UPDATE: Later on February 16, just before noon, my grandmother took her final breath of this earthbound atmosphere and took her first breath of heavenly air in the presence of Jesus. I’m sure the reunion with her husband, son and grandson, among others, was sweet. And best of all, she finally heard those words, “Well done! Enter into my rest!”

My family and I could use your prayers at this time. My grandmother has been in declining health for the past few years, but recently her decline seem to have been speeding up. She is in her mid 90s, so this doesn’t come as any surprise, but it is still a difficult time for our family. Please be in prayer for us.

Because of this, things may be sporadic around here for the time being. I hope to be as consistent as I can be, but I expect to be in and out a lot more for the foreseeable near future.  Thanks for understanding.

And, so you know who you are praying for, here is a picture of my grandmother holding my youngest daughter.  Mercy is a newborn here, and she’s now three.  My grandmother loved being able to hold her just days after she was born.
