Sunday Update, February Football, and Other Bidness

Friends:

Hello all! I hope everyone is having a good afternoon/evening. I just finished cutting the grass for the first cut of the season. I even put down some fertilizer. Let the growing season begin!

In other news, is it just me or does the Superbowl get later every year?! I distinctly remember it being played on my Mother's birthday--January 28th--many times back in the day, but no later than that. Sooner or later, we can enjoy March Madness and Superbowl Sunday on the same day!

Us Nulls covered the donuts this morning. Thanks, us. Next week, Jeff and Bernie Hookham are signed up. Appreciate it, Hookhams!

GET READY FOR ANOTHER LADIES' NIGHT OUT!

Okay, get this. The ladies have scheduled another evening of fun. It will take place on Friday, February 26th, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the Bernie Hookham home. Thanks very much, Bernie, for hosting this event! I know the ladies appreciate it very much. Once again, I offer my lil' smokies. : )

Be sure to put this event on your calendars, ladies! I know it will be a great time once again.

PRAYERS AND PRAISES

We have lots of people to remember today. First off, praise God for little Levi Ramsdell! Beth and Levi were discharged yesterday afternoon, so they are at home. As far as I know, everyone is doing well. Let's keep praying for healthy days for Levi and Beth. At the bottom of this message, I will post all of the information you need to sign up to take a meal to Beth and Matt. Thank you for considering this opportunity to bless this couple as they tackle parenthood for the first time. We are praying for you, Beth and Matt!

Brian VanZee has asked that we continue to keep John Tibbs and his family in our prayers. They are still dealing with John's sister's cancer and now John has a grandmother who isn't doing well. Thanks for your prayers for this family.

We need to pray for Bernie Hookham as she recovers from a stomach bug. Jeff is traveling back from Colorado today, so pray for his safe travel as well. Bernie also says a big thank you to the Hudsons and us Nulls for helping her out while Jeff was out of town. No problem at all, Bernie! The girls were great!

Rod Smith would like for us to pray for Shannon and little Henry Dean as they travel home from Arizona this evening. Pray for their safe travel. Let's also continue to pray for Shannon. She spent the weekend going through her brother's stuff in Arizona with her Mom. We are praying for you, Shannon!!

Let's keep praying for Ben Sullivan's safety as he works out in the oil patch.

We have two families that are tackling potty training with their little ones. These things require lots of prayers and patience! Please pray that things will go well for little Robbie Sullivan and Raelynn VanZee.

Benjamin May will be spending his last week with his good friend Garrett this week. Garrett, you'll recall, is moving to Arizona. Pray that God will help Benjamin enjoy his time with his friend. Let's also pray that the move will go well for Garrett.

We had Vince E. back with us this morning! He's headed back to the Rio Grand Valley this evening. Pray for safe travel for Vince and for Mary and Malia while Vince is out town. We enjoyed seeing you this morning, Vince!!!! Mary, as usual, please call if you need anything....

Last but certainly not least, we need to keep up our prayers for Leah Magid. Her father passed away just over a week ago. Pray for Leah and her family during this time of mourning. We are praying for you, Leah!

Here is the information about Matt & Beth's meal calendar. Please pass along this information to anyone you think may want to help them out in this way. I know we all can't wait to meet Levi!!!! So thankful he and mom are doing well...Let me know if you have any questions!

I think that takes care of matters for this week, everyone. I hope all of you have a great week. Carrie Underwood just got done, so I think that means the Superbowl is about to begin! Enjoy it, folks.

Look forward to seeing you next Sunday morning.
