Dear Friends:
Good afternoon, all! Well, Corbin is asleep, so I better take advantage of this opportunity to get our update written. Thanks to us Nulls for bringing the donuts this morning! Way to go, us. Next week, the Buhners are in charge. Thanks for taking care of us, Buhners!
BABY STUFF FOR THE LIVELYS: If you can donate any baby stuff to the Livelys, please contact Dana at jnull@hot.rr.com. They need all the help we can give them!
The only announcement I have today is about “JBUG” (see Amy Nicholson for details—this is a ladies only event!). The next JBUG get-together will take place on August 19, 2007. Put the date on your calendars, ladies!
Let’s get to our prayers and praises:
There are lots of people traveling this week. Please pray for safe travel for: the VanZees (who are off to Missouri), the Rogers (who are off to Disneyland), the Ericksons (who are in Oklahoma), the Mays (who are headed to New Braunfels), Amy Nicholson and the Nicholson girls (who are headed to Wichita Falls and then on to Houston), Jen and Emily Burney (who are traveling to Canada), and the Ramsdells (who are headed to Fredericksburg). I hope I’m not forgetting someone! Oh, I’m headed to Michigan on Thursday for a conference. I will be home Saturday. Please pray for safe travel for everyone who is out of town. This is obviously the time of year for family vacations!
Jenny LaSeur has asked us to pray for her cousin Katie. Katie will be undergoing thyroid cancer surgery tomorrow. Please pray for a successful surgery and for healing for Katie.
We have a couple of prayers for Melody and her family. They are looking for a new home, so please pray for that. We also need to pray for Elise, Melody’s daughter. Elise has been missing her grandmother, who died about a year ago. Please ask God to be with Elise.
Let’s continue to pray for Sean and Cece Lively. They will be getting their two little ones on August 1st. Please ask God to bless the Livelys and their growing family!
Also on the baby front, please pray for Brian and Pam Bartram. Pam is due on August 11th! Please ask God to be with her and their new little one, who will be here soon. We’re praying for you guys, Pam and Brian!
Please pray for all of the construction that is going on at Baylor. There is lots to be done in time for the school year to begin. Ask God to be with everyone who is helping to get things ready to go. And, oh yeah, don’t forget to pray for our friend Brian who is in charge! Pray that parents, students, faculty, and everyone else will understanding everything that it takes to do all of this construction in such a short amount of time.
Let’s praise God for Jackson Jacque! The Jacques baptized Jackson this morning during the 11:00 service. Way to go, Jacques! Let’s be sure and thank God for this great decision.
Shelley Buhner has asked us to pray for a little girl named Tessa. Tessa is the daughter of Shelley’s step-sister. Tessa had a seizure recently, and the family is worried that it could be epilepsy. Please ask God to be with Tessa and her family. Pray for continued positive news for Tessa.
Let’s continue to pray for the Mays as they work to sell their new home. They also recently made a decision to build a home as well. Please ask God to be with the Mays during this time of transition (and, get this: if we can get the Mays to add another 2000 or 3000 square feet to their new home, we’ll host future Christian Living Christmas parties at their house!).
Bernie Hookham has asked us to pray for Madison, the little girl who is in Cook’s hospital. She did not have a good week this past week. Ask God to be with everyone who is helping Madison.
We need to continue to pray for Ben Sullivan’s grandmother. She will be having surgery this week. Ask God to be with her as she recovers. Please also pray for Ben. He is taking off from work this week to be with his grandma.
Gabe Dominguez has asked that we pray for a little baby named Carlos. Carlos has been having some trouble breathing. Ask God to be with him and to help him to feel better soon. Pray that Carlos will be able to go home from the hospital this week.
Oops---Corbin’s waking up. More later.....
Okay I’m back. Dana and Raegan are now home—two hours later!
Last but not least, please continue to pray for the Saxon family. The funeral service for Paul Saxon last Tuesday was simply incredible. To read more about Paul’s story, including the remarks that Terrill and Leigh made at the funeral, click on this link. The Saxons have shown a tremendous amount of hope and courage throughout the last 4 1/2 years. They continue to need our prayers for strength.

God bless,
Wes and Dana

Hey guys--the house hunting is going great!! Thanks for your prayers. I do however need to add another prayer concern. I grew up in a very small town north of Lubbock--my parents still live there. Two nights ago, a very dear family friend was killed in her home. My mother, Rose Mary Carman, is taking this very hard. The authorities are stating that Nadine Rogers--our friend--had a disagreement with a young person she knew. He later returned and killed her and stole things from her home. He HAS been caught and will likely be charged with capital murder. Would you please keep the people of Abernathy, TX, my mother, and especially Nadine's family in your prayers. Nadine was very actively involved in the church I grew up in and eventually was married in. She has known me since birrth and gave freely to the community. Thank you
In HIS name
Melody
