Sometimes I just wish
I see why they call religion the opiate of the masses. It is a hard thing to realize that you are alone and your prayers are most likely going to go unanswered. Faith would be really helpful right now. I have a friend who is extremely sick and needs encouragement, but I know my words about my prayers being with him must be ringing false. I know they are in my own ears. Being helpless is such a miserable thing. It's funny though. I have realized through this ordeal how selfish I can be. The fact that I don't want someone to be sick because it is hard for me to deal with really showed me what an ass I am. But - this isn't about me, this is about him. So, anyone reading this who does have faith, please pray for my friend Tom. Maybe God does have a plan. Maybe this is a wake up call. Maybe we will just have to wait and see.
