Three of my choristers and beloved friends, all of whom are younger than I, need warrior prayers to help them navigate through some serious physical, emotional and psychological difficulty. I, for my part, would hope that you would simply commend the well-being of Laura, Shannon and Ed to our Lord for his mercy, in His Wisdom and time. If you want to share your prayers here, please feel free. But I implore you to storm heaven's gate with those prayers directly to God in the solace of your own hearts. For my part, I simply am in that state of being where it is apparent that God wants more of my life than I know how to give, as I would give it for any of my three "children." So, I yield in hope, faith and charity for my friends, my other "children," to God's will, wisdom and time. Whatever our song is, it is, as our lives, laid down for our friends. It is the best we can do. With humble gratitude, Charles
