Reason for Fasting...
Permalink  

Brothers and Sisters, if any of you need a purpose to your upcoming fast this Sunday, please consider including our sister at the Nauvoo forum in your fasting and prayers.  And even if you don't, please consider including it as part of the purpose.

http://www.nauvoo.com/ubb/forum/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=004249

I know this is taking a great liberty in asking this here since this is an unsolicited request, and particularly since most of you who participate in that forum know she and I have had occasion to not see eye to eye on things.  But, I had the distinct feeling from reading that thread today, maybe her Bishop has some unique insight into her needs that she really needs as much faith and love unfeigned exercised in her behalf as possible right now.

And, if any of you will be attending the temple in your area in the next couple days, if you know her name, you may wish to consider adding it to the prayer roll.

But whatever you do, people, don't email her about this with ooshy gooshy compassion.  That won't help.  Better yet, don't email her at all about it.

Yeah. I'm definitely including Hannah in my prayers... though I'm not telling her. 

I did think that Talitha's comments about how we all have challenges, many are not as "visible" as others, were brilliant, and what a great way to have a good attitude and encourage others to do the same. I took it to heart.

You know, her post reinforced what I've come to believe over the years - I wouldn't want to trade troubles with anyone.

Hannah or Grace?

Glad this place is here as I don't post at Nauvoo.

Hannah and Grace are one and the same. Grace is her online name, and Hannah is her real name.

Count me in.

"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."

I'm not exactly a righteous man, but maybe if I combine my efforts with some of you here, together we can equal one, and that's something, right?

Except for Ray.  By himself, he's equal to about 2.4 righteous guys.
