Prayers and News on a Heat Wave Sunday . . . .

Friends:

Good evening, all! How about this 70 degree weather?! Fine by me, except for the fact that it reminds me I need to rake the leaves!

I hope everyone has enjoyed the weekend. We only have one more full weekend before Christmas! My apologies if I just added to anyone's stress level . . . .

Let's start off by welcoming Danny Ramsey to our class. He visited this morning. His wife Pam was home sick. We enjoyed having you, Danny! I hope you will come back and visit us again soon, next time with Pam.

Next, let's thank Ben and Teresa Sullivan for bringing our donuts today. We appreciate it, guys! Next week, us Nulls will take care of the snacks.

NEWS AND PRAYERS

As usual, we have lots of news and prayers. First off, Vince E. brought great news this morning that he has accepted a sports director position at the KRGV station down in the Rio Grande Valley. Congratulations, Vince! We are very happy for you guys. KRGV is an ABC affiliated station that has won many awards. Vince will be replacing someone who has been sports director there for 35 years. They are very lucky to have you, Vince! Let's pray for a smooth transition for them. Mary plans to stay here in town for a while, so we will continue to see her each week as well as Vince about once per month. We will be praying for you guys during the transition, Vince and Mary!

On that note, Vince would like us to keep praying for everyone out there who is still searching for employment. He knows how difficult the time of searching and stress can be.

Also from Vince, he would like for us to pray for one of his friends, Michelle. Michelle's mother, not a smoker, is fighting lung cancer. Pray for good medicine and comfort for Michelle's mom.

We have two expectant Mommies to keep in our prayers. Beth Ramsdell had her shower this afternoon. As far as I know, everything went quite well. Let's keep praying for good health for Beth and little Levi-to-be.

We also need to pray for Barry and Erica Sullivan. Many of you remember them as part of our class before they moved to Gainesville. Erica is about three months along with her pregnancy. We need to pray for her since she has had some difficulties. Pray for easy days and strength for Erica. She does have some back problems, so let's pray for as little pain as possible. Since we still consider Barry and Erica as part of our class, this news extends our pregnancy period well into next summer! Thanks for coming through for us, Barry and Erica. This news puts us at almost 8 years of straight pregnancy for at least one person in our class. Quite an accomplishment, I think! We have a slight reprieve, but somebody else needs to come through by June . . .

We also, of course, need to keep praying for little Reese Nicholson. She goes back in for another round of chemo treatments in the morning. Pray for safety for Amy on the drive. Pray also for the treatments to be as smooth as possible. One week at a time, Brian and Amy!

Christina G. would like for us to pray for her supervisor at work, Tom Charlton. He goes in for a cancer check-up tomorrow. Pray for a safe trip and for good news as far as Tom's health is concerned.

Ben Sullivan informed us today that it looks as though he will be accepting a promotion this week. He has an opportunity to move off the drilling rigs and begin to work as an electrician. Let's pray for Ben as he makes this important shift in his life, one that should make his work a bit more safe.

Last but not least, Ben May had a great weekend. He made all-region band with his trombone skills! It sounds as though high-quality trombone playing runs in the May family. Congratulations, Ben! Let's pray that Ben will continue to develop all of his talents, which look to be quite broad (basketball, football, trombone, school, etc. . . . .must take after his Mother).

----------

I think that covers matters for this Sunday, everyone. Let's all pray that we will find a way to slow down and appreciate the meaning of this sacred season.

Have a great week, folks. See you next Sunday morning!

Wes
