I always thought you were both the very best cheerleaders ever – you waited until I was out of sight before the hand wringing began (or so I imagined) I work to give this to my own family, friends, actually anyone really.

The convertable is wonderful – I remember going for ice cream, or going to Lincoln, or driving it 50 miles an hour around corners as I learned to drive. I’m glad Dad coaxed you out.

Peace, Heidi

I am not certain as to whether or not it is customary for men to respond to a blog such as yours. However, we are both members of the human Christian family and so I dare to do so.

Connie, you are a most notable example of how faith sustains humanity in difficult times. You seem to have such a complete grasp of what it means to confront human adversity with “a faith that will not shrink.” We want you to know that we are enriched by your faith witness and that you are in our daily prayers as you seek God’s will for your life.

Blessings and Peace!

It is always good to hear from you again, after a series of injections, to know that you are ok and improving again. How thankful for each bit of renewal.

Your descriptions of spring in Nebraska are such that I can imagine being there. Our flowers are beginning to provide color and not just green! Especially abundant are the butter cups and wild daisies! Having not been here in June before, the vegetation on the hill is a mystery for me. I’m never sure what will show up!

God continue to grant you strength and renewed spirit! And to Charles, RAH RAH! Thanks for all you do too! What a priceless gift to Connie!

Love, Irene
