A close colleague of Stephanie, translator and aide Lourdes, and her family (husband and two kids) faced a tragedy we can identify with last night. Perhaps after a stroke, their 20-year-old cat Spanky had become disoriented and even unable to find food and the litter box. After they left the cat in the garage while about to go out yesterday, the cat somehow wandered under the car and was injured when the car drove over one of its legs. Lourdes and her family took the cat to the vet and eventually, after spending more time with the cat (who was then on pain medication), decided with the vet to end the cat's life. They had the cat's body cremated and the ashes spread out in the woods. We ask those of you who pray to please pray for this family that is understandably having a tough time dealing with this, including the particularly tragic sequence of events. Others send soothing thoughts for this grieving family.
Ann, a Central Ohio friend and neighbor of Stephanie's mother, as a long-term result of a car accident, has had her jaw bone removed and her mouth wired shut for what is supposed to be several months. But she quickly began experiencing problems that may lead to even worse health results, and she must now feel helpless and terrified. Please also pray for and send healing and comforting thoughts to this woman and her family.

Yesterday was the first day of FCAT testing and a 3rd grade teacher, on her way to school, hit a stray cat coming out of a parking garage. Was this a message about the FCAT test?
