Grace Baptist Church/Ottawa, Il./South Haven, Mi.

Well, after a great week of Vacation Bible School and a nice 4th of July weekend with our kids it is back to work. Pastor Jim is working his handiwork in his office getting his airconditioning working, which meant replacing the old one, cutting a bigger hole in the block wall and doing some magic with calking and tools. It looks nice and even better, it feels good in there. He put a new unit in my office last week during the business of VBS and even put a glass window in where I can see out. Praise the Lord. I am no longer serving time in a dungeon. It is so nice up here. Now I just need to get busy. We also did some filing and organizing and so things are going a little smoother. Thank you for your prayers for our family. Jess and Rebecca are in China. Pray for their safety and God to use them and their efforts for his glory.

Hillary and Terry and Wyatt went to the emergency room Sunday night for Wyatt’s little nose bleeding constantly. Lois was helping watch the kids, so I am hoping she gets some R&R. Hillary watches the Wipple kids this week while their daddy is on vacation. Pray for her strength and healing from thrush. (Not fun!)

Tim, Seth, Andy and Andrea are a little sunburned after their day yesterday.

Glad to be home and now to catch up on my laundry.
