Hello and Peace (Shalom) to you all -
Thank you for thinking of us and coming to check on us here. We are all doing pretty well, although Al has gotten quite a cold and sore throat the last few days so he hasn't seemed himself. But we know it will pass as all things do.
Grandma has been busy planting flowers all over the place and has made a new friend down the street - Ms. Mary. Keep Ms. Mary in your prayers. I have been wrapping up the substituting for this year since summer is upon us. Pray that I will find something to do this summer to help us pay our bills. I have been busy at our congregation as well with the music ministry and the children's ministry. Keep our growing community in your prayers - we are literally popping at the seams as our community grows and our space shrinks. We do need a new building. Also, PLEASE BEGIN TO PRAY for a special ministry which could take place next summer under the L-rd's leadership and my surrender to Him.

Well, there is nothing new under the sun. Jobs are going great, and grandma's food continues to fill the belly to the MAX! :o) Honestly, we are doing fine and just chugging along. We do miss our friends and family that seem to be more scattered than mice on a boat deck. (if you know Rachel, you know why that was the first idea that came to mind as a comparison.)

Keep us in your prayers. We do need them.
love to you all.
