We covet your prayers for our

1. family as we step into the daily life of summer break.  As you know, this demands setting a good pace for family time, reading, rest, and worship with a house filled with energy to bolt out (into the yard and to various special events/programs).  Pray for the six of us during summer session to be truly filled with the mysterious Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), i.e., the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, which we cannot generate in large quantities over extended, stretching times on our own.  Pray for us to follow Christ as a family each step of the way  ;-)
2. year end fund development.  Update: we've received $3,000 plus some to address our $15,000 shortfall. So only about $12,000 by 6/30 to reach the $90,000 budget.  If you have the resources to give at this time, direct gifts to "InterVarsity Christian Fellowship" P.O. Box 7895, Madison, WI 53707-7895 AND enclose a separate piece of paper indcating that the gift is for the work of "Tom Grosh."  Note:  On-line giving available at www.intervarsity.org/donate/to/Tom_Grosh. God provides. To God be the glory!

PS.  Be sure to check out Giving Back :: InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (Marci Weidler. Circle of Life Photography. 6/14/2010) for all the 'hot off the press,' amazing pictures of our family (including some with the chickens).  Thank-you Marci! To God be the glory for the gift of family and the ability to 'capture' the moment through Marci's craft and skill.  

PPS.  In case you haven't heard, Lily turned two on 6/13.  Wow!  You can see the enthusiastic expression on her face ;-)
