I was laid off from my job last week. Please pray for God to lead me to whatever he has planned for me next and that I will be willing to follow His plan. Also, my uncle Bob (moms brother) died on Sunday due to complications during heart surgery. This was just two years after my dad died. Mom is very sad. Please pray for comfort for all of Bob's family and friends who will miss him greatly but find peace knowing he is seeing Jesus face to face.

I know many are already praying, but just want to share Jeff’s CaringBridge link here in case it catches a few more people. Thank you so much for standing in prayer with us through this! https://www.caringbridge.org/site/179a5f13-4cdf-11f1-8844-5f2896bfb347?utm_source=website_share&utm_medium=share_button&utm_term=&utm_content=link_share_button&utm_campaign=private_home_page

For some of you that knew her, my mother-in-law Bev Lohmann passed away peacefully on 6–3. She was loved deeply and will be missed tremendously!! She is celebrating now in heaven!

Pray that Ben's wife, McKenzie's eyes will be opened to the truth that she cannot overcome her addiction to alcohol by herself, that only Jesus can help her and that His desire is that she be addicted to Him and that she confesses her sins, receives forgiveness from the Lord and her family. Give Ben the strength, courage and wisdom he needs to care for himself and his 3 month old child and that he too will forgive McKenzie and support her as she and Jesus fight this battle. And may all of them remember that the battle belongs to the Lord and place it in His hands.

My wife, Jane, fell yesterday and broke her leg. She will have surgery at Methodist this afternoon.
