I am fine. I am sitting at my computer. I have just completed a 10K run, after a wonderful 6:30 a.m. meeting. I am warm and comfortable. But I got home and turned on the TV, and did just what my son has told me not to do. I watched CNN - just for a minute. The minute was long enough to hear that there is a helicopter down in Iraq. He also told me how many Chinooks there are in Iraq, in case I ever hear something like that (of course, at this moment, I do not remember how many there are).
How do you pray in a case like this? Please Dear Lord, let it not be MY son? Let it be someone else's son? I can't seem to wrap my mind around a prayer like that.
So let me just ask for God's Grace for all of his children, including mine.

Wow! Powerful. I am praying for you and your son.
Lots of hugs to you, and I will pray for your son and everyone else's child who is gone to war. Stay strong and sober *hugs*
Prayers his way and prayers your way, too. Hang in there.
"...God's Grace for all of his children, including mine."
This is an awesome way to go about it.
I like your son's advice of not tuning in CNN.
God bless you and your son. :)
