Friends:
Isn't little Dean Smith precious?! Once again, congratulations Rod and Shannon! We are so happy for you guys. We look forward to seeing you in class again soon, but only after you've had a chance to catch up on some sleep! And we realize this may not happen until sometime around 2012 or 2013! : )
Let's say a big thanks to the Hookham clan for bringing our donuts this morning. We appreciate you guys, Hookhams! Next week, I plan to whip up a sausage, egg, and cheese casserole for everyone. Come and get it! Or, we could pick up donuts. I guess you'll have to show up to find out!
PRAYERS AND PRAISES
How about some prayers and praises for today. Let's start off with a big praise for all the great fathers out there! I was rewarded by my precious son this afternoon when he fell asleep in my lap about 1:00 while we were watching golf. He hasn't napped in my arms for at least a year. What a great present! Now, if we could just find a way to get Phil Mickelson to win this tournament tomorrow . . . .
We need to pray for the rough situation in Iran. Pray for peace and good political leadership in that country soon.
We need to pray for the family of the little 19 month old boy who was killed yesterday in a tragic car accident in Waco. Please pray for comfort, peace, and understanding for everyone who is mourning this terribly sad loss.
The VanZees will be headed to pick up Breeley this Friday. She has been spending some time with her grandparents in South Dakota. Pray that her last week will go well and that the VanZee's trip will go safely on Friday.
How about a big praise for Ms. Bernie! She passed an important certification exam on Friday. We knew it all along, Bernie! Praise God for her great skills in architecture. Now if she could just figure out a way to control Jeff . . . .
We need to keep praying for Bernie's secretary, Linda. She had her mastectomy surgery on Thursday, but not everything went according to plan. She will need to go back for the reconstructive surgery. She also will need to have additional chemotherapy and radiation treatments since the surgeons found more cancer. Please pray for good news for Linda and successful reconstructive surgery as soon as possible.
Jennifer Fadal would like for us to keep up our prayers for her sister's father-in-law. He has recently moved into a nursing home. Pray that his transition will go well. This family also is dealing with cancer. Pray for better days and comfort for this family during a difficult time.
We need to keep up our prayers for Steve May's Dad. He is now living in an assisted living/nursing home and doesn't like it all that much. Please pray for everyone who is helping Steve's Dad adjust to his new life.
Christina G. is waiting to hear back from Univ of North Texas regarding her graduate school application. Pray that everything will go well for her as far as graduate school is concerned. She also would like for us to pray for her friend Brennan and his work at law school.
Last but certainly not least, the Nicholson clan is driving home from Wichita Falls this evening. Pray for their safe travel.

I think that takes care of matters for today, everyone. I have attached (in the email, not the blog) our lesson for next week. I hope you will take a look at it if you have a chance. We will watch another clip from Fireproof and then discuss it based on this lesson.
Have a terrific week, everyone! We look forward to seeing you next Sunday.
Wes and Dana
