Take time in your schedule to pray for me. Yes, I said to pray for me! Why? I have four locations on my body that were biopsied for cancerous growth. Pray that I continue to keep my focus on Jesus. He is my Rock and Refuge! I want to make sure I practice what I preach. Trust in Christ each day is what I ask you to do when trials come into your lives. Pray that I do the same thing as I await the results.

Am I having fun with the junior and senior high in the Knox Youth Fellowship? You bet! I am greatly enjoying getting to know them and seeing them grow into God’s disciples. We are tackling some tough teenage subjects every week on Sunday evenings. David Hass is doing an awesome job helping us in worship and drawing us nearer to the “heart of worship, which is all about Jesus.” Small group leaders are great blessings to me and the kids. My thanks go out to Chris Kohl, Ronnie Flaherty, Andrew Thull, Becca Wagner, Barb Moore, Heather Schrotberger and Stacy Espinoza. They try to keep me under control and I do appreciate it!
