April 2023 Update

We are go for my surgery tomorrow, so, again, thanks for praying for me!  Hopefully, when I write next month, I’ll be able to tell you about the success and quick recovery.

 

Now back to the news of the past month.

 

On March 18, my son-in-law, Bernie (Abigail’s husband) and I participated in a Euchre tournament our church ran.  We had a good time and finished above the middle of the 40 or so teams, so that was good.  I hope we can do this again sometime!

 

We enjoyed Easter with all the local families and tons of great food.  The resurrection of Jesus is what separates Christianity from all other world religions.  We serve a risen God!

 

Finally, this past Friday night, Zach, Jem, the Mickles and myself went to see Tim Hawkins perform.  It was at The Chapel in Getzville, NY, which is a very big church.  Our church is big and holds about 1200 people.  This one I would guess holds closer to 2000 people.  It wasn’t full but there weren’t a lot of empty seats.

 

Anyway, Tim was hilarious as usual.  If you want a taste of the fun we had, you can check out his videos on YouTube or his website.

 

Waiting for Tim to make us laugh

Thanks again for your prayers, and we’ll talk next month.

No, there really wasn't a lion in the backyard with the grandkids. April Fool!

--------------------

I’m using the excuse that I was very focused on my surgery, but I forgot a major event of the month.

 

Zach moved back home from Kentucky!  He got here just before Easter.  He had been there almost a year and enjoyed (mostly) working at UPS with Cai and later Amelia.  He was able to get a job with UPS here doing about the same things he had done there, and he’s adjusting to living back at home.  We are very glad he’s here!

 

Also, my surgery went well, and I thank you all for your prayers.  I am home recovering now and feeling pretty good.  The pain meds help me feel comfortable most of the time, but coughing hurts a lot.  Thanks for continued prayers too!
