'24 Birthday Greetings

      I just wanted to take the time to thank my dearest family and friends for the very special birthday greetings! You ALWAYS have the nicest things to say to me! Today, we enjoyed a most beautiful church service (because this year, my birthday came on a Sunday); we had a most scrumptious lunch at Red Lobster; and when we returned home, we watched the Olympics! ("Go athletes from all over the world!")

      At the Olympics this year, I am specifically rooting for my home country of America and the countries of my family and friends around the world! I am so excited about the festivities...

     In August, I am starting school again, so would you please keep me in your prayers? First, please pray that God would give me the ABILITY to do my work, and next that He would give me the DESIRE to do it. -- That everything will go well overall. Thank you, and I am praying for you too!!
