My 89-year-old grandpa was admitted to the hospital this afternoon with pneumonia. He lives alone and has been falling often this past week, sometimes lying on the floor for hours before he could crawl to the phone to call for help.
He should be in the hospital for only three days, but he is sick, tired, sore and depressed after my aunt's death 10 days ago.
He's not keen on us doing much in the way of extra health care for him. And he's very stubborn.
Would you please say a prayer for him?
Thanks.

"There was a significant difference between thinking and writing. Writing wasn't just the translation of interesting ideas to paper. It was its own kind of thinking, which seemed to kick in only when the pen made contact with the page, or her fingers touched the keyboard."

"In adversity our intellectual knowledge becomes actual knowledge. ... Adversity is the testing ground of our faith. ... Anyone can believe and sing praises on the Temple Mount when the sun is shining, but true praise is sung in the darkest valley when the Accuser tells you to curse God for making you suffer so much pain. If you can still praise your Father's goodness, even in the darkness, then you are His son indeed."
