Dear Friends:
Good evening, all. Well, the heat has arrived at last. Despite the hot day, I hope that all of you have had a good Sunday. First off, we want to say a big welcome to Sean and Cece Lively who visited our class this morning. We were delighted to have you guys, Sean and Cece! I do hope that you will come back and see us again next week.
Next, I want to thank the Mays (and Jennifer in particular!) for bringing our donuts today. We appreciate you, Jennifer! Next week, us Nulls are in charge. How about Bush’s chicken?!
REMINDER ABOUT AUGUST 16TH! I want to remind all of you that we will be having a Back to School Cookout at the home of Shawn and Shelley Buhner. The event will take place on August 16th beginning at about 3:00 p.m. (but more details later!). Please put this afternoon on your calendar. I think that all of us will enjoy spending some time together. Thank you again for doing this for us, Shawn and Shelley! We do appreciate it! (By the way, rumor has it that Steve Ramsdell is planning to make a guest appearance in his fluorescent pink Speedo, but don’t tell anyone. We want a big turnout for this event.)
PRAYERS AND PRAISES
Let’s get to our prayers and praises:
Of course, let’s continue to pray for the Saxon family. Their faith in Christ has been nothing short of incredible during this last 4 1/2 years. Many, many people from our class have been touched by their story. Please pray for healing and for the Paul Saxon celebration service that will take place Tuesday morning. May God bless this incredibly strong family.

Elizabeth Nemec has asked us to pray for her sister, Rachel. She had her baby this past week. Her name is Olivia Page. I believe that both baby and mommy are doing well. Praise God for this new little one!
Kayla Jacque would like for us to pray for her grandmother, Lucille. She is currently in the hospital. Please pray for her healing and for return home soon.
We have a praise today that Ben and Teresa Sullivan are celebrating seven years of marriage—and today is the day! Congratulations, Ben and Teresa. May God be with you guys for another terrific 7 years and more!
Teresa Sullivan also has asked us to pray for patience for her as she works to put her classroom back together. She has lots of work to do and needs our prayers as she begins the new school year.
Vince and Mary Erickson are headed to Oklahoma to visit Vince’s family this week. Please pray for their safe travel. We also need to pray for the Ericksons as they consider some good job options. Pray for wisdom and discernment as they make decisions.
Shawn and Tatum Buhner returned home this afternoon from several days out of town. Please pray for them as they return to action here in Waco.
We also need to pray for the Buhners as Shelley looks at some new possibilities with her job as well. Let’s be sure to pray for wisdom and discernment for them as they make some important decisions.
Also on the Buhner front, we need to pray for Allison Mabry, Shelley’s sister. She is currently in Australia and will be traveling to several countries for many months. She will return home in December. Please pray for Allison while she is away on her travels.
The Livelys have some very important weeks and months ahead. We need to pray for them as they welcome two adopted babies, Camry and Callie, into their home. Please pray for strength, patience, and God’s grace as the Livelys make a home for these two little girls. We are praying for you guys, Sean and Cece!
Bernie Hookham has asked us to continue to pray for Madison. She is the little girl who is in Cook’s Hospital in Forth Worth. She is only 45 days old and is struggling with Noonan’s disease. Please ask God to touch this little girl and find a way for her to get home and begin the long road to healing.
We need to say a praise for a terrific VBS week! Praise God for everyone who volunteered to help. What a great turnout it was! Let’s also be sure and thank Sandy Williams, Stefanie Bunting, Joann Dominguez, and all of the many, many other church workers who helped to make VBS a success once again. Praise God for you guys!
The May clan is headed to South Padre Island this week for a little getaway (rumor has it that Steve is also working, but I’m not sure that I buy this news! A conference in South Padre?!). Please pray for safe travel and for relaxation for the Mays.
Also on the travel front, the VanZees are headed to Missouri this week for a VanZee family reunion. Please pray for safe travel for them as well. We also need to pray for the VanZees as they get closer and closer to welcoming a new baby into their homes. They will soon be approved for a new little one. Please ask God to be with this entire process. We’re praying for you guys, Brian and Jill!
-------------
I think that concludes our prayers and praises for this week, everyone. I HAVE ONE LAST IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Rumor has it that the Livelys may need some baby stuff. If so, I think some people in our class could truly help them out! Sean and CeCe, I know, for starters, that us Nulls have a high chair that you guys can have! Dana will be talking with Sean and CeCe this week. More details to come later.
Last but not least, I hope that all of you are enjoying the Warren book. I think it is a quite readable and discussable book for us. Next week, we will be discussing Chapter 2, which addresses the question: “How Can I Rebound From Failure?”. We look forward to discussing this chapter with all of you next week!
God bless,
Wes and Dana
