Here’s another birthday and Tyler couldn’t be more excited. He got to do some of his celebrating yesterday, got his presents, since they will be involved in the wrestling tournament all day today with Ryan…we’re rooting for you, Ryan.  Tyler is having a sleepover on the 13th to wrap up his birthday celebration and that will be a lot of fun…very restful for his family, I’m sure.  Happy 9th birthday, Tyler. I love you and sorry we never get to share our birthday celebrations. Maybe we ought to do it at the 1/2 mark?
I have a prayer request for all of you. Our friends from Kansas called this morning and they will be flying to Iowa on Monday morning to be with Jean’s daughter. Her husband, Doug, is in critical condition with a staph infection in both lungs and they are all extremely concerned. The doctor’s originally thought he had pneumonia but nothing was helping him and they couldn’t determine why. They stat flighted him to DeMoine over a week ago and he’s still not responding well. He, along with the family, need everyone to pray for healing. He’s only 39.
Today is another beautiful, warm day and we’re going to spend it doing some volunteer work at the church we attend here. Several years ago a child was abducted, murdered, and left on the church property. Since that time they have done a “Safety” day to help educate the children, and their parents, how to be safe.  This event has taken on a life of it’s own with many vendors and participants wanting to help…therefore, volunteers are needed. We’re looking forward to helping.
Again, Happy 9th Birthday, Tyler. You’re special and I hope you have many more special days.
Blessings………
