My grandmother, Aurora, who is my last living grandparent, is now in the last stages of her life. She is rarely conscious, does not talk, and is no longer taking food or water. Please keep her in your prayers.

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

Even if we have thousands of acts of great virtue to our credit, our confidence in being heard must be based on God's mercy and His love for men. Even if we stand at the very summit of virtue, it is by mercy that we shall be saved.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy.

Even though she might appear to be unconscious, many times, patients like this can hear and feel embraces.
If you can visit her, sing songs to her and hold her hand.

May God have mercy on your grandmother.

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.

That's what we have been hoping, and the nurse has confirmed this. So we hug her, talk to her, prayer with.
