Uh, Winter's Here, and Other Prayers

Friends:

Good afternoon! Hope you're enjoying the cooler weather. I know that I am! I guess this means that winter has arrived?

Is there any way that I can start off without bragging on the Baylor Bears? Take that, Aggies! All in all, it's been an exciting weekend for Baylor athletics. On top of the football win and the Men's basketball smashing last night, the Lady Bears, at this writing, are up by 1 at half-time against #2 Stanford. Go Lady Bears!

Speaking of sports, let's say a big thanks to Vince & Mary E. for bringing our donuts this morning. Appreciate it, guys! Next week, us Nulls are signed up. Us buying donuts will make the Null kids happy!

REMINDER ABOUT CHRISTMAS PARTY

I want to remind everyone that our annual Christmas Party will take place on Saturday, December 6th, at 6:00 p.m. We will be having a dessert reception. Dana and I will supply the drinks. For the rest of you, please bring your favorite dessert. Plan for an exciting time! The kids will enjoy playing with one of another. On top of that, rumor has it that Santa may indeed make another surprise appearance at our Christmas Party again this year! Don't miss it!

PRAYERS AND PRAISES

We have a number of prayers to get to this week. First off, Vince brought a praise that it looks as though Mary's grandmother's house will be sold soon. They received an offer right away. Praise God for this great news!

We also need to pray for Vince's parents, who are in town visiting this weekend. They will return home tomorrow. Please pray for their safe travel.

We learned this morning that Ms. Mallory Nicholson, the newest member of our class, has been having an allergic reaction to her milk. Yep, that's right. The Nicholsons are 3 for 3 when it comes to allergic babies. Please pray that Brian and Amy will get everything figured out so that Mallory will have the milk she needs. We're praying for you, Amy!

Brian VanZee is out of town this week hunting in South Dakota. Please pray for a safe and successful trip for him Let's also pray for Jill, Raelynn, and Breeley while Brian is out of town.

Steve May continues his hard work on the job front. He had several good interviews last week. Let's continue our prayers that God will put Steve to work exactly where he needs to be. Pray that God will be with the Mays as they make an important decision sometime soon, hopefully within the next 2-3 weeks. Pray for lots of good options for Steve.

Kristin Dobogai would like for us to pray for a friend of her Mom. She was diagnosed with cancer recently. Please pray for good treatment and better health soon for her.

Also from the Dobogais, Matt would like for us to pray for the lady here in town who had a car crash into her house last week. She is doing fine, but needs our prayers as she, literally, puts her house back together. Matt worked the scene and said that, as expected, she was having a hard time with what happened. Matt also would like for us to pray for the man who caused the collision.

Jennifer May would like for us to pray for the mother-in-law of one of her friends named Teresa. She has been diagnosed with cancer and is not doing well at all. Pray for strength, comfort, and healing for her and the family.

We need to continue praying for our expectant mommies: Elizabeth Nemec and Shannon Smith. Pray for full terms and healthy babies.

Let's also keep praying for the families in our class that are still working to sell their homes: the Schneiders, the Coltrains, and the Fadals. Pray for resolution!

Last but certainly not least, we need to keep up our prayers for Teresa Sullivan's Dad. Please pray for healing for Teresa's Dad and for safe travel for Teresa as she goes to be with him this weekend.

I think that covers matters for today. Next week, we will continue our theme of "Excellence" by looking at a study on discernment. For those who want to read ahead, take a look at Jeremiah 7:1-15. Our lesson next week will focus on these passages. I think you'll enjoy it!

Dana and I hope that all of you have a great week. See you next Sunday. Thanksgiving in almost here!

God bless,

Wes and Dana
