[NP-Clinical] Beautiful prayer

[Kimberly Spering]

Well, gee, I suppose that one would say that I could take the blame for the prayer being offered, if one revisits my 7/31 post when I asked for them in my last sentence.

I fully understand what Dena is saying, nor did I mean to offend anyone who may not subscribe to certain beliefs (which, I did not mention my own, BTW).  Professional listservs are certainly not the place for these type of discussions overall.

That said, I did not take offense (on a personal level) to Patricia's email.  Perhaps it would have been more "politically or socially correct" to send it privately, yes.  But I appreciate the good wishes from those who have emailed me, nonetheless.

I agree with Andy...we have had flare-ups about this topic (and others) in the past, and I will admit, I DID hesitate to ask for ANYONE'S prayers based on those prior flare-ups.  However, I have also seen these type of comments posted to Christine, during her grieving time, and Priscilla, dealing with her mother, and a few others, that mentioned others' prayers and well-wishes.  I don't know as though we can "pick-and-choose" when it is appropriate to mention "thoughts and prayers" or not.

So if my post inflames things more, then I am sorry.  That certainly is not my intent; I have more pressing issues to deal with concerning Mark and my family.  I hope that this is the END of this discussion, and my apologies to anyone who construes it as such.  And since apparently it is NOT appropriate, I shall never mention it again.  :)
