Dear Barry,
I've been trying to email you for a couple of days, but it keeps coming back.   There has been so much against me this week, even to the ridiculous little things like computer problems.   I just wanted to thank you for sharing about the dog situation, and for not treating my need as trivial.    I also understand why you aren't comfortable with that kind of dog.   I pray that you will have protection and wisdom.     I understand why Paul would tell the people how he coveted their prayers.   We all need them so much.
 
Blessings,
Elisabeth
