Honey, I'll definitely be thinking of Randy and his family during these next weeks and months that he's given to be with them.

I have a sort of prayer/praise (I guess I could call it that). My mom told me this evening that a friend of hers and my step-father (I haven't met them) called and told them that his wife (who has cancer, not sure of the type at the moment) is not doing too well, and the chemo is making her worse, and I believe they've come to the decision to let whatever will happen, happen (if that makes any sense). Her husband asked where she'd like to go (warm-weather wise) for Christmas - Mexico, San Diego, etc. She said that San Diego sounded like a good idea, so my mom and step-father have offered to let them stay here (they're taking their motorhome) during the Christmas holiday, so we'll be inviting them into our family for the holidays. It's a praise because I'm so glad that my parents have opened up our house to share with them, and Christmas time is a wonderful time to be with family, whether it's biological or one of your own making. I just pray that whatever she's going through right now, that she's comforted and wrapped in Jesus's loving arms for these next weeks, months, and however long she's granted to stay here with her family.

Also, prayers for Eta Sigma (and our other collegiate chapters) who are preparing for upcoming elections, that the elections help to unify and energize each chapter for the upcoming calendar year!
