I would like to thank you for all your prayers for my mother over the past months. She has had a long struggle with her health, and she just received news from her doctor that her bone marrow cancer is in remission. She has told me many times how thankful she is for everyone's prayers. She still has some struggles, and appreciates prayers for her to overcome these, but the greatest struggle, cancer, is in remission now!
I also thank all of the people who amassed 112 votes for my blog! I was surprised and thrilled my blog was even nominated for the 'Best Blog by a Seminarian' award of the Catholic Blog Awards this year... and I never expected to get more than a few votes! I'd also like to formally congratulate Kevin Muniz, who's blog The Heart of a Seminarian placed 2nd in the same category.
