Donna writes from Kentucky: "A short while ago, I received a phone call from the man who is the chaplain at the hospital. Remember, I told you I had loaned him your book? He was amazed at the honesty and emotion of the book. Not just the stories in there, but that you were able to convey them with such a fine balance of professionalism, personal expression, humility and intestinal fortitude. Seasoned authors often are unable to pull that off. Your faith shone through the pages. The chaplain's name is Kerry, and he needs prayer. He has been diagnosed with and is being treated for colon cancer. That's when he finally was able to read your book --during chemotherapy! This precious child of God enjoys the interaction involved in what he was chosen to do. He still "tends his sheep" about five days a week, and whenever he can be there when he's needed. Kerry requires one day a week for recovery from the chemo sessions. He knows that whatever happens will be part of God's plan and to His glory. He gratefully and humbly accepts the love shown by any and all prayers offered on his behalf, knowing that prayer changes things. If you can get this kind man on a prayer chain, please do so. God bless you and yours."
