  1. Lord God,
    You have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
    Amen

  2. Sorry to hear about Stella. It was always a lot of fun when she came to Aberdeen with mom to shop, visit with us and play cards. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
