And just stuff...

New prayer request, just stuff.  What will people think when they read that?  Will anyone ask?  Lost connection, weary, ready for better things, ready for...life.

She doesn't call as often. She did call around 6am, and then called the house later, machine came on. She didn't say anything, just left the line open so a message was left.
