......and AFTER

Big Dave

God's been using Dave in his church as a youth worker. Recently he told me that the knickname some of them have for him is "BIG DAVE". I think that works! Kids just gravitate to him, can you blame them.


He's not too bad a big brother too!

Anybody want to buy a truck?

Josh is selling his truck. He's had several nibbles but no bites. He's put in a lot of work to get it working well and would like to sell it before they go to Missouri. So if anyone knows anyone...... :-)

Up date on Aunt Chris

Sweet Aunt Chris has been through a great deal in the past few weeks. She was able to have a pace maker put in and that made a lot of difference. But she was so weak from everything that her body's been through, not to mention just being in bed for so long, that she had no strength whatever. So now she is in physical therapy and really working out several times a day. Last I heard she was finally able to walk a few steps at a time without the walker. That is amazing! So everyone keep praying for her.

Pray for Aunt Chris

Papa has been down in NC for over a week now supporting his brother, Tommy, who's wife, Chris has been seriously ill with heart problems. She's in Willmington hospital and has had a pace maker put in. This seems to help but she is not out of the woods yet. I know they both would appreciate prayer.

Back on the Market AGAIN!

Well, the folks who put a contract panicked when the inspector used the "asbestos" word. Many old homes have asbestos in them and this one does but it is totally wrapped and in the attic. But with all the hype about it a first time buyer seems to be a bit nervous. The inspector was super picky even suggesting that all the windows be replaced (27 of them). That just isn't happening. The price they are asking is such a steal that any improvements should be up to the buyer. It is in super nice condition. SOOOO, please pray that the right buyer will come along soon. We have been packing up the house and have left just the downstairs decorated. Just the stuff they are using is out and most of the kitchen is still needing packing. The attic is empty and all the "stuff" is neatly in plastic bins in the garage ready to go to the storage facility. We have a good deal of stuff for a nice garage sale in a month or so. That's all in my shed since they will have it here.

Josh, Mel and the girls are in Ohio for the weekend speaking at the church of our former youth pastor, Steve. Pray that there will be some folks there who may get on their team as they prepare to leave for the New Tribes training center in August.
