One of the things I’m really lax about is praying for other people. They’ll mention a need, and I’ll offer my sympathy and say that I’ll pray for them, and I do. Once, maybe twice, I’ll remember to offer up their names and their needs when I pray. Then, I forget. Not on purpose, not because I don’t care, but because I don’t maintain a good prayer list, and my memory is wholly unreliable. It’s something I need to work on.

Thankfully, though, God has a better memory than I do.

Venomous Kate has wonderful news:

The doctor said the scan results showed no remaining cancer. Considering how insidious stage 4 colon cancer is, this is nothing short of miraculous. I have no doubt that your prayers, good thoughts and kind wishes have quite a bit to do with that miracle, and I thank you.

She and her mother both know that this is likely to be a temporary reprieve, but it is a reprieve, and hopefully they’ll both make the best of the time God has given them.
