Thursday - April 2

I am so thankful for my hard-working husband, who will work until 3 in the morning every Wednesday night for our family. Last night he was sick with a bad cold, but he worked anyway.

Jathan is doing well. Every letter we get is positive and encouraging. He obviously doesn't have lots of time, but he loves getting all the letters that he has gotten, and is very thankful for that. He seems to be doing very well in the military.

Kesse is loaded with projects this semester, and apparently received a concussion of some sort. She is supposed to go to the doctor on Friday and have it checked out. Until then, she is wrestling with headaches and some vision issues. Please pray for her. She wrote a wonderful letter recently that just let us know some of the things the that Lord is teaching her this year at Bryan. We are thankful for all the Christian influences that she is blessed to have. She has great friends who love the Lord and encourage her to live for Christ.

Kyrie Jo continues to be busy at Grove City. I am hoping that she got to hear Derek Thomas this past weekend when he went up there. Derek was speaking on John Calvin and would have been great, I am sure! Kyrie is always very busy, but loves Grove.

Kayren had a super trip to Grove to be with Kyrie. She noted that Kyrie has wonderful Christian friends there, and a good church. All that is very encouraging! Kayren is chomping at the bit to get started. Slow down - girl! She has a couple of years to go!

Lorien is enjoying Grandview as usual, and is starting a Bible study/prayer group at lunch with a group of girls there. They just decided to start one on their own. They are going to try and help each other.

Aleya is probably too busy for her eight-year-old self. She is very social and likes doing things with her friends from church. She seems to be growing up so very fast.

I sat with Cindy last night. Debbie Smith and Susan Lynch were with me, and we just visited together. At one point, we sang some hymns together. Cindy used to love singing. After one favorite of hers, she smiled. It was such a blessing. She seems to be in pain sometimes now, and is really struggling to eat, and she is so very thin. We are thankful for the time that we get to spend with her.

Well - I need to get to work.
