Prayer Request for several battling Cancer. My favorite saying from a good friend of our family that passed from Cancer is “Cancer Sucks”. I really believe that term and cannot wait until the kick cancer’s butt with a cure.

Also, pray for people with addiction problems.  Addiction, if you have a loved one or a friend that battles with these problems they can have serious effects on your life just to know these people. Many times the people with the addiction don’t think they have a problem, they do. They think they are fine and that it has no effect on others. But they are wrong, it causes pain for all of those involved. If you battle addiction just ask for help and take the steps to end your dependency and I am sure you will find some brother’s in F3 to support you. I will.
