"The Sun'll Come Out . . . .", and Other News and Prayers!

Friends:

Good evening, all! How about some beautiful weather this afternoon?! Us Nulls even managed to pull a few weeds in the backyard today. Let springtime return!

Let's thank Ben and Nicki Sanchez for bringing our donuts this morning. They even managed to pick up a few St. Patrick's Day green specials. Thanks, Ben and Nicki! Next week, Rod and Shannon Smith are in charge. We appreciate it, Smiths!

NEMEC UPDATE

Here's a reminder for those who may be interested in taking a meal to the Nemecs. We took them some dinner this evening, and everyone seems to be doing great. Elizabeth looks even better in person than she does in that photo! And would you believe that Dana whipped up some baked spaghetti instead of Bush's Chicken?! Look out! Bush's Chicken may go out of business given this change in the Null household. Let's continue to pray for Elizabeth and young Bryce during these first weeks of Bryce's life.

Here's the scoop on how to sign up if you would like:

PRAYERS AND PRAISES

Let's begin our (rather long!) list of prayers and praises this week with a prayer for the Buhner family. It looks as though the flu plague has invaded their home. Please pray that everyone will be doing better soon. I think Nash is out of school until at least Wednesday. Pray for better days and health for the Buhners. Hang in there, Shawn and Shelley!

Next, Dana and I would like for you to continue your prayers for Dana's grandmother, Maggie. She is going in for surgery on Tuesday morning following her broken arm late last week. Please pray that the surgery will go smoothly and that she will recover completely and quickly.

Nicki Sanchez would like for us to pray for Joe, her Mom's boyfriend. He has been battling skin cancer for some time. The praise is that he seems to be doing better, but let's pray that he will get better each day and only get good news regarding the cancer.

In addition, Nicki has asked that we pray for her mother. She is having surgery on her neck this week. Please pray that everything will go well and that she will regain complete use of her arm soon. Pray, also, for as little pain as possible.

We need to pray for Ben Sullivan and his work. Ben is quite worried about potential layoffs. Pray that everything will be okay with his job. Ben also hurt his back this past week. He is recovering, but needs our prayers that his back will get back to 100% soon.

Christina G. has a couple of prayers regarding her work at Baylor. First, she would like for us to pray that she will find a way to travel to an upcoming conference that would be good for her to attend. She also is now looking for another source of work since her Baylor job has run out. Pray that something will turn up soon. Finally, there is a job opportunity that has come up for Christina's boyfriend in Dallas. Pray that God will be with Tim as he consider this possibility of moving closer to Christina.

Last but certainly not least, we need to pray for Shannon Smith as she enters the last three months of her pregnancy. She is due June 14th. Since one of Shannon's previous pregnancies resulted in an early baby, Shannon needs our prayers that this baby will go to full-term and arrive completely healthy. We're praying for you, Shannon!

I believe that covers our prayers and praises for this week. This morning, we moved on with a new study on "Decision-making" that I think will be a good follow-up to our study on "Perseverance". Next week, we will take a look at a lesson called "Advice: With a Little Help from Our Friends". If you want, to take a look at Exodus 18:13-27 before next Sunday.

For those of you who may be interested in buying the study, click here.

Have a great week, everyone. Oh, one more thing. Congratulations Lady Bears! Big XII Champions! Let's also say congratulations to the Men's team for a great tournament showing. Go Bears in the NIT and Lady Bears in the NCAA tournament!

See you next week, everyone.

God bless,

Wes and Dana
