Fall is Here, Ike is Gone, and We Move On





Friends:

Good afternoon! Thought you might enjoy a couple more pictures of Malia. She will arrive home with Vince and Mary next Sunday at 12:45 at the Waco airport!

PRAYERS AND PRAISES

Let's go ahead and get to our prayers and praises. We need to continue to pray for Amy N. and Elizabeth N. Amy is due in about 5-6 weeks! Let's also pray for Mary E. as she recovers from the delivery. : ) Be sure to pray for Mary, Vince, and Malia as they travel home this weekend.

We need to pray for all of the families that have been impacted by the terrible train wreck in California. I believe that several dozen people have died. Please pray for comfort for everyone who is mourning the death of loved ones. Pray for those who are recovering as well.

Ms. Raelynn VanZee goes in this Wednesday morning for her ear tube surgery. Please pray for a successful surgery and a quick recovery for Raelynn. Pray, also, that these tubes will do the trick and Raelynn will have some healthy weeks and months in the future!

We need to continue our prayers for the Coltrain family. They remain in a state of transition as they continue to work to sell their home. Please pray for smoother and easier days for Khalil and Leslie. Pray for safe travel for Khalil as he goes back and forth to Round Rock. Pray, also, that they will find a buyer for their home!

We also need to pray for everyone who has been affected by Hurricane Ike. This has been a devastating storm that has done almost $10 billion worth of damage. Pray for everyone who is working to rebuild and for those who are stranded.

Jennifer May has asked that we pray for the China Spring families that are mourning the lost of the two kids who died in a car wreck about a week ago. Please pray for comfort and strength for the families as well as for everyone at China Spring High School who is dealing with the loss.

Let's continue our prayers for Jason Bunting's school. They continue to deal with the loss of one of their teachers a few weeks ago. Pray for strength and healing for everyone at the school, teachers and students. Let's pray that they will look toward the future and have a great school year.

Last but certainly not least, I would appreciate your prayers for the family of one of my colleagues, Scott Moore. Their son Andy (who I think is 9 or 10 years old) was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in his hand. I don't know many details, but I know the Moore family has been in Houston this week (dealing with the hurricane as well, of course). Please pray for healing and health for Andy and for strength, courage, and God's grace for the Moore family.

I believe that covers it for today, folks. I enjoyed hearing everyone's thoughts on our Proverbs verses this morning. Next week, we will look at the following verses. Take a look before then if you have time:

Proverbs 3:1-4
Proverbs 3:5-8
Proverbs 3:9-12

Have a great week, everyone! We'll look forward to seeing you next Sunday.

P.S.--I also need to say a thank you to those who helped run the Big Bull at the Block Party. I appreciate it. I think everyone had a great time!
