Please pray for my brother

My brother Dave has been in thhe hospital for the past week. After numerous tests, the found he has chronic leukemia. He had worked in a toxic environment at his last job; which we believe is what started all this. He waited a long time before he finally went to the hospital; which has contributed to his case being so bad.

At any rate, he has been on pain meds and is in and out of it most the time. They can’t really do much for him until they get him stabilized, at which point they can start treatments. My mom left here early to go and help him. Please pray that his levels would stabilize and he would eat again; and that whatever treatments my mom and the doctors do are effective. But most of all, please pray that he would make it through this and come to know Christ in a personal and loving way. I thank you all in advance.

    The contrary happens in kingdoms governed like that of France, because one can easily enter there by gaining over some baron of the kingdom, for one always finds malcontents and such as desire a change. Such men, for the reasons given, can open the way into the state and render the victory easy; but if you wish to hold it afterwards, you meet with infinite difficulties, both from those who have assisted you and from those you have crushed. Nor is it enough for you to have exterminated the family of the prince, because the lords that remain make themselves the heads of fresh movements against you, and as you are unable either to satisfy or exterminate them, that state is lost whenever time brings the opportunity.

    Dear Gina, so sorry to hear of your brothers illness. You must be greatly saddened. We will pray, and please keep us updated. Is this the Brother that was aspiring to become a priest? Love you, praying for you and your family, Bridget
