I know this is supposed to be wordless but I had to share what God has done. Above is our dear precious friend, mentor and father figure Alan. He has written a book and it is due out very soon. 2 weeks ago he become ill while at their cabin in Arkansas. They thought it was maybe just a bad flu or that he had hurt his back. He became worse and they ended up taking him to the hospital. They had come to Texas for the weekend for Fathers Day weekend so they were home and surrounded my family and friends. The Doctors did test after test and had no idea what was wrong. They sent in specialist and still nothing was coming back positive. He was literally at deaths door for a couple of days. He ended up testing positive for West Nile. Today after 9 days he is being released from the hospital and is a walking miracle. The young and elderly (although he is only in his mid 60s) typically do not survive this......BUT GOD! We had the blessing of spending about an hour with him in the hospital this week and we were blown away. The look on his face was different. You knew he had been there. He spoke with TOTAL conviction and power. We are in total awe of what the Lord has done and SOOOO very grateful that our dear friend is still with us. This picture was taken when Sam was about 3 months old and Alan dedicated him.

Wow! What a story. Very scary, but just like God to do such a miracle! He obviously isn't quite finished with Alan:) What is his book?

Looking forward to seeing y'all too! I really need to start packing! Yikes!!! Theme nights, baby gear, etc! Here is a link to his book. He has been a family friend for 25 years and a mentor to Trae.
