Cancer Support

I light candles too, but in a different manner. After my wife's breast cancer surgery (8 yrs ago) she wanted a prayer chapel. So, I built her one. Nothing big, just an eight by ten with a pitched roof. I rocked the exterior with rocks she selected, made wooden shudders for the arched windows and made a beautiful arched door. She is a stained-glass artist and made some very beautiful glass for the three arched windows behind the altar. It has a belfry, too, with bells she got in Santa FE, NM.

Since we live in a gated lake community, we opened it up to the public because there is no church at the lake. Alot of folks have used it.. We leave a prayer box and candles for folks to use. There is no electricity, but we have a couple of oil lamps they can light after dark. It's always open. It gives those with troubles a place to go and pray.
