Please Send Prayers

I'm asking my readers to please take time to pray for Oliver Palmer and his family. As one of my former Primary children, Ollie will always hold a special place in my heart.

Oliver is in the midst of a mighty battle with an inoperable brain tumor. He and his family could really use your prayers. If you can dig a little deeper and contribute to his benefit fund, please do so. For more information, visit Ollie's All-Stars.

Every prayer and penny will help. Please join the fight for Oliver!

I hope Ollie remembers the words of a song we learned together in Primary, "Dearest children, God is near you, Watching o'er you day and night." I know Heavenly Father is close to you, Ollie. He loves you very much.

It is easy enough to be pleasant,

When life flows by like a song,

But the man worth while is one who will smile,

When everything goes dead wrong.

For the test of the heart is trouble,

And it always comes with the years,

And the smile that is worth the praises of earth

Is the smile that shines through tears.
