THANK YOU! · Nov 27, 09:58 AM

... Debbie is gradually recovering from her chronic coughing – and her lung ex-rays show her lungs to be clear of any cancer related problems!

-Our daughter Jessica is doing well on complete bed-rest, and we will soon be welcoming into this world our fifth grandchild, Tristan Aviles!

-Debbie and I are more in love than ever – more than we ever could conceive, and we fall more deeply in love every day. That right there, probably puts us in the top one percent of humanity in terms of blessings!

-Many of our young “20-something” friends from the university and “Sticks” are inching their way along the pilgrim path to “Faith, Hope and Love.” What a privilege to be able to walk with them along this journey.

-We are soooo grateful for all of our many, wonderful friends who support us with your thoughtfulness, prayers and friendship … thank you!

-We didn’t get hit with any hurricanes this year, yeeeeehaaaaaw!

-And finally, this semester is almost over … and I survived once again. I only have 3 more books to read by Dec. 5.

Thank you one and all for your friendship and thanks to God for his wonderful blessings richly poured out in our lives!

Joseph and Debbie

Psalm 102:
Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-
who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s

The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.
Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.
Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
