Update on Chip

Three months! It's hard to think three months have flown by since Chip accepted the position of "Associate Pastor for Students" at the "new church" in the Huntsville area. I was just looking at the church website and reading the staff page. I was blessed to read what Chip wrote for his blurb:

Chip Dean ~~ Associate Pastor for Students

"My passion is to see teenagers and college students come to know Jesus Christ and to grow in Him! I was originally born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and lived there for the first 20 years of my life. From there God moved me to places like Scranton, Pennsylvania to attend and graduate from Baptist Bible College. Later, God took me to the Louisville, Kentucky area where I graduated from Southern Seminary with a M.Div. degree and served on staff in a local church as youth pastor for 4 years. Through it all God has guided me. He has designed every step of my path to mature me in the faith of Christ and to equip me for His calling on my life to pastor students. My life goal is to bring glory to Christ through the lives of students in His church."

Chip is preaching a great series of messages to his teens which are posted on his blog for his students. Here is the URL if you would like to read and find out what he is teaching and preaching: http://storyline24.blogspot.com/

And as always, prayers are appreciated for Chip as he spends his life in ministry for the cause of Jesus Christ!

OOPS... Jaden wasn't feeling very good by lunchtime

Jaden was really warm again at lunchtime. I took him temp with an oral thermometer and it registered 99.7. I'm not sure that Jaden had it under his tongue ~~~ he surely did feel warmer than the 99.7 reading. He ate a fair amount of lunch and then we watched a video together to give the Ibuprofen some time to kick in before I put him down for a nap. When I put him to bed, he said his head was hurting. That was probably from the fever. He went right to sleep. I pray he feels better when he wakes up later this afternoon.

Monday Morning Update on Jaden~~

Jaden is here with me today. He is feeling much better after having the high fever yesterday and throwing up a couple of times last evening due to the fever. He feels just a tad warm right now but ate an egg for breakfast, has been playing, and is quite active. We are enjoying our morning. After lunch, I will give him a dose of Tylenol and put him down for his nap. Grandma will catch up on some things while Jaden sleeps this afternoon. I thank the Lord that Jaden is doing so well today.
