the Nation's originator, Shane Speal, has asked me to pass along this information.

His sister is in critical condition in need of a liver transplant. She is "hanging in" and is scheduled for surgery later today. They are hopeful that they have located an acceptable donor liver.

I am asking that you regard this need according to your personal spiritual practice.... thoughts, prayers, meditation. Let's join in supporting Shane, his sister and his family....

thank you,

Wichita Sam
