Only One Son – In the Line of Duty

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31

Warm greetings, dear friends… we want to praise the Lord for His faithfulness … for His enabling and strength … and for His provisions for all of our needs! It’s good to know that, as Isaiah 40:31 tells us, we can “exchange” (renew) our weakness for His strength!
We are thankful for your faithfulness in prayers and support, too!

We do have some urgent prayer requests for you … We will be driving about 3,500 miles in the next 3 weeks …leaving early tomorrow (September 30th) for Carlisle, Pennsylvania (overnight at our daughter Deb’s), then on to Santa Claus (that’s actually the name of the town!), Indiana (overnight somewhere … and then stopping for a brief visit the next day at Barb’s niece’s), then to Camdenton, Missouri, October 3rd to 6th – COPS (Concerns Of Police Survivors’) Annual Parents’ Retreat … we do peer support and Ray has the Saturday through Monday AM devotionals (COPS is not a Christian organization – but there’ll be about 125 or so bereaved parents – line of duty sons and daughters and many have identified themselves as believers …

On Monday, the 6th, we head to daughter Judy’s in Little Rock, Arkansas, for a couple of days … then to Mt Gilead, North Carolina, at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, for a Police Appreciation on the 12th … back to Deb’s for a couple of days, and to Akron, PA, for the BASIS Annual grief seminar on the 18th, and on to Binghamton, NY, to speak at Grace Baptist Church in their missions conference, on the 19th … we would really covet your prayers!

We would appreciate prayer for our health … we’re both not really feeling well, but we do believe that the Lord has put this trip together for His glory. We know that He will supply the necessary strength and stamina. Colossians 4:2-4

In His Victory,

Barb and Ray
II Timothy 1:12
