Woodward's were here yesterday. Precious visits by many. Dad is still holding on. Thank you for prayers and concern. Superman is gonna fly away pretty soon. This was dad on the 5th of July celebrating with us. He didn't want to miss it !

The last 4 years have been VERY difficult. I became FULL TIME Pastor 4 years ago, after being a bi-vocational Pastor for 8 or 9 years. That wasn't easy either, let me tell ya!,... but what's made the last 4 years the MOST difficult for me has not been being a Pastor (although that can be pretty tough for sure). What's been super hard for me has been watching my parents decline. My mom went to heaven in May of 2024. My Dad is very close to heaven now. Im sorry I haven't been consistent enough in this group. Please forgive me. Pray for me. Pray for my Dad's gracious passage into glory very soon. Please list your prayer requests or unspokens here too. I promised Bob Riggins (who is also now in heaven) ,... I would keep the encouragement going. I need to keep that promise!
