As much as I wish this were a sick April Fools joke, it is not. I just received word from my wife that her grandfather has been taken to the Emergency Room with what they believe might have been a heart attack. Yes, this is the same grandfather that saw his wife buried yesterday. Be praying for Nikki, myself, and her family. As with her grandmother we are not certain where her grandfather is with Jesus. He is Catholic (as was she). The question is always, how much is she trusting in Christ and how much is she trusting in Jesus plus.

A few months ago I had a prayer request for my wife. It was thought that she had a condition whereas she would be required to undergo a C-section to birth our child. At our doctor's appointment Wednesday we found out that everything had moved to where it needed to be. Looks like the bed rest helped and that we are experiencing God's great hand of mercy! We are thankful that the Lord has heard our prayers and that He has chosen to glorify Himself through a natural childbirth. We truly get far better than we deserve!
