Hello to all:

It has been a long busy week, but as always God has been good, all the time. All the time, God is good. Praise the Lord! This is going to be brief because I just wanted to say "Hi!" and let you know, if you didn't, that the Eric and Jennifer and children are coming in this week-end. Hospice is have a Remembrance Service tomorrow and we are all going to that. So it is kind of busy getting ready for them and keeping up with everything else. Marty was so good at handling all of that, indeed I do miss her in so many ways.

Had two church folks that had deaths in their families this week, one a husband and the other a brother-in-law. Also had a member that had surgery and praise the Lord all went well and the member is home recovering, which is awesome. The last surgery this person had, certainly did not go as well. So we give praise and thanks to God for this one. The member indicates that prayer works and that "moving closer to the front of the sanctuary, closer to God, is a big help as well." They said the other night, "Don't be afraid, come on up!" Praise the Lord!

We are have a benefit chili cook-off on Tuesday for a young couple in the church who really have some heavy medical bills and that has it been going great, I do believe. God has really been touching some lives. The front page newspaper article we got on Thursday was awesome. The reporter, as she always does, really did a great job and go to the heart of the matter. Praise the Lord!

Well I said this was going to be short, but as I get going I see so many ways that God has truly effected my life this past week that I can not help but sharing them. I certainly hope that you have felt and seen God in your life as well. Take some time to sit down and think about it and pray about it - it is an awesome thing to do.

Have a positive week-end, take care, and God bless you and all those you love.
