Congratulations

Our Chili Cook Off and Talent Show was a good success this afternoon.  Jim Wilkison won the top prize in the chili cooking competition (best chili). Andy Adams' entry was judged spiciest and Ethan Hasenoehrl's was blandest.  Madeline Blunt was earned first place in the talent show.  Congratulations to everyone who participated.

Speaking of competition, our worship services tomorrow morning will be competing with the Seahawks playing in the NFL playoffs against the Bears in Chicago. Surely no one needs any help making the right choice about where to be at 10 a.m. tomorrow!  In case you find yourself wavering, ask "What would Jesus do?"  No matter if you're a big Seahawks fan or not, this ought to be an easy question.

Dorwan Stoddard, an active member of the Mountain Avenue Church of Christ in Tucson, AZ was killed in the supermarket shooting (where Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was seriously wounded).  According to reports, he threw himself in front of his wife, Mavy, when the shooting started. A fatal bullet struck him in his head.  His wife was hit by bullets in her legs, but is expected to recover.  Please remember her and all of the Stoddards' blood family and their church family as they undergo this traumatic experience.  Also pray for the recovery of Representative Giffords and the others who were injured or killed in the shooting.

Follow-up about Marge

Trish and I visited Marge Easley in Skagit Valley Hospital this afternoon. She said she had wanted to keep the news from church folks so no one would worry about her, but I think she was glad to know that people were praying for her. She fainted Monday, falling and giving both her eyes nice shiners. She also cut her nose, resulting in profuse bleeding apparently. The good news is that she was not seriously injured. She called 911 because she called her doctor and they told her that it was not safe for her to drive herself to the hospital after having fainted. She is being kept in the hospital while the doctors run tests trying to find the reason for her fainting. Perhaps she will be able to go home Wednesday, depending on what the tests show.
