El Nino, El Prayerso, and El Praiso: P.S.--Cowboys in Denver!

Friends:

Good afternoon, all! Hope you're enjoying your Sunday afternoon. I heard a rumor today that El Nino is the cause of all this rain. Who knows. Whatever the case, I'm enjoying it! The only problem is that all of this water might wake up the grass . . . . . NO!

Thanks to Jill VanZee, we had some great donuts and cinnamon rolls this morning! We appreciate you, Jill. Next week, Steve and Jennifer May are in charge. Thanks for coming through yet again, Mays!

PRAYERS AND PRAISES

We don't have too many announcements this week, so let's get right to our prayers and praises.

We need to pray for the Buhner family. Shawn's Mom passed away early this morning. Please pray for peace and comfort for the entire Buhner family. Hang in there, Shawn. We are praying for you.

Beth Ramsdell is home sick with a cold today. Given that she's 5-6 months pregnant, she can't take many medications. Pray that she will get better soon. On Tuesday, Matt and Beth will also find out the flavor of this little youngster Beth's carrying. The pattern for our class is lots of girls (see Brian Nicholson for details), but we'll see how you guys do. We'll be excited to hear! Let me know, guys.

Brian and Breeley VanZee are hunting this weekend. Pray for their safe travel home this afternoon. Rumor has it that Breeley is quite the markswoman with her .22 rifle.

How about Cindy Abbott! She joined our church this morning. Great to have you as a member, Cindy! Praise God for your great decision. We look forward to having you with us every week!

Christina G. leaves for Denton on Friday. Pray for her safe travel. She also will be celebrating her Dad's 60th birthday this week. Pray for a good celebration. Finally, Christina's Mom and Dad leave this week for some time at their beach home. Pray for a safe trip and an enjoyable time away.

Happy birthday Jeff Hookham! Just for the record, here, Jeff is five years older than yours truly. So, in addition to me being better looking than Jeff, having better hair, catching more fish, and being smarter, I'm younger. Happy birthday, Jeff! Rumor has it that he and I will be traveling to a Cowboys game in a few weeks to celebrate. Look out, baby. That stadium ain't see nothing' yet. I want on the big screen.

Jennifer May would like for us to pray for the new Pre-K teacher at her school. She begins tomorrow. Pray for Jennifer and everyone else who is helping the new teacher settle in. Pray for the students who will begin with a new teacher tomorrow.

Jill V. also would like for us to pray for one of her co-workers. She will be giving birth to twins soon. She has been dealing with some sicknesses lately, so that has made the pregnancy a bit more difficult than normal. Pray for her and these two little babies. Pray for a successful birth and healthy babies.

Last but not least, let's pray for our church as we search for a new song/worship leader for the 9:30 service. Pray that God will lead the right person to us.

I think that covers matters for today, everyone. The only other possible prayer, given all of the Cowboys fans out there, would be for the Cowboys to beat the Denver Broncos today, but I figure God has other matters to worry about (no offense Cowboys fans!). By the way, why didn't one of you Cowboys fans plan a road trip and invite me to this game?! Sure would be nice to make a trip to the mountains and do some fly-fishing! Great fishing to be had in northern Colorado. I'm always ready, folks!

Have a great week, everyone. We look forward to seeing you again next Sunday morning.

Wes
