prayer request

Hello everyone,

I would like to request that you continue to keep Ric and Jeanne K Cochran in your thoughts and prayers.  I ran into Ric and his son at Kohl's this evening.  What a terrific couple of guys! 

Ric said that Jeanne continues to have a wonderful positive attitude as always (her blog is wonderful).  Jeanne will start chemo soon.  What I didn't know is that Ric is going to be starting chemo soon also.  The meds for his MS are not working.  His doctors are going to try to use chemo to kill off part of the MS area.  He and Jeanne will be receiving chemo in the same facility but they have worked it out so they will not receive on the same days.  What a duo!  They are amazing.  Such an inspiration.

Thank you all so much,

Pam

Unity Sundays at 11

We will be having our usual Sunday celebrations at Unity at 11am this Sunday and next.

I expect these will be somewhat quieter and informal services (if that is even possible!). You are very welcome to join in, please remember, you are loved wherever you are!

Thank you for your best wishes and intentions in the Christmas weekend, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Wayshower, and the pressence of the Christ within each of us.

And please remember, You are a Blessing!

Sky

Hi Pam,

Nathaniel's surgery went well.  He'll see the doc in ten days to make sure the bones are mending correctly.  Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.   We will see you in the New Year.

Good morning Pam, 

    I wondered if you had Jeanne K. Cochran's address?  I would like to send her a card.  Also, Nate broke both bones in his wrist (ulna & radius) last night playing indoor soccer.  Keep him in your prayers if you would.  We are seeing the orthopedic Dr. at 11:00.  We are hoping they won't have to do surgery.  Jon was with him when it happened and he said the arm looked like an "S" when he got to him.  He splinted the wrist and lower arm with a small kids ball bat they happened to have and by the time they x-rayed it in the ER the bones looked well aligned.  We are hoping it looks as good to Dr. Molina today.  Talk to you soon.   Thanks,  Lisa

Yes, that would be nice and certainly can't hurt.  He will be having a closed reduction on Wednesday afternoon at Thomas Hospital.  Dr. Molina hopes to align the bones and cast his arm under anesthesia.   If it won't realign with manipulation, he will have to open his arm and place plates and screws.  Of course we are praying for the less invasive route.

 

  Thanks for your prayers,  Lisa

That is wonderful and very kind. Because of Ric's MS, we know that this time around, we will need to accept help that is offered. So thank you!  Food is actually the thing that helps us most. Ric used to love to cook, but no longer is able to stand for a very long time, and my right arm will be somewhat compromised for a while, so food would be welcome. It sure doesn't have to be fancy. Some tuna salad or something for sandwiches, a pizza, or anything easy is wonderful.

Also, There was a job I never got around to finishing that would be nice to have wrapped up before the first snowfall, and that would be raking leaves. I got most of it finished, but there are still some in the front yard, in the corner of the driveway, and on the back deck. (We started last year, letting the side yard become just like the woods, and want to leave the leaves on the ground in that space.). It's not a big job, but one I'll be unable to finish.

It's really nice of so many to want to help us, especially since we haven't been coming to church... But that's the kind of people you are... Gracious and loving. Thank you so much for your kind offer. My cell phone is 304.541.8984, and Rics is 304.546.7608. Blessings and love to you!

suitcases

Hello everyone,

 

Juanita Ruth One is moving to Central America to teach.  She would like to know if anyone has any old suitcases that they would no longer like to own.  She needs several for her move.  It is much cheaper to pay the airlines for extra suitcases than to mail her belongings.  If you can be of service, please let me know and I will pass the word along.

 

Thank you so much,

Hi All,

 

My plans have changed. Instead of going into the Peace Corps (which wanted to send me to Central Asia next September) I have accepted a position to teach English at the Center for Inter-american Studies (www.cedei.org) in Cuenca, Ecuador! I fly down on January 2, 2012 and the job commitment is for nine months (through September, 2012). The school runs ten-week sessions with week-long breaks in between, so I may be able to fly back to the states at least once during that period. (Although there is no such thing as an inexpensive fare!) Those breaks also offer an opportunity to travel nearby.

 

I am truly excited! Most of you know that it has been a long-held dream of mine to "retire" in Latin America and do something useful. This won't exactly be a retirement, but it will put me living in a culture that I love, in a country and city that I have visited and feel very drawn to, doing something (teaching English) which I really enjoyed while undergoing the CELTA certification training.

 

The good news is that with the internet and Skype, it is easy to stay in touch even across oceans! And I do hope that some of you will plan to come visit me in Ecuador -- it is an amazing country full of friendly, interesting people.

 

Love, light and laughter,
Juanita Ruth One
Holding the World in the Light of Peace
