Dear Friends,
As you see by this e-mail, I have a new e-mail address, gharris@gkharris.com Both Kris and I still have our akcc.org e-mail addresses as well. gary@akcc.org and kris@akcc.org Kris does a better job at keeping her Alaska Christian College for "work" and her other one for home. One computer there, another computer here. Never the twain shall meet. But me? I just can't split myself up that way. In some ways that's good. In other ways I have a harder time turning off at the end of the day.
Kris' GCI address will also go away. Her new e-mail address will be maudy@gkharris.com . I am tired of being locked into one provider via the e-mail address. With our own domain, gkharris.com, we are free of that.The domain is also home for the computer business I do on the side.
It's strange. This change is causing me alot of stress. I have had my old e-mail address for 8 years! I'm so glad that God's address never changes, or that HE has no need for any sort of "Out of the Office" reply. He's always there!! AMEN?
Continue in prayer for Cassie. Her recovery is doing well. She still has bad days and needs alot of sleep. Kris has taken on more of a load helping Cassie with her school work. Cassie is getting pretty tired of being pretty tired. Here are some specific requests:
1. Pray Cassie will be able to get to sleep earlier. Sleep has always been hard for her. As it is now, no matter how hard she tries, she can't get to sleep until 1 am or later. We have stopped trying to take her off any of her medications for now. That had a real adverse effect on her. Patience! We need that in bucketfuls!
2. Pray for Cassie especially on Sundays. We do whatever we can to make it work so she can sleep late most days. But we all want to be at church on Sunday and the earlier morning always seems harder on her.
3. Pray for Kris' summer schedule. Things slow down quite a bit at the Counseling Center. Right now, that's very good for Cassie's sake. But Kris has replaced some of her time at the school with helping Cassie with school work. Cassie is still having a hard time in this area.
Praise the Lord that all of our kids are around this summer. Chelsie's back home preparing for school in Juneau in the fall. She's working at a cannery and enjoying her friends. Tyler moved out of his apartment and is back with us for a while while he finsihes out the summer with is 2 week on 2 week off roustabout job. From there, he's not sure what he will be doing. It's good to have him around.
Praise for great support we have had and are continuing to have through all of this from folks like you. We have been through alot together,
Praise the Lord for my computer business. With Cassie, we have really had to put continued fund raising on hold. Kris has also gone to part time status so she can spend the time needed with Cassie - - Being able to do computer work and not feeling like I'm forsaking ministry . . . . .God has been very patient with me!
God bless all of you.
Gary and Kris
