Barbara Rank

God of Wisdom, bless Barbara Rank, a retired special education teacher who wrote a brief letter to her local paper in response to a congressman's claim that it is crazy to mandate that insurance cover pregnancy. Ms Rank's concise and elegant letter included these words: "It's called democracy, a civil society, the greater good."

Please surround Ms. Rank with thoughtful people who appreciate her literary skills. Encompass her with a community that strives for the greater good. May her sturdy wisdom be contagious. Amen.
