Thank you, all of you who prayed for Owen. He is wearing a back brace, but is moving around and becoming more and more like his 'ol "teenage self" Dead

I'm thankful.

He is missing Youth Convention (his last) as it would have meant a 36 hour Greyhound Bus ride (too long for his back). If you think of him in your prayer time, pray for encouragement and wisdom.

Thanks and God Bless all of you,
Jo-Anne

To all those who prayed, thank you! Some wonderful saint paid for Owen to fly down to convention...then he'll make the 36 hour bus ride back!

God Bless,
Jo-Anne

Glad to hear it, Jo-Anne! Glad he's doing better.

Well, maybe not glad about a 36 hour bus ride. Some opportunity for patience practice...

Blessings,
Lee

Thanks Lee,
He made it to Vancouver, then was robbed between the time his plane landed and he boarded the Greyhound. A couple of guys, one with a needle, who said they would stab him if he didn't hand over his cash. So he did. I'm thankful he wasn't hurt. Minus 60.00 and fortunately that's all he was carrying. And I'm thankful he can be at youth convention right now.

They leave there on Tuesday and back home Thursday via Greyhound.

Hope he made it back without further incident! Sorry to hear about the robbery, bus stations are not such safe places.

Blessings,
Lee

WOW! How is he doing after all of that? I have been praying.

Thanks for keeping us posted, Jo-Anne.
