[Magdalen] Prayers requested--Janice injured in car accident

[Eleanor Braun]

Prayers of healing and comfort for Don and Janice.  So glad there were no
other injuries.

You probably know it is not at all unusual to be unable to recall the
circumstances of a traumatic event like a car accident.

Holding you both in prayer,
Eleanor
