Thanks Rick, Mary, Gretchen and Ken - your support means so very much. Burdens truly are easier when we handle them together.
Good News - we did find out that the outside team has cleared, so we will have a full team. We also got a number: 35 candidates!!
Re: Sharon - you have been in our prayers. Unfortunately we have not been successful in getting anyone to say "yes" to attending the weekend in July, but we are praying for more candidates for you. Don't give up!!
Having first hand experience with the DOC, I can understand the obstacles that you have to overcome. I am praying hard for all involved and as you said the Holy Spirit will prevail. I just hope the Holy Spirit has received the proper clearances.
