Today,

the storm clouds have begun to blow

around the figure perched on that piece of granite.

In the midst of the grayness and fog

she reaches down and slips her hand into a crevice

wincing in pain as the shale cuts her flesh

but comforted by the closeness.

She secures her hands and feet and embraces the cold wet surface

as the gale picks up around her.

Do you know her name?

She is Katrina, my sister in law

I just received an email from my brother

which contained words like: hospital, malignant, and more surgery tonight.

So please pray for them and their two boys(3yrs and 4 months)

as they face the winds of uncertainty

and as our family stands in the gap

and prays to a faithful and powerful God

for her complete healing and restoration.
