Dear Friends:
Good afternoon, everyone! I hope that all of you are having a great weekend. Dana’s off to the grocery store, Corbin is asleep, and Raegan’s playing on the computer. I better work quickly on this message while I have some time!
First off, I want to say a big welcome to Loren and Jenny Jantz. They visited our class this morning. We enjoyed having you guys, Loren and Jenny! We look forward to seeing you again next Sunday morning.
Next, let’s say a big thank you to Jennifer and Steve May for bringing our snacks to class this morning. We appreciate it, Mays! Next week, Beth and Matt Ramsdell are in charge. Thanks for taking care of us, Matt and Beth!
PRAYERS AND PRAISES
Let’s get to our prayers and praises. I had a chance to talk with Sean Lively this morning. Cece has been struggling with a rather severe ear infection. Please pray that Cece’s ear will improve soon.
Please continue to pray for my friend Perry Glanzer and his family. For more details, click here.
We need to pray for Fred Curtis. He is one of my colleagues at Baylor. He’s also a neighbor of the Hudsons. Fred has been dealing with complications from diabetes as well as other difficulties lately. Please pray that Fred will have better days soon.
Erica Sullivan brought good news this morning about her co-worker, Cindy Raftery. Cindy is now out of the hospital and making progress. Please pray that Cindy will continue to do better.
Two couples in our class are now working to sell their homes. Please pray that the Jantz family will have good luck selling their home in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (I hope I’m remembering that right!). Steve and Jennifer May also still have their home for sale here in Hewitt.
Vince and Mary Erickson brought good news this morning that they have now taken another important step in the adoption process. They are now one step away from the “matching room” in China. Please continue to pray for patience and strength for Vince and Mary.
Brian and Jill VanZee have been teaching in the pre-K class for the last 6 weeks or so, but they will be able to return to our class next Sunday. I haven’t gotten an update from Brian and Jill lately, but I believe things are still moving along fine for their adoption. Please pray that God will be with the VanZees as well.
My dad, Ronnie, came down with shingles this past week. He is doing better, but please keep him in your prayers as he recovers.
Last (and probably least!), I am headed to Cleveland on Wednesday for a conference. Please pray that my trip will go well.
OUR NEXT CLASS BOOK
The next item on the agenda is our next class book. This book will only last for 1 or 2 weeks, but our next book will be 90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper. On our blog, I have uploaded a short (2 minute) video about the book (look to the right of this message).
I plan to order several copies of the book this week. If you would like a copy of the book, please let me know and I will order one for you. I will order them on MONDAY, so, if you want a copy, PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY THEN. You can pay me when the book comes in. We will finish up the Warren book next Sunday and will discuss the Piper book on October 13th.
I think that’s all for now, everyone. Dana and I hope that all of you have a great week!
God bless,
Wes and Dana

News, Prayers, and the End of September
Friends:
Good evening, everyone! I'm sure at least half of you are glued to the TV watching the Cowboys vs. Bears matchup. At the very least, I suspect that Steve May is holed up in a room by himself so as not to miss any of the action!
Thanks to the Tooleys! Brooke and Kris brought us some delicious kolaches this morning. We appreciate it, Tooleys! Next week, the Mays are in charge. Thanks, Steve and Jennifer.
We have lots of prayers and praises this week, so let's get right to it:
I would like for all of you to continue to pray for my friend Perry Glanzer and his wife Rhonda. Rhonda is still having lots of trouble. She is headed back to the hospital this week for more treatments. Click here for more details.
The Sullivans are back! I just saw Barry about an hour ago as Raegan and I were riding bicycles around the neighborhood. Barry reports that they had a great trip. They even got to swim with several 40 feet long whale sharks! Wimps not allowed. Let's praise God for a great trip for Barry and Erica.
Ben Sullivan has asked that we pray for his friend Aaron. Aaron's grandmother has been in the hospital for almost 6 months following an accident. Aaron has been dealing with other family problems as well. Please pray for better days for Aaron and his family.
Teresa Sullivan is still not feeling well. She has some sort of upper respiratory infection. Please pray for better health for Teresa.
Also on the Sullivan front, Ben is searching for a new position at work that might be a bit better than what he currently has. Please pray for discernment and God's guidance for the Sullivans.
Happy Birthday Benjamin May! That's right, he will turn 11 on Tuesday. Just think, Steve, Benjamin will be eligible to vote soon!
The Burneys have asked that we continue to pray for their daughter Emily and her new school. Pray that Emily will have a good week at school. Also with the Burneys, they had a scare this week when one of their dogs escaped. Praise God that their neighbor didn't haul the dog to the pound!
The Ericksons are celebrating a big day this week. They turned in their official papers to adopt a baby from China one year ago this week. Please pray for Vince and Mary as they go through this difficult time of waiting. Pray for patience, support, and God's guidance as they go through this process.
Also on the adoption front, let's continue to pray for Brian and Jill VanZee. They are currently waiting to hear more from a local adoption as well. Please pray that God will be with Jill and Brian as they wait as well.
Jennifer Fadal has asked us to pray for her friend Desiree. Desiree and her husband are looking to adopt a baby in the not too distant future as well. Pray for good news and a successful adoption for Desiree and her husband.
Last but not least, we need to pray for the Reed family. They live in our neighborhood (meaning the same neighborhood as us Nulls, the Nemecs, and the Sullivans). Landry Reed, their 2 year old son, has been having lots of difficulties with antibiotics. They have tried almost every antibiotic possible, and Landry has had a reaction to everything that he has taken. Please pray that the physicians will find something to help Landry. If not, please pray that he will stay free of any infections.
------------
That does it for our prayers and praises for this Sunday, everyone. We only have one chapter left in the Warren book, which means that, two weeks from today, we will be starting a new book. Sometime this week, I will send a message that includes information about several books that we are considering for our next journey.
Dana and I hope that all of you have a great week! We look forward to seeing you next Sunday.
God bless,
Wes and Dana

Message from Teresa Sullivan
Hello! I am slightly ill this weekend and couldn't make it to church. I wanted to ask if you could add my grandmother to the prayer request list. She had a stroke this past week and is now in Arlington Memorial Hospital, paralyzed on her left side. My mom and her siblings believe that she had suffered some small strokes throughout the last week because her speech seemed to slur worse everytime they talked to her on the phone. Please pray for her and my mom and aunt and uncles as they go through this process of her recuperation. Also pray that she will be comfortable for whatever the Lord is planning for her at this time. She's been talking about her death since my grandfather passed away two years ago. I worry sometimes about her, but can only resign myself to knowing that God has a plan for everyone's life and that this may be part of the final stages of her time on earth. Thanks to everyone and have a good week.
Teresa Sullivan

Fall Has Begun: Prayers, Prayers and Related Stuff
Friends:
Good afternoon, all! I hope that all of you are having a great weekend. Our fall is off to a great start with a successful Block Party and a safe return home for the Peru folks. Welcome back, Brian, Wayne, and everyone else! May God bless your terrific efforts.
Let’s thank the Nemecs—David and Elizabeth—for bringing our snacks this morning. We appreciate it, folks! We also want to thank Ashlee and David McCrary for bringing us some extra goodies this morning. We appreciate it, Ashlee and David! Next week, Kris and Brooke Tooley are in charge of our snacks. Thanks, Brooke and Kris!
Next, let’s go ahead and get to our prayers and praises:
Erica Sullivan would like for us to pray for one of her co-workers, Cindy Raftery. Cindy had a heart attack earlier this week. She remains in ICU. Please pray for Cindy’s complete and speedy recovery.
Salley T. has asked us to pray for Haley and Jordan. They will soon be transferring to Lake Waco Montessori School. Salley is quite pleased with this change, but we need to pray for Haley and Jordan as they make the transition.
The Sullivans are headed on a trip! That’s right, they are headed to South Padre for a bit of relaxation time. Please pray for safe travel for Barry and Erica (and pray that Barry will stay clear of the sharks. Well, now that I think about it Barry, you should become a shark fisherman! Maybe you could combine your interests in scuba diving and hunting somehow?! You need a shark on your wall!).
Ms. Shelley Buhner has come down with some sort of sickness this weekend. Please pray that Shelley will feel better soon. We’re praying for you, Shelley B.!
We need to pray for Dillan Nemec. It looks as though he has something called a “hydrocell”. Elizabeth reports that the situation is not altogether serious, but we need to pray for Dillan as they make plans to visit a urologist soon.
The Rogers duo would like to say a praise that Dan McGee is doing a bit better. Please ask God to continue to be with Dan as he gets stronger each day. See you in the morning, Dan!
Vince E. has asked that we continue to pray for his friends Cole and Iva. They learned this week that they may need to adopt a third child in order to keep their first two. Please ask that God continue to be involved in their lives. Pray that they will continue to be a stable home for these young kids.
On that note, I believe that Sean and Cece are now taking care of two new children. Please continue to pray for the Livelys. We are praying for you, Sean and Cece!
Jennifer May has asked that we pray for her school as they look to hire a new Pre-K teacher. Pray that God will help them to find exactly the kind of person that the school needs. Pray, also, for the kids while some of them transition to a new teacher.
I would like for all of us to continue to pray for Perry and Rhonda Glanzer. Rhonda is making some progress, but her days are still quite tough.
Let’s all say a big praise for the great work that the Peru team has done. I know that I speak for all of us when I say that we are proud of our church’s efforts to help the Peruvians. Brian, Wayne, and crew, we’ve been praying for you guys!
Last but not least, let’s say a prayer for Ashlee and David McCrary. Their baby is due to arrive in about 5 weeks. Please pray for Ashlee during these final weeks of pregnancy. Pray, also, for their little baby who will be here soon. We’re praying for you guys, McCrarys!
------------
I think that covers our prayers and praises for this Sunday, all. Please let me know if I have forgotten anything. Dana and I hope that all of you have a great week.
See you next Sunday morning!

Dear Friends:
Good evening! Well, the good news is that tomorrow isn’t truly Monday. Let’s enjoy a three day weekend, why don’t we! First off, I want to say how pleased we were to welcome Ashlee and David McCrary to our class this morning. We enjoyed having you, Ashlee and David, and we hope to see you again next week! We also were delighted to have the other half of the Hudson duo with us today. Welcome to our class, Courtney!

PRAYERS AND PRAISES
Let’s jump right into our prayers and praises.
We need to say a special prayer for the team that will be leaving for Peru on Friday. Please pray for safety and for God’s grace as this team travels to do some very important work. Pray that they will have a successful trip and will minister to as many people as possible. From our class, Brian Nicholson will be going. Please lift up Brian and the rest of the team with your prayers throughout this week and next. We’re proud of you, Brian! And we will be praying each and every day. By the way, our church, in just about two weeks, raised $80,000 for this effort. God bless our church!
Dana has asked that we pray for her friend Gloria Dulany. Gloria’s husband passed away suddenly earlier this week. The funeral is tomorrow. Please pray for comfort and healing for Gloria and her family.
Steve May has a big birthday on Tuesday of this week. I’ll let you folks ask him how many. Let’s thank God for many great years for Steve! By the way, Steve, Sean Goolsby requested that I send you this link.
Teresa Sullivan has asked that we pray for her husband Ben. Ben continues to work on a drilling rig about 2 hours from here. Pray that Ben will have safe days at work. He had an accident earlier this week, but is doing okay. Please pray for safe work for Ben and for a safe trip home soon.
Let’s continue to pray for Sean and Cece. We’re praying for you guys!
The Bartrams continue to do just fine with little Bella. Please continue to pray for them during these important first few months of Bella’s life.

Melody Libby continues to deal with her eye infection. Please pray that the medicine she has will help her to improve each day and get back to full health soon. We're praying for you, Melody!
Franci Rogers is going through a bit of job transition these days. Please pray for Franci as she and Robbie decide what is best for her and their family. Pray that Franci will find the kind of work that will allow her to use her talents and serve others in the kind of environment that she is looking for.
Jen Burney also is going through a bit of transition at work. Please pray that Jen will also find the kind of position that fits with her background and that provides her with the kind of hours that she is looking for.
Also on the Burney front, Brad is looking for a good manager to take over an important role at his work. Please pray that Brad will find the kind of person that he needs.
Last but not least, let’s also continue to pray for our church as we look for a new Associate Pastor to work with our youth. All of you know how important this decision is. Please pray that we will have a strong pool of candidates, and that we will find the kind of enthusiastic, gifted person that our young people (and this church as a whole!) deserve. Thank you for continued prayers on this important task.
---------
I think that covers our prayers and praises for this Sunday evening.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Be sure to vote in the poll that you see to the left of this message! For those of you who may not know, our class is in charge of the mechanical bull at the upcoming Block Party (yep, that’s right; we’re in charge of the bull). I want some video of Robbie Rogers on that bull! If we do get such video (can you help us out here, Hookham?), I will figure out a way to upload it to YouTube and post a link on this here blog. Video of Robbie on the bull would draw some serious attention!
Dana and I hope that all of you have a great Labor Day and an enjoyable week ahead. We look forward to seeing all of you again next Sunday morning.
God bless,
Wes and Dana

Pray that Franci will find the kind of work that will allow her to use her talents and serve others in the kind of environment that she is looking for.
Jen Burney also is going through a bit of transition at work. Please pray that Jen will also find the kind of position that fits with her background and that provides her with the kind of hours that she is looking for.
Also on the Burney front, Brad is looking for a good manager to take over an important role at his work. Please pray that Brad will find the kind of person that he needs.
Last but not least, let’s also continue to pray for our church as we look for a new Associate Pastor to work with our youth. All of you know how important this decision is. Please pray that we will have a strong pool of candidates, and that we will find the kind of enthusiastic, gifted person that our young people (and this church as a whole!) deserve. Thank you for continued prayers on this important task.

I think that covers our prayers and praises for this Sunday evening.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Be sure to vote in the poll that you see to the left of this message! For those of you who may not know, our class is in charge of the mechanical bull at the upcoming Block Party (yep, that’s right; we’re in charge of the bull). I want some video of Robbie Rogers on that bull! If we do get such video (can you help us out here, Hookham?), I will figure out a way to upload it to YouTube and post a link on this here blog. Video of Robbie on the bull would draw some serious attention!
Dana and I hope that all of you have a great Labor Day and an enjoyable week ahead. We look forward to seeing all of you again next Sunday morning.
God bless,
Wes and Dana

Confidence in a Crisis
Friends:
Hello, all! I hope you’ve had a great week. Busy days at the Null home! I’m writing to make sure everyone knows which chapter we will be discussing tomorrow morning in class. We will discuss Chapter 8, which is titled “How Can I Be Confident in a Crisis?”. We’ll have lots of good material to discuss.
Dana and I look forward to seeing you in the morning!
God bless,
Wes and Dana
