"Dear Lord, please help other people to be more like me. Amen."

Even though Larry is having confusion and balance problems, He was able to make it to Easter Sunday services with the aid of a wheelchair we were able to borrow.  Even then, his confusion was such that he continued to try to get up and walk when nobody was watching and came close to falling. 

This past week has had a marked increase in confusion and decline in balance.  Three nights in a row, Larry tried to go to the bathroom without waking me up.  I would wake to the sound of Larry stumbling in the bathroom or falling on top of me (since he sleeps on the bathroom side of the bed, this was quite a feat!)  Last night he did fall into a laundry basket of clean clothes.  We are in the process now of moving his bed downstairs.  We hope this move will improve his safety since he has, on several occasions, made it down the stairs without anyone knowing and without his cane.  Needless to say, I am no longer sleeping until this move happens.

On a nice note, Larry and Alyssia have arrived home from Texas to spend this time with their dad.

Hi All,

For some of you this is a repeat that you have already received in email from me. Larry Warren is the preacher from antrim NH. He has terminal brain cancer. You can read what has gone on at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/larrywarren/mystory Larry and I graduated from SIBI together in 2006 and he went back to Antrim NH to preach. This is where he is from. this family needs all the prayers we can give them right now.

God bless,

Brothers and sisters, this is one of our alumni, Curtis Baker, writing to us about the church in Slaton.  There have been two congregations there for some years, but the Division Street congregation grew old and few and gave the building to the other group.  This is the grand opening.  Perhaps you would like to join them on April 11 at 3 p.m. for their moving in.  I’m planning to go.  Let’s encourage them if we can.

You are invited to the reopening of the Church of Christ in Slaton on April 11th.  It will be at 3pm.  There will be a worship service followed by a cookies and snacks afterward.  The address of the building is 340 W Division St.  It is on the corner of 11th and Division.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Happy New Year! Praise God for watching over us this past year. The Westside and Columbia Heights congregation have been working together to make a change in our local history. We are steadily moving one rock at a time. Step by step, we are improving and getting closer to our goal. Our goal is to build a strong, sound New Testament church of Christ that can worship in unity. The members of both congregations have been getting along together very well. We are worshiping together in harmony as one large body. We’ve been able to see that even when two very different groups get together to do God’s work, that we are not very different. With one common goal, no problem is too difficult to overcome.

Tent-making for support while we work with local congregation of 10 members.  Very few congregations in this area.  Most are surviving and dwindling in numbers.  Thank you for your continuous prayers in chapel for all who labor in the fields of evangelism.  To the work with the Christ and His Kingdom!

On Wedsnesday evening a good friend of mine who is the assoicate minister of the Eureka, CA church suffered a stroke. Please pray for Kerry Glavich and his wife MaryJean and the rest of the family. He is unable to speak but has some use of his right limbs. The obstruction was in the left carodit artery. He is currently in intensive care at St Joseph Hospital in Eureka. The doctors have him in a 48-hour watch to determine how to extend care for him since they do not know the exact time of the stroke or how it progress initally. The do not know what permanent damage has resulted.

Please put the Glavich family in your prayers and pass this request to all you know.
