Not Wordless Wednesday

We have entirely too much going on to have "Wordless Wednesday" today.

1. PLEASE pray for my dad and my step-mom. While moving some equipment around on their property last weekend, their horse shelter came down ON my stepmom, Rindy. My dad got out but he had to get her out (which, by the way, he managed with the help of a pipe, some KICKIN' adrenaline and lots of angels) and get her to the ER. She has a broken collar bone, ribs, and shoulder blade and a shattered kneecap. She had surgery yesterday afternoon (which went well) to replace the knee cap with a 6 inch L-shaped metal plate and 8 screws (say it with me now: OUCHIE). There are MANY things that God has protected them from. This could have been FAR worse and we are so grateful it was not. However, Rindy has a long road ahead to recovery and my dad has a long road ahead of helping her, working full time and maintaining their property and horses and numerous other pets. Pray for them. AND...pray for their finances. They do not have medical insurance.

2. Mark has an interview today with the head track coach at the high school here in town. Competition for the position he's interviewing for is stiff but he's an awesome coach and I know they will see that in him. Please pray for blessing and success. He would love to coach there and we would love the extra dinero.

3. Andrew was (and continues to be) a very late talker and he is SO TOUGH to understand. Sometimes, Tori speaks more clearly than he does. One week from today (Nov. 19) we start weekly speech therapy appointments. Please pray for them to go well and for him to be successful and for Mark & I to learn OUR job in all of this.

Okay--off to clean and do more laundry!

Oh, you have so much going on. I will be thinking of your dad and his wife. What a very scary experience for them.

Haven't had much time to check in lately, but I hope your step-mom is doing okay. Thinking about you all.
