Thank you Gay; I am grateful for your encouraging comments. I do pray that God would use everything we are going through for His kingdom purposes and glory. Thank you especially for your prayers, and know that I'm praying for you and your class this morning too!
Our Organist/music staff had a stroke at the same time as Cheryl. She is also in rehab gaining strength. Praying for both you and Cheryl as you minister to others during this season of trial.
YES Patricia we are thankful for the great rehab team we had; it was an answered prayer for sure. And thank you for your prayers for me. It certainly is a challenging time, physically and otherwise. I'm praying for you and your class today too!
Thank God that Cheryl is home. I will continue to pray fro her complete recovery. Thank you Shawn for all you do to assist me in preparing to teach the lesson.
YES it is so nice to be home for sure - at least we are mostly on our own schedule now, and in a more comfortable place. Thank you for your prayers David. I'm thankful that the overview is helpful to you; I'm praying for you this morning as you share the lesson!
So glad Cheryl continues to improve. Praying for you both. May God strengthen and encourage her through this journey. Thank you for your prayers for my Sunday school class. I am grateful!

You are very, very welcome! I am so thankful for your encouraging words -- and your prayers -- Amen, yes in Jesus' name! And I'm praying for you and your class this morning too!
I appreciate so much your commitment to sharing with us on how to teach these Sunday school lessons! Upon every remembrance, I pray for you and your wife! Thank the Lord that you are able to share this precious time with her and see God work in her life. Thanks for who you are, blessings and love!❤
Amen; this is a sweet and special time for us -- even in the hardships. Thank you so much for your prayers Gladys. And I'm grateful that the lesson overview is helpful to you. I'm praying for you and your group this morning!
Special thanks for your commitment to share your insights and knowledge with others to enhance our teaching. It is such a help and blessing. God bless you and guide you as you continue to minister in His name!
Thank you Judy for letting me know that the lesson is helpful to you; it means a lot! Thank you also for your prayers -- and know that I'm praying for you and your class this morning as you teach!
I've been watching you for a year or so and have gleaned many helpful tips to help me teach our class. I have heard you many times refer to your blog but just recently I have started clipping and pasting some of your points I find interesting into my notes. I wish I could just read the whole thing to them but that would be cheating and plagiarism. I will be in Austin Oct 10-13 for a conference, I wish I could make it to your church being so close but I wont be able to due to timing. It's good to see the books behind you again instead of that rather nice courtyard.
Thank you for preparing and sharing these Sunday School lessons! I looked up Cheryl's favorite scripture at this time... and Isaiah 48:10-11 do speak to me. Thanks again!
Amen; you are very welcome Treva; I'm glad the lessons are helpful to you. Cheryl said the other day: "I am just SO in love with God's word right now; it is the only thing that is getting me through." His word is a treasure. I'm praying for you as you share it this morning!
YES MA'AM I am sure praying for you all. We lived in Morganton, NC before we moved south of Houston, and it was devastated by the storm too, so we are sure praying. And I'm praying for you specifically this morning too!
I am grateful that we have had some opportunities to share the past few weeks. And I'm praying for you and your class as you share about those opportunities this morning!
