Dear Friends and Family,
(Carlene....)I have three windows to my right as I'm resting on a comfy couch, and the sun is brightly shining. It is a good day.Darrell and I are in Minneapolis at our son's home where he is being nursed back to health. We received news while visiting Darrell's sister in Napperville, Ill that Nate was on the road July 3rd when a car with 3 drunk passengers spun out of control and crossed over into oncoming traffic. Nate was hit head on. Fortunately, seat belts were in use, the air bag deployed, and he was not severely injured. He underwent 2 surgeries to repair tendons in his right knee and remove dashboard fragments. It was a tearful reunion with a thankful heart I kissed his warm face. We are thankful too, that all five people who were involved in the three-car collision are alive. One man is still suffering a back injury so please include him in yourprayers. Please pray for continued healing…also for all the details of insurances and lawyers as the driver had multiple DUIs. (Darrell)No parent wants to receive the news at 2 am their child was injured and trapped in his car...but the Lord was so near...right from the beginning. He spoke to me from John 10:...My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and theFather are one."Nate said he felt in the seconds following impact, the presence of the Lord and a peace which can only come from the Father. We are grateful...and thank you for your prayers. (Carlene)We celebrated Darrell's 50th birthday in Napperville, Ill at his sister's beautiful home where all four sibling's families gathered to eat, laugh, swim and watch Darrell open many humorous gifts and cards. Before we flew out to the Mid-West...Darrell and I were blessed to share with many friends and new acquaintances at San Juan Baptist Church in Port Townsend, Jim and Marie's Messianic fellowship, and Evergreen 4-Square church with Bruce Norquist, both in Tacoma. A memorable connection with Peter Yang, who is a South Korean missionary to North Korea and ministers to the children was unforgettable. We'll share more of his story later. Remember Worship at the River this Sunday July 10th@ 6PM in the Sam Cox BuildingGlenn Otto Community Park (1102 E. Historic Columbia River Hwy, Troutdale)This is the theme upon which the evening will be centered: Ps 27:44 One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. NIV
Bless you all....and remember to give your children a big hug.
