Say a prayer

Rick with Charli

My brother Ricky had a serious accident yesterday. While helping his brother-in-law repair a piece of equipment his foot became caught in the track of a cat tractor. It broke his heal bone and severed 3/4 of the way through the Achilles tendon shredding it, and took most of the skin from one side of the foot. After a 3 hour surgery they were able to repair most of the damage. They are worried about the skin dying around the heal where they had to try to stretch the skin back around it, because of not much blood flow to that area. They are also worried about infection. If you would please remember him in your prayer that all will heal well and he will have the use of his foot. Thank you everyone.

The Mermaid

Mckendrie's Relay Team

We spent this past Friday & Saturday at McKendrie's swim meet. My brother Ricky and his family were able to come to the meet and were kind enough let us stay the night with them. Thanks again for the hospitality!!

I got quite a kick out of my niece Charlie, We were all watching McKendrie swim when she turned to her mom and said " is she a mermaid?" Her mom told her to ask McKendrie, so after she was done with her event Charli and I went down to meet her and ask her if she was a mermaid. She told her she was a half mermaid and that her legs come back when she gets out of the water. She told me "take my picture with that half Mermaid."

It's so amazing to me how the mind of a three year old works !! To her, anything is possible, and she really could have been a Mermaid. I wonder what things we could do if we thought like a three year old sometimes.
