Friends:
Good evening! I hope you enjoyed your Sunday afternoon. I managed to cut the grass, wash Dana's car, and supervise some golf in the back yard without any major injuries. Sounds like a successful Sunday afternoon to me!
I enjoyed class this morning. Let's thank Jeff and Bernie for bringing our donuts and donut holes. We appreciate it, Hookhams! Next week, Ben and Teresa Sullivan are signed up. Thanks very much, Sullivans!
PRAYERS AND PRAISES
We have lots of prayers and praises this week, so stay tuned.
The Buhners are busy packing and traveling. They close on both houses this Friday. On top of packing and preparing for the closings, Shelley has a business trip to Orlando this week. Pray for safe travel for Shelley, and for sanity for the entire Buhner clan as they soldier through what will be a hectic week!
Jennifer May has asked that we pray for the Confirmation Class as they prepare for a retreat next weekend. Pray that God will bless the trip and continue to be with the very important work that is going on with our confirmands.
Jill VanZee brought an update on the friends she asked us to pray for last week. First, her friend Michael Anne (sp.?) has received good news regarding her cancer. It looks as though she is going to be okay. The VanZees' neighbor, who is struggling with breast cancer, is scheduled for surgery on May 5th. Please pray that the surgery will go smoothly. The good news is that she will only need one surgery. Last but not least, Jill would like for us to say a praise for a doctor friend of hers who has been struggling with infertility. The great news is that she recently learned that it looks as though she will have twins. Please pray for health for these little babies and for strength for their Mother.
We need to keep up our prayers for Steve May's Dad. It looks as though he may need to move into a nursing home following his seizure last weekend. Let's pray for better health for Steve's Dad and for strength and understand for Steve's Mom.
Vince E. brought some good news this morning. He had an agent call him this week to discuss his job prospects. Vince is now preparing a few videos to help with the search. Please continue your prayers for Vince as he prepares these very important materials. Let's also keep praying for wisdom, discernment, and lots of exciting possibilities for Vince and Mary.
Shannon and Rod Smith brought a praise today that Rod has been offered a new job opportunity here in the Waco area. They would like for us to pray for God's guidance for them as they decide what is best for Rod and their family. Keep us posted, Rod!
Steve May has asked that we pray for our country during the difficult days we have been experiencing lately. Let's pray for unity, statesmanship, and reason in the face of lots of crazy things going on. Pray that we will find smoother days ahead very soon.
Jennifer May would like for us to pray for the China Spring school district as they begin their search for a new superintendent. Their current superintendent will be moving to Wichita Falls. Pray that God will lead the right person to China Spring.
Christina G. brought two prayers this morning. She would like for us to pray for her as she makes some important decisions about her school work at Baylor. She is trying to decide whether or not to scale back and go part-time instead of full-time. Christina also would like for us to pray for Texas A&M as they celebrate their "Muster" celebration this week. Let's pray for everyone who will be mourning the loss of loved ones this week.
Last but certainly not least, Beth Ramsdell would like for us to pray for her and Matt as they search for something that might help them in their quest to become parents. Beth will be visiting a doctor next Friday (April 24th) to learn more about perhaps what could be done. Please pray for strength, patience, and understanding for Beth and Matt. Hang in there, Beth! We are praying for you every day! Please keep us posted on how things go on Friday.

"Fireproof" Movie Coming Up!
I think that covers our rather lengthy list this Sunday. I have just a quick note about our next "study" in class. Jennifer May had the great idea for us to watch the movie "Fireproof" and then follow one of the study guides that comes with the film. Dana and I watched the film last night and enjoyed it. I'll say more about what we plan to do with "Fireproof" later, but, for now, just know that this will be an exciting opportunity for us that we will begin in about 3 or 4 weeks. We don't want any of you to miss what I think will be some interesting discussions! Here is some more on "Fireproof" if you would like to know more:

Dana and I hope that all of you have a great week. We look forward to seeing everyone again next Sunday morning, if not before!
God bless,
Wes
