We have no reason to complain.

That's a very good way to summarize what I'm about to say.

I woke up sick this morning, stayed in bed until 1.30ish, and have been feeling generally whiny and self-pitying since then. I've been being moderately rude, and not at all Christ-like. Then I was out with my Mom, and she told me about a little girl that I know. She has leukemia.

This girl is nine, one of the sweetest girls I've met in a long time, and she has leukemia!!!

For those of you who don't know, when I was about this girl's age, my Grandmother died of leukemia. I have had slight issues with cancers of any sort since then, but leukemia really actually scares me.

Fortunately, thank God, she has the most treatable strain of the cancer. There's a 90% cure rate. She's already on chemotherapy. So now, I beg of you my friends, please pray for this little dear one.

So small......We have no reason to complain, my friends. No reason!!!
