Happenings

So much has happened since my last post. Thursday evening I got a call from our Mexican family to ask for prayer for their cousin's family. Benji was killed in a car accident and they were on their way to the all night vigil. Benji was a newlywed and not a believer.

Currently I am in New York state staying with Robin's pastor as her mom's house doesn't have room for me. Friday morning Pastor Kathleen came into the room to tell me her 91 yr old mother had passed away during the night.

Then Saturday evening, I prayed on the phone with my dearest friend from college, Dee, as her younger brother lay dying of cancer. Not 30 minutes later she called again to say that Michael was with Jesus.

All I can say right now is WOW! I'm overwhelmed, sad, joyful and humbled. As I read the Word today I was again humbled that the God of the Universe loves us so much that he gave His Son for us that we might have hope in these situations.

I'm off to Arkansas tomorrow to see my sister and her two children and speak in a church in Kansas on Sunday. Robin is headed to Massachusetts with her mom and then to a different church here in New York. We will meet up again in Texas on May 20th and head to Mexico on the 21st. More about that later.

Thank you for standing in pray with me. Ask the Lord for comfort for these dear people.
