Congratulations

1 Peter 2:20 

For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God.

Patience has two sides and both are good I guess, 

But suffering for your faults really does not impress.

Suffering for the right, has much value indeed, 

God's Word tells us so, and to this we are agreed.(RP)

Margie and I drove to Marysville yesterday to celebrate with friends and family Jonathan Oliveira's graduation.  He is studying to be a paramedic and has done well.  We are proud of him and his achievements.  We had a wonderful time with our family who was also there and related to the Jonathan. Yesterday we also received multiple emails from Athens, Greece and Helen Steele who has graciously consented do look over our book manuscript and give it a fine-tuning prior to publishing.  We appreciate very much her ability to proofread and make appropriate suggestions for improvement. Margie had another good night for which we are thankful.  Thanks so much for praying.
