Really Nuts!

OK, I couldn't resist adding this in light of the previous post.

Last night Jennifer and I were upstairs putting Parker to bed (and praying!) when the phone rang.  We didn't rush to pick it up and a little time went by before we got back downstairs again.

The senior pastor of our church personally called to see how we were doing and ask if there was anything specific that they could pray for us about.  A few times a year, he and the other elders take an evening to call folks and find out how things are going and then pray for them.

I'm telling you, it's not normal to have so many people looking out for you spiritual well being.  But it is rather nice.

On a related note, I'm also missing our former church today.  I'd really come to enjoy planning and leading the Ash Wednesday service and our church doesn't have one.  We may get a sitter tonight and try and find one somewhere, but it won't be the same.  However, I am very proud to see Nate Conrad carrying on the tradition.

Patric and Jennifer,

If it is prayer with hugs you want. You know where to get them and I give out rainchecks. ;)
I am thankful the prayers you lift up.
