Update on the Swindlers

Hey all ~
 
I was able to see Shannon this morning and it was such a relief to my heart.  She was pale and tired, but in good spirits.  She was also able to hold a long term coherent conversation, which she admitted was a first for her since being in the hospital. 
 
As far as Shannan's health is concerned, she's not out of the woods yet.  I talked to one of her Dr.s this am and there are still some issues with her blood cells hemolysing (bursting) and her kidney function is not where it needs

Emily Yasson is Home with the Lord

Over the last few months I've put notices out concerning a family in Vancouver. Emily Yasson was diagnosed with cervical cancer that had reached and advanced stage. Last night at about 8:30 PM Emily went home to be with the Lord. The great storm is over.She leaves a husband, Greg, a 10 year-old daughter, Emma, and Jacob, 6. Please pray for this family as they look toward a life quite different than they anticipated. Also, if you wish to encourage the Yasson family or to offer your condolances their address is GYasson@comcast.net.

Maes Family in Mexico

The Maes family (Southside Samaritan House)  left for Mexico Friday morning and arrived in Morelia at 4 am Saturday. They said they felt covered in prayer and would appreciate your continued prayers.


They got there and the "guest house" ended up not being available, so, they are staying with Jake and Charity in their modest house.


They slept in on Saturday til around noon. Made a trip to the market. Met the staff and kids in the orphanage. Then watched a movie with all of them.

Keep 'em Home - 41st Brigade Belongs in Oregon

I've gotten to the point that I can't remain silent any longer. Caleb and 3500 other Oregon National Guard soldiers are being deployed, many for the second time, to Iraq. I'm joining the Campaign to Keep the Oregon Guard in Oregon. The effort empowers the governor to withhold Oregon Guard units except under certain conditions.

The Sunday struggles...

It's been mumbled about, mentioned often enough I feel we must take some action.  But first, a question to the rest of the coop...

Making Melody

May the Spirit move you to speak one to another in hymns and spiritual songs!
