Update on Nora

Nora is doing better, but is still, as of the writing of this post, in the hospital. I spoke with Andy today and he stated that she was feeling much better and upset that there wasn't anyone to play with her. Andy's a great dad and husband to Mandy. We love and appreciate him much. Suffice it to say that we are humbled by your prayers and friendship. Thanks to all for their outpouring of love. You have been used of God to touch our hearts.

The Travelers

Jonathan, Kristine and Niah flew to West Virginia to spend time at Inwood. They met with the church and had a great visit. My understanding is that they all endured the air travel well. We are praying for them as they travel, and as they present the work God has placed upon their hearts for Pennsylvania. We pray that they will find churches and individuals who will partner with them in their ministry to Washington, PA.

Praying for Nora and her Parents

Mandy called to let us know that they were taking Nora to the hospital. Andy had taken her to the doctor for a well physical she was scheduled for today. Nora was running a high fever and was very lethargic. They are running tests and have started her on medication. It appears she will spend at least tonight in the hospital in Evansville. Andy and Mandy will stay with her of course. We lift them all up before the Lord. Thanks to all the friends who have joined us in praying for Nora.

Bonding Time

It's a bit fuzzy, but I thought it was worth posting anyway. We were in Bloomington, Indiana for a wedding. Gwyn Hamrick, Mandy's Maid of Honor got married to Torrie Fodder. Nora's wearing a dress Mandy made from the remnant from her dress. The wedding was great, and we pray for the Bride and Groom. This picture was taken outside after the reception. We don't know why the picture was fuzzy, perhaps we were just tickled at the smile and couldn't contain ourselves. It was a great time of bonding with Nora. We took care of her while Mandy did her Matron of Honor thing for Gwyn. All in all it was a good weekend.

EBA Meeting

Pictured here is the first ever Indiana State Choir. LBC hosted this year's EBA meeting and it was a huge success. We had great fellowship and workshops as well as messages that encouraged and challenged us. I find that this meeting is one of the best associational meetings you can attend. I appreciate all the hard work on the part of the members of LBC who went above and beyond as hosts. The choir too was a big hit and we hope to be able to do something together again soon.

Cathy and I had the opportunity to go down to Terra Haute, Indiana and visit with Mandy, Nora and Cathy's sister, Beverly. The ladies shopped while I spent time with Nora. All in all it was a great time. This was taken at lunch. Nora slept, we ate. It was good to see everyone and spend some time with family. You can see the love Cathy has for Nora... two beautiful ladies!
