March Madness Update and Other Stuff

Friends:

Good afternoon, all! What an exciting weekend of basketball, not just for Baylor Bear fans but for everyone who likes college basketball! (Well, not exactly for everyone. You Kansas fans are toast! HA!) Seeing as how I picked Kentucky to win it all, my bracket's still alive. How about yours?!

Thanks to the Hudsons! They brought our goodies this morning. We appreciate it, Greg and Courtney! Next week, Kirsten and Shane are in charge. Thank you for taking care of us, guys!

PRAYERS AND PRAISES

Believe it or not, we don't have too many prayers this week. That's great news, of course!

The Ramseys have asked that we pray for their friend Trent and his family. Trent's son (also named Trent) died last weekend in a tragic rock climbing accident. Please pray for everyone who is grieving this difficult loss.

As usual, we need to keep praying for Reese Nicholson! The final treatment gets closer every week, Amy! We're praying for you guys.

Christina G. has asked that we pray for her cousin's son named Jack. He was recently diagnosed with a learning disability similar to autism. Please pray for Christina's cousin and her husband as they learn about this condition and find ways to help Jack.

Let's also keep praying for little Levi R. As infants do, he has been battling normal baby sicknesses. Pray for good nights and weeks for Levi and the Ramsdells. As they say Beth, the nights are long but the years are short!

I would like for us to pray for everyone who will be driving to Houston for the Baylor game this Friday. There are at least two Dads among us who have chosen to take it on the chin and NOT attend the Friday game so that we can take our little girls to the Daddy-Daughter Dance. This has got to be a true sacrifice for the little girls we love so much. But you can believe that I will be looking at tickets and a drive to Houston if the Bears are playing Duke on Sunday!

Last but not least, let's pray for our class as we search for someone to lead the class for a while. After talking with Steve R. and Wayne, Dana and I have decided to think about calling this change a one-year sabbatical, which means we might kick things off again around Easter of next year. We will just have to wait and see what's going on at that time. I appreciate all of the kind words that we have heard. We have decided that our last Sunday will be April 4th, which is Easter. Wayne and I continue to look for someone who may be interested in picking up the class on Sunday, April 11th. If you know of someone who is interested, please let me know.

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