I have posted this update on FB…. “Can you hear the shouts of praise?? Dwight does NOT have CV19. Thank you for praying…still need him healed from bacterial pneumonia. 🙌🏾” We are beyond grateful for all your prayers for Dw and the rest of us.  I know some even fasted – thank you!  Dw is slowly…

Well friends, our family could use some prayer. Dw has been battling something for about 10 days…it started slow and we thought it was probably his seasonal allergies.

Their home was built in the 1800s and they had been diligently working restoring it, little by little.  What a tragic loss. Dw, the kids and I were there 2.5 years ago…
