Leigh Peterson is a phenomenal young woman who runs a non-profit without pay and works for another one to pay the bills.

Please pray that God's sustaining presence will be evident, that a diagnosis will be achieved, and that a treatment plan will be developed. Oh, and that she has sweet dreams!

I called Leigh. Truth be told, I was calling in response to her expression of care for my needs with my upcoming move, and it dawned on me that I was at
