There is a lot to catch up on. This has been a spring season for the ages in terms of eventfulness! Let me tell you about last week, and that will be a start.
Last Monday at baseball practice Luke slid into a base rolled his ankle and dislocated it and broke his leg! He had surgery on Wednesday morning to set the joint, but will be in a cast/boot for 3 months! It was especially hard for him because his team is entering the Regional Tournament this week and have strong hopes of playing in the state tournament.

Adversity reveals a lot about character, and Luke’s heart has been revealed in some neat ways. As we drove home from the clinic the first night, he told me he had been thinking about Romans 8:28 and how he could trust God with the injury.
As he was coming out of anesthesia, another patient was panicking as she woke up from her surgery. Luke made sure to ask the nurse tell her that he was praying for her.
Life is not easy. We have friends out of work, friends who have lost loved ones, friends facing terminal cancer. The Lord promises to be near to those who call upon Him.

On the other hand, life is full of things to celebrate. Cara and Perry graduated from the University of Central Florida last week. Cara’s degree is in Civil Engineering (structures and geotechnical) and Perry’s is in Mechanical Engineering (thermo-fluids).
They walked one after the other across the stage while Macy and I watched with Perry’s parents and brother (Dayna was home with Luke because it was the day after surgery).
Cara and Perry will move to Baltimore this summer where Perry will begin his PhD work at Johns Hopkins. We’ll miss them being so close, but are proud of both of them.
And now we get to visit Baltimore!
Thank you for your faithfulness to Him and your partnership in our ministry with Cru. You make such a big difference to our family and to those we serve. I promise I'll do better at keeping you updated...look for more updates this month!
