CLIMBING THE MOUNTAIN TOGETHER

I've recently heard from some very courageous friends of mine who continue in a battle with ovarian cancer. There are many things I believe in and one of them is the power of prayer. You don't need to subscribe to any particular religion - your faith can reside in the incredible evidence of God's presence in nature. You can believe that following the perfect precepts of your chosen religion is the path to God. The common thread is prayer. So, in whatever way you pray, surround my friends and all the others who stand at the base of the mountain, wondering if they can manage the climb, with the light and the love of your prayers. We are the ropes, the steady hands, and the push that will accompany them on their climb. The other very important element of our lives here on earth is that God is NOT our errand boy. We have the responsibility to use the avenues provided to us to help make our lives here the best that they can be. Familiarize yourselves with the symptoms of this silent killer. They are subtle. Do not allow a Doctor to dismiss anything you know to be serious. The difference between God and a doctor is that God doesn't think he's a doctor - don't be intimidated, deterred or discouraged from getting a second or even a third opinion. I've found a few websites: http://www.ovationsforthecure.org and www.CancerResearch.org. Both sites have real stories and real information. Pray and act, my darlings. We are all connected in the climb.
