From my next door neighbor, when I lived in Henry.

Dear Everybody: I received this from Joan this morning.

I plan on seeing Frank, as he's so close to me, in Peoria. One of Joan's sons is now with her, helping her.

I am healthy again. At least, not ailing from what ailed me last week. It'll be 40 today, so that should melt a lot of snow.

Looking forward to seeing all of you tomorrow. The Lord be with you & keep you safe. -----------------------Pastor Mike

Frank and I were in a car accident the car is totaled and we are pretty banged up but it could’ve been worse. I am currently at home bruised and sore using a walker until my legs feel strong enough and Frank is currently in the Peoria Hospital. that’s where the bone doctor is because they said he had a broken hip however praise God he does not have to have hip surgery only physical therapy they want to do a pacemaker insertion probably next week sometime so will let you know the updates thanks for your prayers

Are we old? Some suggested signs:

As one generation gives way to the next, you may find yourself looking in the mirror and wondering, "Hey, am I old now?"

Dear Brethren: I called Robert after yesterday's service, & he is in mourning. His step-mother passed away last week. This is her obit: https://www.alwaysfaithfulmemorialservices.com/obituaries/Dawn-Vicich/ #!/Obituary

Let's be in prayer for Robert, for the Lord's comfort, & for all of the logistics that come with the loss of a relative. (E.g. travel safety, time off from work, getting needful rest, etc.) -------Pastor Mike
