I just want to say thank you for your prayers during this last couple of weeks. It has really been a trying time for our family and yet God has shown Himself sufficient.

Romans 2:6-15 He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.
