Manic Monday

Just two quick notes!

My cousin BJ is a genius behind the camera. He’s taken some beautiful summer photos of my sweet not-niece (but his real niece) Brielle at Rock Cut State Park. The photos are wonderful and totally worth checking out! His Brielle photo post is here.

Also, if you were a student at Berean or Rockford Baptist Schools or attended North Love or Windsor Baptist Church, you might have known Kathy (Burton) Lerch. She was a music teacher at both schools for a short time and an involved member of both churches.

She taught me as a student in sixth grade, and later on we became good friends while attending Windsor. After our families left Windsor, Kathy and I were both part of the Girls’ Night Out group that helped us many of us through the transition to new church families.

Kathy passed away unexpectedly this past Saturday, June 21. Please pray for her family, especially Missy, her 9 year old daughter. I’m sure they will covet your prayers as they go through this difficult time.

Thanks so much!
