MAY MARVELS AND MIRACLES!!

This is the month for many, many exciting items- Jayne would have been 53
on the 1st! Bill turned 42 yesterday! C.J. graduates college on the 17th!
Cindy and I announced our engagement and pending wedding plans for late
July or early August! WOW! (I say it louder!)

Still with me?

Cindy and I and C.J.'s "friend", Briana, will travel to Grantham very early
on the 17th for the 10 AM ceremony, the four of us will do lunch, then
Briana will stay and ride home with him, while Cindy and I either return
home or meet with her daughter, Joy and her husband, Doug, near the
Breezewood exit of the PA Turnpike, for dinner and a "getting to know you"
session.

C.J. still plans to summer at home, work and help around the house, then
back to Harrisburg to work/teach and be near Briana. PRAY for him to
find the right job(s) for both time periods.

Chartel is up-to-date with "things", financially speaking, working at I-HOP,
and planning to rent the house when I move out to be with my wife. She
and her "gentleman friend", Ryan have offered to do some repairs, etc.,
here, and I will be glad to rent the place to them for about half of what
they are paying for a townhome now. Of course they will pay the utilities,
etc.

I offered to sign her car over to her after she makes the next two (May and
June) loan and insurance payments, having 2/3 of her obligations filled.
She will just have to secure her own insurance, which she should be able to
do for less than her payments to me.

Cindy is a lady that I met a little while back, and she is a "miracle"!!
We have so much in common, it has to be the hand of God that brought us
together!! We both feel that way. She is the office manager for her Doctor-
of-Audiology brother, George, who operates 9 hearing clinics. She also is
a board member and volunteer (3 days a week) at an upscale women's
retail clotheing store in Pittsburgh's "North Hills".

She has already talked with "Pastor George" from St. Paul, "met" Peg,
my sister via phone, and hopes to "meet" Fred, Peg, and others soon.
YOU CAN'T HELP BUT LOVE HER - SHE'S A GENUINE, CHRISTIAN
LADY who loves "March Madness", the key to our meeting online!

Cindy is an elder in her church, has been on numerous short-term
missionary trips to Africa, gone to help with sunami relief, and send
assistance to and corresponds with her African friends. She hopes to
go back at least one more time. (And she hopes to take a "friend".)
We are praying for God's guidance as to what He wants us to do
as a team, as far as ministry/church involvement. Please pray with
us.

Announcements, pictures, etc. will be sent out soon.

Greetings from all of us, and know that you are loved! Chartel, C.J., Cindy, and Bill.

P.S. We plan to remain in the southeast section of Pittsburgh, looking for a
house to rent, so she can remain close to her job, with plans for me to
transfer to a Rite-Aid in the area. Another few things to pray about.
