News, Prayers, and Where's My Trash Can?!

Friends:

Howdy, folks! What in the world has gotten into this place? I swear the wind must be blowing 60 miles an hour out there. I'm feeling like we're back in the desert of New Mexico! Let's hope this stuff blows through soon (ha ha, get it?! ha ha, get it?!). : )

It was great to see everyone this morning. Let's go ahead and jump to our many prayers and praises.

PRAYERS AND PRAISES

First off, I want to say a praise for my lovely wife for teaching the Fish Dish class! She had a great first day. Way to go, Mrs. Null! I still think we need to find a way to combine the eating that takes place in Fish Dish with our Christian Living snacks each week.

Next, we need to keep up our prayers for Shannon Smith. She is now just about two months away from their baby's arrival. Pray for strength and health for the baby and for good days for Shannon. Please pray for a complete term for the little one.

Vince E. has two prayers for us today. First, he would like for us to pray for his sister Andrea. She is recovering from surgery. Pray for a complete and quick recovery for Andrea. Vince also would like for us to pray for his nephew Dillon. He recently lost his job at the Oklahoma City Zoo. Dillon also is having some family difficulties. Please pray for employment for Dillon and for better days for his family.

We need to pray for the Hudsons as they travel to the Grand Canyon and other Arizona stops late this week. Pray for an enjoyable, successful trip for the Hudsons.

Jill V-Zee has three prayers for us this week. She would like for us to pray for her neighbor, Tara. Tara was diagnosed with breast cancer this week. Please pray for strength and good treatment for Tara. Jill also would like for us to pray for a co-worker of hers who was diagnosed with cancer as well (this time uterine cancer). Pray for good treatment and strength for Jill's neighbor as well. Last, Jill and Brian have some friends in San Angelo who have been dealing with lots of health issues throughout their family. Pray that they will have easier days and weeks in the months ahead.

Teresa S. would like for us to pray for one of her teacher friends named Karen. Karen's father passed away this week. Pray for peace, comfort, and support for Karen during this difficult time of grief.

Steve M. has a praise this week for a good two weeks for him in New Jersey. He is enjoying his new company. He begins his full frontal drug sale assault on his former employee tomorrow morning. Go, Steve, go! Please pray that things will continue to go well for Steve as he begins his new position.

Steve also would like for us to keep up our prayers for two of his friends who are still looking for new positions. Pray for strength, understanding, and successful new jobs very soon for Steve's friends.

Christina G. is looking for a new position now that her work-study job at BU is about to run out. Pray that Christina will find something soon. Christina also would like for us to pray for her and her friend, Tim. Tim has been spending lots of time in Wisconsin, which has made things difficult. Christina also has her induction into a Social Work Honors society this week. Pray that everything will go well. Congratulations, Christina!

Rumor has it that the Buhners sold their house this week. They have to be out by April 19th! Let's say a praise that the Buhners were able to find a buyer. Pray that God will be with them as they search for a new place to hang their Buhner hats.

Last but certainly not least, let's keep up our prayers for our friend Vince as he looks for a new position. Pray that God will give Vince and Mary the wisdom, patience, and many possibilities they need at this time.

I believe that takes care of matters for this Sunday. May all of you have a blessed Easter Week. Let's be certain to slow down long enough to grasp the significance of the days ahead. Dana and I look forward to seeing you next Sunday morning.

God bless,
