Sabbatical

Kevin was scheduled to go on sabbatical for three weeks on December 17th, however things changed very quickly... Because of several things, to include the bad weather, the December 20th services could not be held. Sunday services on the 27th were held, but further bad news would follow. Our best friends' daughter was in a horrific automobile wreck and we didn’t think she would survive. At that same time, Jessica, our eldest child was to be married. And in addition to all that, another friend’s mother had died and Kevin was asked to help conduct the funeral services. Of course he said "yes" - as he always does. Then, on New Year’s Eve, another surprise hit us right between the eyes. We were stunned to get a frantic call from Lynn’s mom at 12:55 in the morning. She had fallen and couldn’t get up. We rushed over to her house to find the EMS personnel already there. After her admission to the hospital, we discovered that she had broken her hip and needed surgery ASAP. Thanks to God, she was assigned a WONDERFUL surgeon and an incredible nursing team. She came thru surgery like a champion. The crew also told us that she had clearly told the medical personnel – “I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THIS! I’VE GOT TOO MUCH TO DO TODAY!”

Hopefully things will continue to improve for the rest of our year.... We covet your prayers. Love,

Lynn and Kevin
