We would appreciate your prayers as we travel. Leaving today for SC for the funeral and then on the TN and OH and returning home on sunday. It looks like a big week all the miles that will be traveled and the tears that will be shed.

 I hope and pray the twins will be angels in their carseats. I have enough books and food along they should not be bored. Sounds like we might get into some snowy weather. I do not like driving on snowy roads. Blessings to each and everyone.

Tonight there will be seven children going to bed without Daddy kissing their cheeks and saying I love you, and a wife who doesn't a husband to kiss her and tell her how beautiful she is and how much he loves her. Please pray for Connie and the seven children. Tinslie is 14 and beautiful teenager and Caroline was her Daddy's girl. Nate loved his children and he would brag about his girls and how they could run the house without their parents and his boys were his shadow. They loved their daddy. This morning Nate passed away. My heart aches for them and I've been teary-eyed all day. We don't understand God's ways but His ways are perfect. Nate had heart trouble and there has been a few times we thought he was close to death but God had other plans. Yesterday Nate took his students to a skating rink  and he wasn't on the ice very long and fell down, he sat up and was mumbling and his students thought he was being funny. (those of us that know Nate, he could be crazy and there was never a dull moment when he was around) but then one of the boys noticed he was really sweating. He had a brain aneurysm. They don't know if thats why he fell or if the fall caused it. These details are from someone else so if I'm wrong correct me. Nate was my co-teacher at Cross Hill. We had lots of good times and memories. Connie is a beautiful women and has a heart of gold, she would do anything for a person and is a wonderful mother and wife. Please pray that God would be near them and they would feel His arms around them. The youngest is 10 months and the oldest 14.
