Prayer Request

Friends,

I just have to ask you to pray for some dear family friends in Washington...Joyce Smart, and children Annette, Amy, Jon, David, Mandy and Grant lost their husband and father, Sonny Smart, this evening after a long battle with Alzheimer's. Sonny was one of the greatest men I have ever known...a well-loved and respected leader in the church and in the community of Wenatchee. He was such a wonderful mentor to me as a young minister...in fact, it is a nearly a certainty that I would not still be in full-time ministry were it not for this families' love and wise counsel. I am sad that he is no longer with us, personally, but so relieved for him that he could be set free from this human existence that had been so difficult in recent years. To our Washington friends, take good care of this family...blessings,

Don
