[Magdalen] Quickie prayer request

[Scott Knitter]

Jay, I'm joining your prayer team for this. I've done the Go-Lytely prep
thrice and had no major problems, just tedium. But I know that prep method
is intolerable for some. May your (more tolerable method of) prep and these
procedures go smoothly and swiftly, with unremarkable results! Amen.
