Got a phone call about an hour and a half ago from my parents in Pennsylvania and already plans are in motion that could use a good prayer-covering.

My Mom’s mother, Grandma Miller, had another major heart attack this afternoon as she was preparing with my Grandfather to move in with my parents for a 2-week trial run of living under their roof at their new home in Middleburg. Grandma Miller has had a LOT of heart trouble these last few years with things getting worse each time she would have an episode. The doctors have done as much as they can and are certain that Grandma’s time here is short.

As of right now, Sherilyn will be heading here tomorrow morning and the new Sheets van will get loaded up and head Eastward by Noon.

We will meet up with Mom and Dad at their home and then on to Allentown as soon as Monday morning to be with Grandma Miller who, as of yet, has not met her newest Great-Granddaughter, Ella.

Please pray for these and many other details that are surrounding this situation. Sherilyn is giving up some much-needed jobs in Chicago this week to make this trip and Jess and I aren’t exactly where we need to be to make a trip like this ourselves. We know, though, that we serve One who is able to take care of EVERY aspect of our lives – including an emergency trip to Pennsylvania to be with our family during uncertain times.

So please pray for us, my “Internet family”. We’ll try and keep you updated as much as possible.

I now have a facebook!

Tonight we had the privilege of Gale Richmond, our new IWU Admissions Representative coming and joining the festivities at theBOX. He was a great sport with an off-the-cuff personal interview in front of the students as well as partaking in one of our “IMPROV @ theBOX” games where he narrated the life of one of our sponsors, Marc Ulrich! Good times were had by all!

Afterwards, Jess and I were able to enjoy his company across the table at Applebee’s until almost 11:30! It was great reminiscing about old times at IWU and hearing about Gale’s testimony and all that he has done already in his lifetime.

Thanks, Gale, for a great evening of fellowship and friendship!

Tomorrow is “chore” day. Too many hours will be spent waiting in line at Wal-Mart for an oil change, Great Clips for a haircut, and the BMV to get the van registered in our names. Thankfully we’ll end the evening with dinner at the French’s and then home for Survivor & CSI – our “Thursday shows”.
