My cousin, Jill, died yesterday. She was 37. She had lived a very hard life but had pulled her act together a decade ago enough to enjoy her family and kids. She had cancer and somehow developed 7 brain tumors last week. Her teenaged boys found her Saturday night on her bathroom floor. Please pray for her boys and all those impacted.

I had such a great morning yesterday. The team was maybe one of the best we've had in a while, they were VERY engaged in leading worship. It was a great morning! Tim's message about the water of life was powerful too.

I called our neighbors all afternoon and never could get an answer. They don't have an answering machine. (lucky them) I was disappointed they couldn't come. But--as always seems to happen, the Lord worked in all of that. We had some great worship time and then talked about the message that morning which turned into something really amazing. We had some very deep and open sharing. I was really thankful that we were able to go that deep. It was cleansing and healing for most everyone there, I'd imagine. There are always those who will never allow themselves to be vulnerable, but when those who are willing to confess open their hearts, there's nothing better than that.

Sheryl went to the Dr. this morning. Apparently, she's growing a large baby in there. WELL, DUH!! Finally the doc admitted it. Looks like we'll be having this baby somewhere around May 26th. That's exciting!! Ella came 2 1/2 weeks early and was 9 1/2 punds. That will tell you something right there! Please pray that Sam doesn't decide to be born in Florida (where we're going Wed) or while I am away in Malibu, CA. the following week.

We leave Wednesday for vacation. I am taking my first vacation day of the year. PRAISE THE LORD! We're heading to the beach with Ryan and Sarah Williamson and their kids. The girls are already wearing their swimsuits every day in preparation.

Have a great Monday, everyone!
