I have been reading your website and am astounded by your courage, strength, and candor. We have so missed your smile at church. I missed last Sunday as I was ill with a short virus and just missing one Sunday of all the kids and teachers was difficult! I hope that some of the teachers will be able to contact you via your website.

This Sunday is Ascension Day with the white altar cloths. The children will be experimenting with spraying water onto their chalk drawings and seeing what transpires. Some of the kids will be bringing school supplies for the Ghana drive. Ashlee White Rowlee will be taking the supplies later to Ghana on her trip. Gina Kilzer has gladly filled in for your 1st grade class although I know she really enjoyed working with you.

I too have a new puppy–Lilli. A few weeks ago I was down and missing our old dog, Chip, who we lost last June. I went to the pound for a little dog therapy and on the way thought that, if I got a dog, it would be a dachsund. Well, there wasn’t a dachsund there, which was ok because I wasn’t sure I should get another dog. As I was leaving, a large man came in the door, carrying under his arm the cutest little dachsund ever, which he was giving up for adoption. God sent me a joy on four legs! She is a handfull but she has brought all of us much joy. No wonder dog is “God” backwards–all that unconditional love!

I’ll try to write again before too long. Know that you and your family are in my prayers. Beth White

I also read some of your earlier posts–I surely don’t know many people who use the word “cosseted.” Thanks for continuing to share your wit and humor and to show the rest of us how one lives gracefully in the face of fear! We will pray for continued good news.

Pat

Been meaning to call you since, but, as with Ascension Day vows, my dialing finger just doesn’t seem to work!

You are in my prayers.

I’ve always felt that it was imporant for us, as Christians, to be open and transparent and I appreciate your openness and transparency about your illness.

Although I’m a white boy with approximately zero rhythm, but with a willing heart, I did do a little dance just for you…and to glorify the Lord!

God’s blessings…Jesus loves you…and so do I!…Tom

I’m very happy to hear it. I won’t be dancing, however. I don’t know how to do that and don’t want to cause a setback. Thanks for your wonderful writing, in addition to the good news.

Jerry
