Asking for special prayer

for Bro. Terry Going. He is once again coming to IN to preach Brent Bigger's funeral. The tragedy of this precious family; Brent, Patricia, and their children has been hard on him; he has known them for several years. Please pray for added strength from the Lord, and safe traveling mercies to and from IN. We love the Goings! We still call them "our pastor." And Bro. Mowery is "our pastor" too. We are doubly blessed to have had 2 pastors like these men. They are some of God's finest. Their wives are equally wonderful, as well.

An update on our family is in order I guess:

Junior started his 3rd week today at his new job. He likes it pretty well. He is working in the "decorative metal" dept. He works from 3:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. We are adjusting to this shift. I don't get out at all during the evenings now, not even to prayermeeting. I miss that. But if I need to run to town or something I do it in the mornings now.

Preston has had a cold, and is still battling it. He is feeling a bit better today. He has not had the influenza with the high fevers; we are thankful for that. Missie too is still blowing her nose. She gets so sick of it! I try to get her to take her vitamins and vitamin c, but unless I get it out, she forgets, so I am trying to help her with that. She is doing great in school. Friday night is the high school play. I know it will be good.

The kittens are getting so chubby and so cute! Kids are begging to keep them, giving us 5 cat? No way! We have to get the mom and Preston's cat fixed to prevent this from happening again!

So things are pretty good right now. Our church is praying about something exciting. I can't elaborate right now; but it is sooo exciting! We are all praying for God's perfect will in this situation.

Tomorrow is Brent's visitation and funeral in Terre Haute from 11-3. We are unable to attend, because of the distance, and Junior having to work. But please pray for his family, and friends. It will be a sad funeral I know. It is just so unbelievable that the entire family is gone, just since Christmas. You might think this is crazy, but I had the feeling there would be a tragedy before this actually happened. I thought it would be concerning us. But it was the Brent bigger family, and my heart aches.

That is all for today.
