First snow of the season in Northern Colorado. I had a hard time finding a good vantage point to show the crowd, but it was bigger than I'd expected, especially given the weather, several thousand at least. The plot of land they're standing on is the size of a city block, we filled about 3/4 of it.

I'm grateful for your prayers.

Thank you for the thought, friend. His extended family has means he can tap into before he has to take that step. The kids will not go hungry and will keep their roof. God's comfort and aid are what he needs that we can't provide.

Thank you, I'll pass on that information.

Thank you very much. I also have no doubt, but only with God's help. I suspect this is one of those trials God gives us from time to time to prompt us to turn to Him.

Thank you, friend.

Thank you very much.

I appreciate that, friend.

Sure, and he's humble enough to do it if necessary. He also has family to help out. The kids will not go hungry.

But they've struggled with debt their whole marriage. He had almost crawled his way out of it and then along comes the prospect of having a baby (~$20K) without coverage, and a necessary back surgery (~$250K). This would ruin them financially. Would SSI provide those kinds of resources? I don't know enough about it, but somehow I doubt it.

He told me that as these things dawned on him, he experienced the first panic attack of his life. He's a very good man, with nerves of steel, and it broke my heart to hear that.

Thank you for the idea. I'll look deeper into it.

Thank you for your prayers, friend.

Very interesting, I'll look into that. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

My deepest gratitude, friend.

"Brother of Eric" has a nice ring to it.

If he'd known that 10 or so years ago it might have done some good. Unfortunately at this point, it's just too late. There nothing left to heal.

I'll look into that, thank you.

I am grateful, friend.

Thank you very much. In my experience, God is happy to grant us specific blessings if we ask for them, always subject to His wisdom.

Thank you, I'll take a look.

Thank you, honeymussie. I've passed that on.

Thank you very much. I've passed on this information.

I don't believe they're able to schedule him that quickly.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

I appreciate your prayers and concern, friend.

I am deeply grateful for this. Thank you.

They intend to fight with everything they have, but they aren't in a position to endure until the illegality is acknowledged.

Thank you very much for your prayers, friend!
