Surrender

When Laurence was in the hospital last January receiving chemo he told me that in his next career he wanted to be the chaplain on the 14th floor at OHSU and help other patients dealing with leukemia. While he never completed any chaplaincy program, his presence of love ministers to all those who care for him, pray for him, love him and think of him. His chaplaincy moves far beyond the 14th floor as his friends and family around the world are touched by his light and love.

Laurence consciously made a choice to move into hospice care. There is a beautiful presence of freedom and peace about him. He will be moved home on Saturday. His family started to arrive today. His clarity and strength continue to be amazing.

You continue to be a blessing every step of this journey. I will keep you informed of the process. Your prayers for peace and freedom are appreciated.

With loving gratitude.

  1. In our prayers we say, Let go, Let God. Sometimes that is easy, some times it seems impossible. In this moment, we Let go we Let God and we know deepest love and gratitude for the presence of Lawrence & Christine in our lives today, tomorrow and always. With love and admiration as we stand by you in love.

  4. I was thinking last night, after reading Lynn's post, about the incredible quality of love Laurence has about him and how he is able to bring such peace to so many with a humbleness and warmth that is truly divinely inspired. I know that Laurence and Christine are surrounded by Divine love and the incredible gift of peace. With love,
