Ned,

Praying for Mickey that God will heal that infection.  Boy, those things are
particularly difficult for diabetics, but not too hard for our God.  Will
pray again before I hit the hay.

Congrats on the birthday party.  Glad you were able to go and have company
going too.  Sounds like a wonderful family the Lord has blessed you with.
And a wonderful Father's Day.

Ned, you're special to us around here too.  It's good to know you're praying
for all of us.

By the way, how's work?  Has it picked up any?

Vicki
