Thanks again for prayers for me & my family & friends & our pets. I know my husband is going through some major stress. I hope he will be OK. My kitty Cootie is having health issues that I had to take him to the vet for a month or 2 ago. I thought he was cured, but the symptoms are coming back. The last time, I thought his problems were from spending a lot of time outside. I thought he had fought with another animal & caught a contagious disease. I have been keeping him inside-- which he doesn't like-- but apparently there is something inside the house that is bad for his health.

My friend Beth is always grateful for prayers for her & her family & friends and their pets. For herself, she asks for prayers for the end of her pain, especially the pain of her back & foot. She hopes that one or more of the doctor's visits she has coming up this month & next month will identify the source of the pain so that it can be treated effectively. She asks for prayers for her sisters & brothers & friends, especially for her friend who had surgery last week.
