Sorry this is late! I appreciate your prayers on my behalf.
1. Marks of Jesus – We’re going through the Gospel of Mark this summer – at least through chapter 5:20. Pray for my weekly preparation and that people would be drawn to Jesus and “marked” by His life.

I drove over to Defiance, Ohio today to be with my dad on his birthday. He turns 60 tomorrow. After I arrived we enjoyed some coffee at Cabin Fever. It’s not Starbucks, but it was good. I had the usual decaf. We had chicken from the grill, a baked potato, and broccoli for dinner. Very tasty! Dad made strawberry shortcake for [...]
