Hello friends, I know this is off topic. If you object please flame me privately. A friend of mine has a beloved young - he turned 14 yesterday - grandson, Joseph aka Jack. He is also very ill with a rare and puzzling critical condition involving his kidneys. Tomorrow (Sept 5th) he will undergo medical interventions and will be evaluated for a kidney transplant should those interventions prove inadequate. I am appealing to each of you to direct your healing prayers, thoughts, wishes, vibes, etc (whatever fits your views) toward medical success and regained health for this young man. Please join me and others in making a concerted effort to bathe Joseph, the Children's Hospital in Houston, TX, his Drs and his family in healing vibes and prayers from around the world. Please also feel free to pass this message along to your friends, prayer groups or whatever. Let's all concentrate our efforts toward the medical success and regained health, and the chance to continue his own genealogy into the future for this young man. I met Joseph early this year when he visited Belize with his family. He loved this island and I fervently hope that he can return soon in good health. As I've been typing dawn has streaked the horizon and burst forth with a magnificent rainbow. a great omen, I' sure! Below are some excerpts from recent emails from his grandmother. I'll post an update when I have one. Thanks ever so much, Jude in Belize ----- Forwarded Message ----- Jude, sending you a copy of this email to my daughter, so you will know where my heart and faith dwells. Jude, Grandson has been rescheduled in Houston for Thursday Sept. 5 instead of 3rd. Best wishes from <Joseph/Jack's Grandmother> Hi, happy labor day. Spent today on the beach, that is my place of worship. I got many good messages on that beach today, awesome. Wonderful place to pray and listen. One can sing really loud out there, even if you can't sing, only God and the sea gulls hear me. I wrote our prayer in the sand dunes and all of our names, for all to see, even if the spirit guides were not listening. Jumped off low dunes, like Joseph did, could see him flying off those dunes, with sister and brother giggling and laughing. Found a patch of small greenery growing, that looked like an oriental perfect jade plant. I framed it with a heart shape in the sand with Joseph's name. Looked at trash, to find colors and words, all good positive colors in the trash, and a Aquafinia label intact on a small water bottle, but the top half of bottle had been cut off. I asked for a good message and got it, a strange man stopped in a white old beat up pickup and talked to me, telling where the fish were biting, then he said wait, he got out and took 4 shells from the bed of his truck. They were the big hand size fan shaped type, he handed them to me with each set facing together as if the sea critter was still in them, but empty. Odd way to hand them, when nested inside one another would have been easier. I held them, and look down, shaped much like two good kidneys............very touching. He drove off with is buddy. He was about 40 blonde hair with marble size bump on his chin to the side. Scruffy type of guy bare chest with dark blue new jeans. He will never know the message he delivered. Bless him. Love you, Mom <Joseph/Jack's Grandmother>
