As a public school teacher, I ought not to tell kids that I am praying for them when there are difficult things happening in their lives. So I frequently tell them that I’ll “hold a good thought” for them.

But I need not be so nonsectarian in the blogosphere.

So send your prayers out to:

Acidman - Condolences on the loss of your mother.

Sadie - We hope your dogbit family member heals rapidly.

Brian B. - We hope the Feared Redhead will get what she wants, and if not, that you are able to keep the wolves at bay for as long as necessary.
