I’ve been holding you in prayer, but haven’t felt the need to comment until today, when I roared with laughter at your words. You see, I’ve always maintained that when I get to heaven, I want to be a bass! I’ve been a first soprano most of my life, and it is indeed great fun sailing up to those high notes…but those quintessential bass lines are such a satisfying delight! So, enjoy the soprano lines you’ll be singing, but look for me in the bass section, where I plan to be booming out the bass line, grinning from ear to ear!

First, I must thank you again for sharing your journey. People seem to listen more closely to the testimonies of those who are in “the valley” – and your message stimulates the mind and touches the heart more deeply because you have such a gift of language.

May 12th will find the Huebschman family holding two people in prayer to our Lord – you, as you face the bone marrow “harvesting”, and our nephew Joshua. On the 12th Joshua, who is eleven, will be undergoing a procedure on his heart. It has a sort of electric circuit malfunction which causes it to sometimes race uncontrolably. These episodes leave him exhausted and have on a few occasions caused him to pass out. The procedure is intended to short-circut the faulty “wiring” and restore his heart to a normal beat.

It gives us comfort to place you and Joshua into the hands of our Creator God. May it give you peace and comfort as well.

With love and friendship,
Tim and Paula

Able to touch those granddaughters, not just see and/or hear about, able to go to a concert! Things are indeed looking up.
However, John-paul, pleeeaassee! Rush Limbaugh on the same page and in same condition as Connie? Heresy, surely!
God be with you, as I suppose as a Christian I must say, God be with Limbaugh as well. Ciao!

I was gone for the weekend – went to Saginaw to play the program, once again, at George’s church. The audience was filled with people that have had a part in my life…from my 2nd grade teacher to former bell choir members from Macomb. What a special day!

The people especially loved Charles’music and “What a Friend” popped up as a favorite, with several people talking to George later about when HE was going to play it…confirmation, funerals, whenever! He said, “Thanks, alot!” Now he has to learn it.

When I read about your past few days, I didn’t know what to say, except to continue to pray for you…one of those times when the Holy Spirit knows what to ask..with groans and sighs!

I rejoice that today was better for you. The visit from Janna will truly be a special one…Thank God for those special connnections of family.

Peace and JOY to you in Jesus,
Irene
