We were in Nebraska last weekend for a nephew’s wedding and experienced the HOT weather! We arrived home today to the same! However, no wind which makes the air stagnant…our A/C is trying to cool the house….

Alas, a minor diversion! We enjoyed seeing Ivan’s family and thought of the many times we would “travel” north to Seward to see you! Our spirits were there, although in body, we were in Elk Creek!

The final round of summer school begins in one week…so this week is one of gathering items for the one month stay and all the information for the paper on a special composer! Still much tweaking to do on it…there will be additions and corrections, to be sure!

I pray that you are able to rest and that your body will adjust to the last round of chemo so that you can enjoy (if that’s the correct word) the time of remission!

Peace and joy to you, Connie,
Irene

God has granted the gift of remission! We rejoice with you; we are so pleased for you! If we could, we would lead a thousand-poiece orchestra plus an organ or two in rousing choruses of “Thine the Amen, Thine the Praise” and the “Te Deum Laudamus” and then we would all be quiet and listen to Charles’ rousing organ rendition/variation of “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” (not the cloying, wimpy, romantic version found in the old [but not forgotten] Lutheran Hymnal). We give thanks to God for His unending mercy and goodness in all that He is doing for you. But we also give thanks to God for the strengthening word you have sent in our direction: your ministry to each other has become your ministry to all of us. God bless you! And He is doing that!
Claudia and Jim
