Wow, I can’t believe the 21st is already here!  I’m not sure where the time has gone, to tell you the truth.  Did I tell you that last Wednesday Patti and I drove to Knoxville to see my sweet friend Laura?  Her daughter, Emily, is Parker’s age and is just a beautiful soul! 



We were friends before we ever in school—that was a long time ago!  God’s kindness shows through in Laura’s life.  Please never cease praying for Laura, her daughter, and her parents, who take such good care of her!


  On Sunday, we went to dinner with some friends from church, and the boys stayed with their son, Thomas.  They had a great time playing!  Look at the face in the tree…isn’t that the neatest?



I pray that each of you reading this will take time to let God use you in someone else’s life today.  Spend a little of yourself on someone besides yourself.  It’s all too easy to get caught up in ourselves, isn’t it?  Someone needs you to spend some of yourself on them.  Where will God use you?
