 5 MRI's
 6 Surgeries
12 In-Home Rehab Therapies
15 Days in Acute Rehab
25 Doctor Appointments

247 Reasons to Call out to God

Last Thursday Cara Aschliman provided our delicious dinner...
Roasted Chicken, Red Skin Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli, Baked Apples & Homemade Bread with Cinnamon Butter
We met Cara when she came to teach science at Worthington Christian.  She and her husband, Kevin are on staff with Campus Crusade.  Cara is due TODAY with their fourth child!  Not only is she a busy wife and mother but she and Kevin are full time ministry partners at OSU.  They love Jesus and He shines through their lives in ministry.  We are thankful for their ministry to others and us...we are blessed because we know the Aschlimans!
WC District Champion Medal
Thursday evening while Sarah and I were at Tapestry (bible study), Zac was able to take Tom (his first outing without me) to the Ohio High School District Championship game.  Worthington Christian defeated the number one seeded team:  Bloom-Carroll!  What a fun night for Tom, Kevin (coach), team and WC community.  We feel like we have an extra steak in the warriors as Matt has been coming home from MVNU to practice with the warriors.  We found out today that Tom's physical therapist, Jodi, is a Bloom-Carroll alum...she is working Tom extra hard today!!
Lemon Roasted Chicken, Roasted Vegetables, Apple Crisp and Great Harvest Bread
Thank you to Winnie Hafner for another delicious meal.
My mother-in-love recently asked me of I've read the book
"Heaven is for Real"
I had not, but Jill Coon had given me the book so it was easily accessible!
I now can say I've read it...great truths from a small boy...
I whole heartily agree...heaven IS for real!
Book two completed...
Another thing to be thankful for:  time to read!
Liz Bookheimer & her "tall" boss...
Yesterday after school we had the privilege of visiting with Tom's secretary, Liz...
She brought with her a large container of her husband, Ron's famous chili...
Not only is Tom celebrating life this past year, but Ron is too...
he also is having his one year anniversary from heart surgery...
Two men who God has blessed!
Thank You, Ron & Liz
