Our good friend Pam Russell visited us on Wednesday, as she passed through Texas on the way to a mission trip to Kentucky. She had us in stitches most of the time. What a clown! She seems to be doing well, 18 months after receiving a deadly cancer diagnosis. The really great thing is that she is full of the joy of the Lord. He has been changing her for 29 years and we’ve witnessed that progress. Now to see her rejoicing in her tribulation is enough to fill with joy those who love and admire her. Psalm 119:74 “They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.” That verse describes our time with Pam. Pray for her as she works in the coming days to help the poor and testifies to what God had done in her before crowds and in private conversation.

PR with our son, Mike--He turns 40 today!
