October 31st

Well, a good day and a bad day. Great results from our first Fall Family Fun night, not many kids, but a lots of fun and a ton of work from Shannon made it wonderful. One person reacting poorly made it difficult. Can't win sometimes. We're trying to do something worthwhile, but some folks can't move from old patterns. Meanwhile Jack continues to hold on to life, so trying to support everyone appropriately is a little hard. Tiring, too.
I need your help; I also pray for Jack and his family, asking you to take care of him and his daughters. It's hard for them to wait and not to be able to do anything for him. Still, they're being there with him and talking to him and loving him are what he needs, and they are meeting his needs in a truly Christ-like way. Thanks for their wonderful example of family and faithfulness.
