Rain and Pain Today

Left early his morning and took my "baby" Les to the Periodontist over an hour away. Was a little concerned about the weather as it was raining and was to turn to freezing rain. We got along fine as far as the driving. Les had to have oral surgery to remove a tooth and have bone grafted in for a future permanent tooth to be installed. The procedure took over an hour. She was shaking so bad waiting to be called in that I had to smack her on the leg to stop her. She came out looking a little pale holding an icepack to her jaw. They gave her an extra one for the trip home plus a script for pain pills. She opted not to fill the script and instead took some ibuprofen. She has a cast on her teeth to secure the bone graft. I believe the cast bothers her more then the pain. She is not allowed to run for 2 weeks and that is really a bummer for her. Her stitches come out in a week. Amy's girls have had the stomach bug for 2 days and Amy has it today. She says she is going to start sending Paige to school in a bubble. Say a prayer for the sick and in pain members of my family.
The guys went all the way to Charleston, WVa today to do a job at a church. We got hooked up with an Audio Visual Group (they installed the A/V for our new church) and they have been giving us a job a week. They are a really great group of Christian men and we enjoy working with them.

Also remember me as I start a new venture in my life. For the past 2 years I have been the Community Team Coach at our church. This involved being the overseer of individual groups such as Women of Faith,Men of Faith, Churchwide Fellowship Events plus others. I have enjoyed it altho it has been a lot of work at times. Our church has a Vision Team consisting of 6 individuals that prayerfully oversee, guide and direct the church in all aspects now and for the future. Each member of the Vision Team serves three years with 2 going off each year. I was very humbled when asked this week if I would serve on this team for the next 3 years. After much prayer and discussion I feel led to accept. It is a big responsibility so I ask that you keep me in your prayers as I do God's work. Someone will replace me as Community Team Coach.
