Thanks again for prayers for me & my family & friends & our pets. My friend Beth still needs prayers for a good outcome of her surgery on January 5th. She is very busy doing paperwork & such that she needs for her health insurance. I myself am distressed by the apparent loss of my 2 formerly most active Facebook friends. As I think to myself, "Was it something that I said?" It has happened to me in the past also that some people really, really liked me for a while, for reasons that I never understood, and then they decided that they didn't like me any more, also for reasons that I didn't understand. I try to look for the silver lining of the cloud. I knew I spent entirely too much time on Facebook. Now I have less temptation to do that.
