Hi, ladies! This blog is like checks some people write--post dated! I'm actually writing this on Saturday evening but will send it out on Sunday. I will be out of town for several days beginning on Sunday afternoon. After two years of waiting, our son will be on trial Monday through Wednesday. Many of you know the circumstances involved. For those of you who don't, he did something wrong, but not nearly what he's been accused of. He has already paid a heavy, heavy price, and we're praying that he will find mercy in court this week. Whatever the outcome, I give my son into God's hands, knowing that that is the best place he can possibly be. As I look back over the events of these past two years I can see that the Lord has changed me from the inside out. I'm not the same woman I was going into this situation. I've learned to allow God more freedom in teaching me how to love and trust under some very difficult circumstances. It has definitely deepened my Christian walk. Please, as you think of us during this week, pray for me and John, and our son Mark. The prayers of so many of you have really ministered to me.
We've had a fun turn out for the Zumba classes. Janet has most ablely stepped up to take the lead when I've had to be gone, as she will this coming week. I've heard really good reports from some of the women who have been coming and are already seeing results. You might want to get out your tape measurer and write down some of those important measurements to track your progress. So remember Zumba on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8 AM.
We're headed into our last lesson, session four, of our Loving Well study. Our times of discussion have really been precious. Please join in this final study either this Thursday at 10 AM or the following Wednesday at 6:30 PM.
I've got to finish getting packed, so will bring this to a close. Thanks for blessing my life.

We'll continue to pray for Mark and that truth will prevail. Please pray for our protection and safety as a family. We leave today for a trip around the Gorge & Eagle Creek trail. Our plans for central Oregon changed since there's still so much snow there. We should be back around Thursday and as usual, I'm over prepared! I need to lighten my load. It will be like the olden days with no internet & electronics!
