Hey Living Stoners,

Just wanted to give you an update on a few of our fellow Living Stoners:

Raelyn Marjorie Ramey- Leisl Christopher-Murphy had her baby yesterday evening at 7:34 p.m.  The baby weighed in at 7 lbs. 7 ounces.  Long day.  Ultimately had a c-section.  Mom and baby are doing well.

Dick Newport – is at home.  Hospice is coming to the house several times a week.  Be praying for Dick and Diana during this time.  Talking is difficult for Dick, but he is very responsive through nods of the head.

Betty Ketchum- is at the Golden Living Center (on 12th street in Mishawaka).  She is in room #105.  She is in some pain.  They are trying to manage it.  Be praying for Betty, and her family – Janelle, P.J., and the sweet grandkids.  They are hoping she might get strong enough to go back home. 

Baby Osterhout – Amy went into the hospital last night.  Began 1st stage of induction.  Rather than push to other stages of induction, Mark & Amy, along with the doctor decided to send her home to wait a little longer.  She is officially “not working” and we expect to hear a good word anytime.

Heard about this story yesterday.  Very interesting

Two Texas private Christian schools played a basketball game.  Covenant vs. Dallas Academy.  Covenant beat Dallas Academy 100 – 0.  That is not a typo…it says 100 – 0.

The school administrators later apologized.  In response, Covenant’s coach defended his team and his actions.  So, the school fired him.

Talk about a blowout!!  Can you imagine being at that game?  How incredibly awkward.  Does anyone cheer anymore after the score is 50 – 0?  What should the coach and team have done?

What would you have done?

OK…I will be leaving this topic soon so I’m sorry if you’re tired of hearing about it…BUT I’M STILL SO STINKING EXCITED ABOUT IT!!

I got to the office this morning and was greeted by a great voicemail message.  Patti, a fitness trainer from the O’Brien Center (the best gym in the city!), had called and left a wonderful “thank you” message.  After some health issues, and no health insurance (they did an article about her in the paper a week or so ago), she is needing to pay medical bills.  A Living Stoner blessed her with a little money to help.  But what seemed to be the most touching to her was the note that was left with the money.  Whoever did this…YOU’RE COOL!!!

Ann Lynn put some more stories on the Kingdom Investment post.  You can find them here.
