Cassie Update - Kenai Homecoming! 5/9/06

Dear Praying Friends,

As I titled this update, I started with "Homecoming." But for us, Homecoming all by itself means home to heaven. So, I quickly changed it to "homecoming to Kenai." Cassie has been in the Lord's hands all this time. Thankfully, He is keeping her here with us!

It's hard to believe, but we will all be flying home today. I can't get on the same Seattle to Anchorage leg, but will be going out two hours earlier. But I will wait for them at their Anchorage arrival gate and get the wheelchair ready. We will then all be flying together back to Kenai on a 4:30 Grant Air flight. So at least we will be together on that leg.

Cassie is very weak. Despite all her meds for pain, she has a constant headache and he neck is really sore. This trip will really be hard on her. Please pray that the appropriate help will be there all along the way.

We hope to touch down in Kenai sometime after 5 PM Alaska Time.

Praise the Lord for his intervention along the way. Praise Him for His "scandalous love" to quote a Beth Moore phrase. Why Scandalous? Because every step along the way we have felt undeserving and lavished upon. Praise Him for his love acted out thru people. Each of you that have contributed in this adventure, you know who you are! God does, too. And we praise Him for each of you.

Thanks.

Gary, Kris and Cassie
