Radio Silence

I've been out of pocket the last few days and just wanted to post an explanation/update here on the old blog. On Wednesday I dropped everything to drive 5 hours north to my hometown of Bartlesville, OK. This trip has been filled with both warm nostalgia and deep sadness. My Aunt Vizsh (nickname) has been in the critical care unit at the local hospital with a combination of ailments that have left her highly sedated and on a ventilator. We are still hoping that recovery is coming soon.

I come from a very small family (my sister and I are the only grandkids - that's right, no cousins = lots of attention and Christmas presents!) and Vizsh is my mom's only sister. She is a very loved, significant, and special part of our lives and her ordeal has made for some extremely long and trying days. People in Dallas have been so supportive by covering my Sunday morning responsibilities and also working to prepare to host our second 3-day "Connection" event coming up this week.

God has been faithful to provide each of us with the wisdom, courage, and strength that we need each day. I am confident that he will continue to do so. Thanks for praying with us.
