Heavy Heart

We are on our way home from spending time with David and Linda in North Carolina, so I'm sitting in our hotel room writing. My heart is heavy with sadness. We received a phone call that once again changed "life" for the Elms Family. My husband's brother, Royce suddenly passed away Saturday evening. We are all reeling from the shock of losing such a great brother, friend, encourager, and preacher of the gospel!

Many friends have called or texted this evening. You have brought strength to our hearts. We know God is in control and we totally trust Him. Thank you for your continued prayers for the family. We appreciate you and love you more than you know!

Amarillo Weekend - Oct. '09

We were so excited to be able to go to Amarillo to be with Royce and Annette, and their family. Royce has been in Amarillo for 40 years! He has fought many battles while being there. Many men would have left because the battle was raging, but Royce and Annette knew they had been called by God to Amarillo and nothing could shake them away from their calling.

We had a great time! Of course, who wouldn't have a great time with this "Elms bunch"? :) You will definitely be "thrust into" fun and laughter when you are with them. You have to know them to understand what I am saying. It makes me smile just thinking about it.
