From Gloria in FL – I still have not found those VERY important papers. Please pray that I will soon be able to locate them.
From Beth in FL – Seems like things are pretty much as they were. No jobs for Kathy in Australia. Her son is back in college there. Praise God for the almost free education in Australia for persons born there. Kathy is a go-getter so someone has to recognize it and have a place for her. Rick works once or twice a week in the food/drink industry. He is going to lifeline/Bible study with his mother and I, and taking his children ages 3 & 5 to their classes. He has enrolled in the junior college for the fall so as to prepare for other roles. The Lord helps those that help themselves is a true adage. But his timing is not ours, so patience, dear Lord and help us to stretch the loaf much further. My health has a setback. My right hip has severe pain. I went to the doctor yesterday and he gave me a shot of cortisone. Not much better today. I’m counting on it working! Thanks for your prayers.
