PAISLEY PRODUCES!

Mom went to New York with “the girls” (average age: 75) and saw some plays. The Producers was her favorite. So for Christmas, she gave tickets to the off-off-off-off Broadway production of it last night at the gorgeous Orpheum in downtown Omaha to my sister and me and our spouses.

The guys’ stoic frowns and sighs quickly turned into beaming smiles, the show was so funny and so good.

Best of all, we ran into my nephew’s in-laws and got some joyous news: Baby Paisley turned over! It happened on the morning of her four-month appointment with the pediatrician. After an extremely traumatic birth and touch-and-go first days, there were grave concerns that our grand-niece might have developmental delays or cerebral palsy. This milestone shows otherwise.

That’s better than a Tony, an Oscar and a Super Bowl ring to Paisley’s “producers” – her parents. And may her Heavenly Producer take a celestial bow.

Prayer request: The trial continues for our young Ben, the teenager with leukemia who had gone to Houston to await a bone-marrow transplant, but had come out of remission at the last minute. His transplant is being delayed for three months while a new chemotherapy is applied. Lord Jesus, help him and his family keep their eyes on You, help Ben be healed, and we’ll all give all the glory to You. (Revelation 3:5)

If you would like to send a message of hope and encouragement to Ben, please send it to est414@cox.net and thank you very much.
