Just Bein' a Boy!

Weston discovered the dirt piles today! They have been there for a few months now (ever since we had the area cleared for the trailer that we didn't end up moving here), but didn't get explored until today! He had a blast throwing dirt clods and whacking stuff with a big stick. Oh to be so carefree and enjoy simple treasures like dirt mounds and big sticks!!

Please pray for my Dad. He has his cancer surgery on Monday morning in Anchorage. He was told by the surgeon that he'll need to spend 3 or 4 days in the hospital and as soon as he is up and recovering well, they want to do a thorough check of his colon. There was a shadow on it last May when he had his last colonoscopy, but the doctor that he had at the time overlooked it. His surgeon caught it a few days ago in the results from his CT scan, so we'll see what's going on there. Mom, Weston, and I will be going to the "big city" to stock up on supplies while Dad's in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers for the hands of the surgeon, quick recovery, no cancer in the colon, and safety on the roads!

Snails and puppy dog tails come to mind when I saw the last pic of your son! What a look on his face!
I will be lifting you all up Monday.
God knows and He will provide everything you need.

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father, there is no shadow of turning with Thee, Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not..at Thou has been Thou forever will be...
Great is Thy faithfulness..........

Remember what a tender loving faithful God we serve.
Love you, Bonnie

Wow! What a long road for your Dad. We will pray for him together. I can't even imagine all that is going through his head and heart. What a comfort to have our Saviour in times like these!
