Hello All,
We thought we would pass on information regarding some families that are in need that we have been thinking about and praying for lately. First off, the Lee, Crawford, and Boyd families were all devastated by the recent spat of tornadoes that ripped through the south. Mr. Phillips posted about them on his blog
here and
here. Peter Bradrick is running a website were you can donate directly to these families via their local church. The website is
http://www.bradrick.org/helpalfamilies/ . Also, Mrs.Crawford's website
http://www.generationcedar.com/main/ has posted mailing addresses so you can send things (notes, gifts, etc.) directly to them
here!
Secondly, we've been praying for the Holston family who we learned about on Daddy's SMM group. (A group of men who all went through Mr. Botkin's Saturday Morning Mentoring last year.) They have an adorable little baby boy named Endurance. Endurance was born with heart problems last year and we've been following his progress on their blog
http://www.run-with-endurance.blogspot.com/. All this time they have been living in Seattle, Washington but they have just moved to Columbus, Ohio! You can get all the details at their blog, but please pray for a smooth settling in for the family and for Endurance to do well in the hospital down there.
We've been doing pretty well here. Our sump pump failed and we got about an inch of water in part of our basement. That was a fun mess to clean up!! The perfect excuse to rearrange the Family room! Our other appliances have been giving us a rough time as well. Our laptop crashed with half of TJ's school work on it (we were thankfully able to recover the hard drive). We had to replace the dishwasher and a part on the dryer. A burner on the stove went out and was replaced just in time for the bottom element in the oven to make a dramatic exit (It began to spark, flame and melt while we were making dinner)! However... the leaves are on the trees, plants are going in the ground, seeds will soon be planted for the garden and hopefully everything will settle down soon. We hope all is well with all of you!
In Christ,
For the Family,
Tiffany
