Some Guy Time w/Nathan


Friday night after the Maximum Man Conference (around 10:30PM) Nathan was able to join us at our motel just to hang for a while. It's the first time since December he's been able to be with a group of guys from NHC, so it was great for him and us to have some fellowship again.

He spent a lot of the time just answering questions about Tricia's transplant and how Gwyneth is doing. Lots of hugs and laughs, too, which I know was beneficial for him. He had planned to attend the conference with us, but the week's events changed his plans. So it was special that we could hook up, even if just for an hour or so.

Can't wait for their lives to get back to "normal" again.

Sounds like a wonderful time. Glad to hear that Nate was able to join ya'll. I am pleased he had some time to "recharge" his batteries too.

I'm glad that Nate was able to "relax" and enjoy for a little while.

God Bless

What an awesome blessing that was. I know he is wired right now. God is so good to provide a time of refreshing just when we need it.

How great that must have been for all of you! Once again, God's timing is perfect! :)
I'm remembering that today, especially. I would appreciate it if anyone who happens to read this would add our daughter-in-law, Krista, and her unborn daughter to your prayers today. Baby Girl is due one month from today, but she must have kicked extra hard at about 6:15 this morning because Mommy was wakened by the fact that her water broke. Brian and Krista are at the hospital now, and her mild contractions are now being augmented by a Pitocin drip. 35w5d is nothing compared to Gwyneth's arrival time...but still a bit earlier than we would have liked! Hope you don't mind that I "kidnapped" your space here, Rick. I just know that there are some pretty caring prayer warriors who read this, and I'm hoping to borrow just a few of them for a couple of minutes! Thanks!

It was wonderful to see Nate having some time for himself, difficult for him I am sure but a much needed time for refreshment.
(Please tell Marcia I am praying for her daughter in law and soon to be born grandbaby. She posted a prayer request above)
