Today's Update, March Madness, and Other Stuff...

Friends:

Good evening, all! Happy March. Is it here already?! Bring on March Madness, baby!!!

Let's start by saying a big welcome to Brandon and Carrie Marable. They visited our class this morning. We enjoyed having you, Carrie and Brandon! Come back and see us as soon as you can.

PRAYERS AND PRAISES

Let's jump right to our prayers and praises this week. I would like to start out by saying a big thank you Bernie Hookham! She hosted the Ladies Night Out event last Friday. Rumor has it that everything went very well. Thanks so much, Bernie!!!!! We appreciate you doing this for our class. I'm sure the March version of Ladies Night Out will be in the works soon.

As for our prayers, we need to start out by saying a prayer for little Everett Escobar. Kirsten was home sick with him today. We're praying for him, Kirsten!

Next, as those of you who were in class this morning know, I asked everyone to pray for my friends Zach and Rebecca Beaty. They live in Chile and were camping outside of Santiago when the earthquake hit. We just learned this afternoon that Zach and Rebecca are safe and doing just fine! Great news there, of course. They most likely won't have electricity and water for some time, but they are safe. Thank you for your prayers for Zach and Rebecca and everyone else who has been affected by the earthquake.

Greg H. has asked that we pray for Duane Clark and his family. Duane's grandmother is not doing well. Pray that she will be comforted by her friends and family.

Let's keep praying for little Reese Nicholson. I believe they are headed into the home stretch for Reese's treatments. Pray that Brian, Amy, and the rest of the Nicholson crew will remain strong all the way to the finish line!

We also need to keep praying for Steve R. His treatments are going well. Pray for his safe travel to Houston and back.

Lots of people will be traveling next weekend. Us Nulls leave for Disney World on Saturday (woohoo!). The Hudsons are headed to Colorado for a week of skiing, the Hookhams are off to New Mexico for skiing, and Willards are off to Cozumel for their honeymoon! Pray for safe travel for everyone!

----------------

As I mentioned, us Nulls will be gone next Sunday. We will be back in town for Sunday, March 14th. Next Sunday, Carey Pryal has agreed to lead the class by telling everyone about her mission trip to Haiti. As some of you know, Carey has been making her way around to the various classes to tell about her experiences in Haiti. Thank you so much, Carey, for teaching the class next week! I appreciate it very much.

Have a great week, everyone!
