[Magdalen] A different sort of prayer request.

[M J _Mike_ Logsdon]

Not that different, but definitely oblique, so to speak.

A few weeks ago, Ev's now-former teacher, who's committed to helping all his former students to succeed even well after graduation, provided they desire said help, went openly off the rails for about a week for some radiation treatment at Stanford for his recently removed cancerous thyroid.  After that week, we started calling to see how he's doing.  For what now is more weeks, all voicemails, emails, and texts have gone unanswered.  And a few days ago, I finally smail mailed a letter to his house in Seaside.  No reply.  What I'm praying is that he's just out of town / state / country / etc, and not down for the count, in whatever way.  And that I don't eventually get a reply from his wife or children, with bad news.  His presence in Everett's life is far from "necessary" at this point, but he did offer his continual leg-up as I'm M-F 8-5 not all that available, and for him it is summer vacation and available, so, hey.  Plus, he became a true friend to both Ev and me, so, this silence is unnerving.  Please pray he's okay.  Thanks.
