As time goes on

We've been pretty busy.  It's been good, though.  And really good to get to see so many people.  A week ago, our oldest daughter ended up in the emergency room in Alabama, where she lives.  It was a very serious infection on the upper thigh.  She had a high fever and was really discouraged.  But we talked to her before she went in, talked to her as she was going, and talked to her in the emergency room, so we were with her, sort of, through it all.  Then Sunday morning, they operated.  It was quite a huge hole left after they removed the infection.  This week has been hard on her and she's been having a lot of ups and downs.  Then yesterday, the surgeon told her she was heading back in to the operating room today.  The infection had not cleared up at all, and they had to remove more of the fleshy part of her leg.  She is still very discouraged and is upset because she will not be out of the hospital for her son's graduation.  Please keep her in prayer.  She needs all the emotional, and spiritual help we can give.

Tomorrow we leave for Milwaukee to get a flight on Sunday to head down to be with her.  We had originally planned this for the graduation, but it's more than that now.  We'll spend all of our time, except for the graduation, with her.  With the crazy weather in that area, keep us in prayer as we fly there.  Pray for the people in that area, too.  

So much is going on all over the world right now.  We can see the Bible being brought to life in all we are seeing.  God has prepared us for what is to come and we are so thankful He is with us through all of this.  We pray you are at the place where you can depend on the Lord to see you through all that is to come in the future.  He IS our hope and salvation and we praise Him for all He has done, IS doing and will continue to do for us.  We also pray you have that same confidence.  If not, you CAN!!  Let us know how to pray for you!  Keep your hand in His Hand, and walk with Him.  God Bless!!!!
