Remember all of our service men and women who are now serving and those of our loved ones who will be going to Iraq. They are special people and we should always remember them in our prayers.

Vera Pittman we heard you were doing somewhat better and know we are thinking of you.

Elmer Koen and family we continue to pray for you.

CORRECTION as to Dave Daniel’s health problem. He had a severe heart attack; had angioplasty and a stint put in an artery that was clogged. His recovery has been remarkable but not up to hitching up an Airstream yet.
