2017 Prayers with Patty Hoenig

Hi Andrew~

You are always so very thoughtful. I suppose it would not do any good to say that we did not need gifts
:) Hearing from you means much more.

Helen Harrell to my mother Virginia Calohan Harrell

August 28, 1953

Dear Virginia,

I have been thinking so much about you lately, and hoping that the heat has not been as bad as last
summer and that you all have kept well.

You seem not to be averse to me sending you some of his cousins outgrown things. I thought I put away
a little green suit, but could not find it among my things. Perhaps I sent it to you last year.

At any rate—here comes a little Jack Tar suit which I always liked, and I think Andy is about ready for it.
In putting it away, I find that the white braid became yellow, which made it look decidedly passé—So I
made bold to take it all off, and bleach it, and replace it that is why the forever perfect tailoring may not
seem up to the standard. I also made a new tie. How I would like to see dear little Andy in it. His cousins
all love his cowboy pictures, as do we all.

Our little Jonathan is now 8 months old,and such a study wholesome little man, travels all over the
house, and likes best to play with electric cords, es;ecially telephone and lamp cords, alas!

I had good outing to Corona del Mar with Constnace and family. Now they have all some month for
further vacations.

I still try my best to carry on.—but not too credibly I am afraid. Have to trim down my outside activities
—but get by somehow.

What a terrible turmoil and perplexity the world is in---and how distressing for those who do not have
“peace within.”

I hope things are going well with you, I am always so grateful for your letters. Heres to a happy birthday
celebration for you all on Sept. 6.

With love always,

Nana


Prayers for Rev. Jim Biedenhorn

Jim, a retired Methodist minister who has served in several churches here in Mississippi, Tennessee,
and Kentucky has a serious bone cancer situation that has been operated on several times. He and his
wife Claire, who is also a Methodist minister are long time friends of my family, what is left of it.
He asked me to pray for him and bless him in this time while he is trying to deal with the effects of what
is happening to his health. We know that God wants him to be well.

Jim,
May the Lord bless you for happiness and long life.

May He bless you and keep you,
Lift up His countenance upon you and be graceful unto you,
Support your soul and spirit eternally with the power of His Name
and Place Peace in High places inside of you.

President Carter's Letter
Jimmy Carter
September 21, 2001

Lt. Col. Andrew Harrell
3000 Drummond St.
Vicksburg, MS 39180


Dear Lt. Col. Harrell,

As I write you this lmorning, our country, indeed the entire world faces great uncertainty and
trepitdation.
Yet, despite the questions we are all asking, regardless of the fears we may be experiencing, one fact
is clear; we will pull together as a nation in this time of crisis.
I am, calling on you and friends of the Carter Center to join together in prayer for our country's future
for President Bush and all our leaders, for the courageous rescue workers at last week's terrorist
attacks, and for our fellow Americans who were victimized by these cowardly acts.
If you haven't already, please give your best possible support to relief organizations that leading
recovery efforts. If you are able, done relief supplies, which are urgently needed.

In a few weeks, I hope to have an opportunity to write you about The Carter Center's latest
accomplishments and plans for 2002. But, today, we must unit in compassion and resolve to meet the
challenges to our country's security.

God Bless America,

Jimmy Carter
