I happened upon your website when I actually first discovered Charles’ through the Concordia Faculty directory. I will share my most heartfelt wishes for God’s blessed peace and srength to you both via this blog, since I chose to read yours first (sorry, Charles! :)

I did not know of your diagnosis until reading the information located herein. David Held did tell me last summer when I was in Seward for whirl-wind graduate classes (!) that you were ill. Please know that you both will continue to be uplifted in prayer by your brothers and sisters in Christ on the west coast!

Thank you for your beautiful, eloquent writing, and that wonderful sense of humor that still shines forth. (I especially loved the story about saintly Charles and the vinegar :) I look forward to reading more now that I know where to find you both –

God’s richest blessings be yours,
Pam

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: They are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Marcel Proust (1871 – 1922)

I think you have yourself a very charming gardener – cute too!

I’m so happy to know that you and Charles are now “computer literate” again. Ah, the wonders of technology! I’m sure you had a great visit with John-paul!

Spring time in west Michigan is starting to become more beautiful and fragrant – with the fruit trees beginning to blossom. The fruit growers will probably hold their breath another week or so…until the chances of a damaging frost are past. Earlier some of the cherry, peach, and plum trees, that were in bloom, have lost their blossoms and potential for fruit this year. The apple trees are a little later so may be ok.

As with your taste buds, well, now you are among most of us who have to “resort” to cooking by a recipe, rather than taste! I have a hunch, however, that Charles can still be a fine taste tester for you!
Blessings to you this weekend as you enjoy the marvels of new life in spring!

Joy in Jesus,
Irene
