Lord have mercy! Dialysis is rough to say the least. Tonight, you and your friend will certainly be in my prayers before Vespers.

We cannot legislate morality by passing laws controlling firearms. The only evil we can combat lies within our hearts.

We need stronger laws to protect the moral foundation of society against the evil of gay marriage.

May the Lord have mercy on your friend.

It is an education process for me as I learn about the psychology of spiritual apostasy. And others get the benefit of perhaps hearing righteousness for the first time.

Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.

Lord have mercy.

There are support groups for this unfortunate situation.

I'm not sure if her doctors have already recommended these or not, but they may be worth looking in to.
