Hi friends,

We are headed out in the morning for a family day in Forest, MS, Sunday and an UPWARD Awards night on Monday.  Looking forward to seeing what God is going to do.

Patty made it home Wednesday night after a 21 day road trip to be with her dad and get him settled.  Of course, I was back and forth some of that time but she was there the whole time.  She is trying to get back in the swing of things here but is having a fair amount of difficulty switching gears.  I encouraged her to stay home this weekend and continue things here for there are many things (bookkeeping and all) that need her attention but she really wants to go so she will be with me in the morning when I pull out.

Her dad hasn’t had the best of days today, in fact the last few days.  I think the place is getting a bit old…actually not being in his own home is getting a bit old.  The place he’s living right now is very nice but “there’s no place like home”.  He’s down so we’re trying to keep his spirits up as best we can from here.  We are not scheduled back through there for a couple of weeks but Patty’s brother is headed in the 1st of March.  We would appreciate your prayers just for the Lord to comfort his spirit and Patty’s too, actually.

Thank you friends.  We appreciate you checking in on us and keeping up.

Blessings,
John
