Good News

Hello friends and family. I have good news to share with you this afternoon. Just about an hour ago, we received word from the hospital that they are simply waiting for a private room to open up in the hospital so they can move dad out of ICU! Obviously, this is a wonderful answer to all of our prayers. We have more to share about what's taken place today, but I need a few minutes to complete another writing assignment-- I'm writing a brief letter from our family thanking the members of the ASPE team and convention for their help on-site this week. Give me a little while to complete that piece and I'll update you on the other activities of the day.

Thank you for your continued prayers! Praise God for the wonderful way in which He is demonstrating his Love and power through this situation!

  3. Uncle Norman, we think about you all day. I'm so thankful you had good friends with you at the convention, to take care of you until Aunt Brenda, Betty, and "the kids" got there. I'm glad you were re-elected to your board position-way to go! But mostly I'm thankful to hear you are feeling better and moving out of ICU. We love you and pray for you-Jennifer (and Jeff)

  4. Hi Jon,

    Ron sent this blog link out around the office and I just thought I'd drop a line to let you know that I'm praying for you and your family. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help Melinda out on this end. I'm more than happy to help in any way I can.

  5. What great news......not only do you get re-elected to the executive board, but now you get a private room! I wish it were an executive sweet in some glorious hotel instead of a private room in a hospital!!! But we will take that over ICU anyday!! :) Uncle Norman, you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers! We love you so very much! Aunt Brenda, Jon, Cassie, and Nana - we are praying for you all as well and send all our love from GA! Let us know if there is anything we can do for you! We love you, Daniel, Jessica, Joshua, Caleb, and Jackson
