Pray Request

***We would appreciate if everyone will pray for Rodney's Mom Judy. She will be have surgery on Thursday for ovarian cancer. We will know more on Thursday.

***Our friends the Whitley's 6 yr old little boy Corbin is in Cook's Childrens Hospital with Neumonia. He is a sick little boy but improving daily.

***My friend Christin's grandaddy had a really bad heart attack last week and is recuperating in the hospital. He had five bypasses.

We know God is faithful to us and will get us through these struggles.

As the Teenage World Turns



Chelsea is very busy and very much so a teenager. She is doing well in school making all A's & B's. She recently tried out for drill team captain and made it. Sixteen girls tried out and only 8 made it. She was very proud of herself and so are we, she worked very hard. Recently Chelsea had her first paid babysitting job for a 6 & 9 year old. She was so excited and did a wonderful job. Chelsea is participated in Leadership Training for Christ
in April. She had a great season in basketball and now practicing track. She loves to brag on her muscles in her calves she has developed this year. It is hard to believe she will be in 8th grade next year. Chelsea loves hanging out with her friends and playing with Ruthie. She is such a good big sister to Ruthie. She helps out Rodney and I out tons. Of course it is not always with a smile on her face but she does it. We are very proud of the responsible young lady she has become.

What's New in Ruthie's World

Ruthie continues to grow and learn new things. About a month ago she crawled out of her baby bed. Chelsea was getting ready for school and we heard knocking from Ruthie's room, I opened the door and there she was. I accidentally knocked her over not expecting her to at the door. Ruthie has learned to sleep in a big bed now. She sings her ABC's, Bible class songs, loves to look at books and to dance. The other morning when Chelsea was getting out of the Suburban for school Ruthie says, "Selsea I uv ooo". Chelsea and I looked at each other like, did she just say what I think she said? She looks forward to Chelsea and Daddy coming home, the back door opens and she takes off running to see who it is. Ruthie broke our keyboard and mouse a while back and now she has a new toy. She sets up her keyboard and mouse by the fireplace and types away. She also loves playing in the playhouse Daddy made out of a cardboard box. Ruthie stays busy and obviously keeps us busy. She is almost 18 months old. She is such a blessing.

Isaiah 43:2

When you pass through the waters

I will be with you:

and when you pass through the rivers,

they will not sweep over you.

When you walk through the fire,

you will not be burned;

the flames will not set you abaze.
