Holy Week Update and other news......

Dear Friends:

Good evening, all! Well, for you Bears fans, let's look at it this way. It was the best men's season in Baylor history. There is certainly nothing to be ashamed of about that. Secondly, now we get to yell for the Lady Bears tomorrow night! What an exciting time to be a Baylor basketball fan. I remember just a few years ago when I thought Coach Drew was going to be forced to put me in for lack of scholarships!

As for class business, let's start by thanking Kirsten E. for bringing our goodies today. We appreciate you, Kirsten! Next week, Jennifer and Steven Owens will be taking care of us. I hope you can still do it, Jennifer! I realize it's Easter next Sunday and things might be different for lots of folks (including you guys). If you can't do it, just let me know!

PRAYERS AND PRAISES

As for prayers, tomorrow is a big day for the Nicholsons! Reese goes in for her final treatment tomorrow morning. Praise God for that! The rough news is that she will have to be admitted to the hospital since her last few treatments have been hard on her. But, the hospital stay is only precautionary. Let's praise God for the strong character that Reese has shown during this journey, and let's also pray that everything will go well for this final treatment! The conclusion of this chapter is close, Brian and Amy!

We need to pray for little Everett, Kirsten and Shane's son. They had to take him to the ER recently because, once again, he is dealing with allergy induced asthma. Please pray for him to feel better soon. Pray also for Kirsten and Shane as they try and find ways to help Everett feel better. Hang in there, guys!

Next, I'd like for all of us to say a prayer for a safe trip home for everyone who is returning from Houston tonight after the big game.

Next, from what I understand, Steve Ramsdell is nearing the end of his treatments in Houston. Let's pray that everything will wrap up well for Steve and that he will be able to put this battle behind him very soon.

Last but certainly not least, let's pray for the Joe Cox family as they make a move back to North Carolina. Joe will be taking on an exciting new opportunity there. Praise God for the great work that Joe and Marianne have done while they have been here! Let's pray that everything will go well for the Cox family during this time of transition.

----------

I think that's all for now, folks. Let's work hard this week to prepare our hearts and minds for the significance of the Holy Week that is upon us.

Have a great week, folks.

Wes
