Don't Miss the News This Week!

Friends:

Howdy! Hope everyone's had a good weekend. We have lots going on in our class these days, so let's start with the exciting news!

David and Elizabeth Nemec are having their third baby! Yep, that's right. Woohoo, Nemecs! Let's be sure to pray for Elizabeth and the little baby-to-be. This youngster on the way can be added to the impending Nicholson baby and the soon-to-be-with us Erickson baby. We continue to expand every 9 months or so!

Next, we need to thank the Jacques for bringing our donuts this morning. We appreciate it, Russ and Kayla! (By the way, Corbin and Raegan appreciated the leftovers.) Next week, Ben and Teresa Sullivan are in charge. Thanks, Sullivans!

MORE PRAYERS AND PRAISES

We have several prayers in addition to those above. Let's keep praying for Vince and Mary as they plan their trip to China. Keep up with their story at their great web site! We're praying for you, Vince and Mary.

I know that lots of people from our class are traveling this week. Please pray for the following folks. These are the people I know are traveling:

Hudsons
Goolsbys
Shawn Buhner
Nemecs

Let's say a praise for Jackson Jacque. He turns two this week! Pray that God will be with Jackson on his special day.

Hunter Sullivan also celebrated a birthday recently. Let's say a praise for Hunter!

Vince has asked that we pray for one of his co-workers, Larry. Larry has made some bad decisions lately. Please pray that things will get better for him soon. Pray that God will protect Larry from any harmful effects from the decisions he's made.

We need to continue to pray for Shawn Buhner as he works with his parents and their move. It looks as though Shawn's mom may be moving to Waco. Please pray for good decision-making and for strength for Shawn as he works with them.

The Mays brought a praise today that their visit with Jennifer's dad and young Lewis went well. Praise God for a great visit!

Also on the May front, Steve's brother has gotten good news on his skin cancer scare. It looks as though the surgeries took care of all of the melanoma. Pray for continued good news for him.

We need to pray for the Saxon family. Believe it or not, tomorrow is the one year anniversary of Paul Saxon's death. You can keep up with them at the following web sites. Please pray for God's strength and compasion for the Saxons during these difficult days.

Please pray for safe travel for my Dad. He's driving to LaGrange, Texas, today for a funeral. MY Dad's uncle, Parker, passed away yesterday. Pray for all of Parker's friends and family.

Last but not least, Dana will be having her wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday morning. Please pray for a complication-free surgery and a quick and speedy recovery for Dana.

I think that's all for now, everyone. I would like to send along links to two articles that we discussed this morning. You can find them here and here. I hope those of you who weren't in class today will enjoy reading them.

Have a great week, everyone. See you next Sunday!
