Ellen's response to Heidi's creme pie w/graham cracker crust after a fabulous stromboli provided in order for Theresa to focus her attention in care for Eden. Our family has been blessed by the people of God at Etown BIC and their desire to be present with us through the thick-n-thin of less than a year of presence in the congregation. AND we look forward to growing even closer together as we share leadership for a weekly fellowship/Adult Elective time of discussion and prayer based upon Philip Yancey's Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference?. FYI: earlier post regarding prayer conversation at CPYU morning prayer time.

Does Prayer Make a Difference? Yes!
1. High on the transition list was finding a local congregation which would care for and value our whole family. And we have found that in Etown BIC.
2. Eden's doing much better than we expected with the collarbone break on her favored left side, eating w/her left hand and even crawling for short distances . . . which can be painful to watch at times. We're particularly careful when she's standing by supporting herself along a piece of furniture. She has not yet tried to stand-up unattended.
3. Even w/all the buzz, Theresa was able to visit the Melon Man for 19 cent a pound bananas today and give me space to press on with more writing to address ESN Question 1.

Praise God for his answered prayer of finding a supportive local congregation in a few short months, his rapid healing of Eden, and progress made w/ESN material.

Intercede for a deepening connection with the people of God at Etown BIC through communion with God in prayer and Scripture, Eden's full healing, and the completion of the first draft of ESN material by early June.
