Hi Joan,
I liked what you wrote this morning, I to believe in God and am a
Christian. I have asked for a healing through prayer. I also believe that we
all have a cross to bear, If this is mine I plan to pick it up and run with
it also. I also know that at time when I feel down that I can get strength
from him, and at thoses times he will carry me. I am also doing what I can
to help myself. I plan to fight this P>D> with ever thing I have.
