Bad news!

Well, when it seems things couldn't get a lot worse financially (with having to buy $90 worth of medication every week for Preston) Junior arrived home on Friday and pulled up to the garage. When I went out he was unloading his tools into the garage and I asked him why. He said, "Guess." I said, "You got laid off." The only problem is, we don't think he can draw unemployment, but he will find out for sure. So after Oct. 31st, we aren't sure if we will have any income, except for Preston's SSI and that doesn't go too far, but is better than nothing! Monday a.m. Jr. will be out looking for jobs. He and I may both have to work different hours at Walmart or somewhere. We will see what opens up for him. When Missie found out she said, "We won't have any money to buy Preston's medication." Bless her heart! Hopefully it will soon come in to the clinic! So that is the latest. It seems there are sooo many problems in life these days. It will be hard I think for him to get a good job due to the economy and the upcoming election. But God is able to work it all out.

Missie arrived home from youth challenge, and what a wonderful time she had and was spiritually refreshed. We are so thankful for the sacrifices of our church to take our youth there and back in that big bus! Thanks to Kevin Wilhelm for driving them, and Travis and Jody for helping to watch over them, and being there as well. It was a privilege for her to be able to attend. Preston and I watched the service last night, and saw Missie up there singing in the choir, and we enjoyed that. I told Jr. if we have to eat bread and drink water, it is worth it to see her so involved and happy! She has gained a lot of ground emotionally, and spiritually. And that is the reason we are here in IN, for her! And God has blessed her tremendously, so we just have to trust Him to take care of us.

So wanted to tell you all the latest.
