Larry Lillibridge… RIP

News came today that my dear husband’s best friend and the best man at our wedding passed away in Turkey this morning at 0130 our time. Age 72 and 32 days. This man was an honorary Uncle to our children, confidant, and adventure partner. He will be sorely missed by our family and many of our friends. 

Our prayers go out to his daughter as she navigates her grief without her parents. May she find the peace in Christ that passes understanding. We also pray for his siblings as they deal with their grief.

Very nice Memorial service Aug 3, 2024, Mead Cemetery, Manchester, IA

Vacation has begun

New month

Time to take note of your old one. Is your relationship with Christ becoming more intimate? Or are you just going thru the motions? When’s the last time you entered the confessional? When’s the last time you took a hard, upclose, personal look at yourself? When’s the last time you prayed for your spouse or significant other? How’s that relationship going? Your children, do you pray for them daily? Your priest, do you pray for him daily? Your President? Your mayor? Council? Church board? Friends? How many of us have good intentions and fall short? Do you say a prayer passing the church? Cemetery? When a schoolbus, ambulance, firetruck, or squadcar passes? When’s the last time you visited/prayed for your parents, grandparents, Godparents, Godchildren, or other significant people in your life? There’s still time… start today.

Know you are prayed for.
