shotgun today. According to local news, two people have already died and several more are in critical condition. And in icing-on-the-tragedy-cake territory, this took place while the church’s children were performing for the congregation, so they presumably witnessed the whole thing. No motive has been released.
Please join me in praying for all involved.

That was the BBC’s take. Here’s a more in-depth article, from Yahoo.

Sorry to pepper you with prayer requests, especially when I’m barely blogging, but I just heard that the husband of one of my dearest friends was laid off today. The economy here in Michigan is one of the worst in the nation - think “poking an apple that’s been rotting for the last year or three” soft, and they’re a single income family with three children. So, if you could please include J. and R. in your prayers, I would appreciate it.

…I guess it never hurts to try. God is in the business of miracles, after all.
If you’re available between 7 and 8 p.m. tonight, please consider praying a Rosary for a young girl with leukemia. More details here. From Cottage Blessings via Far Beyond Pearls.

A good friend of mine has been getting a battery of tests run today. Would you please remember her in your prayers? To respect her privacy, I’m not including any personal information; but God knows who she is and what she needs.
Thanks.

Their first dance was their last dance.
Lord, please receive her into Your loving arms; and please console her husband.

An acquaintance of mine is entering hospice. He has AIDS and has contracted pneumonia. I would appreciate prayers for him.
