Home, home again

Funny, I opened the doors to the store today and it's completely empty. I did one lesson at 3:30 and now it looks like it will be nice and quiet til I close at 6 tonight. So, I decided to let you know what's going on. Our oldest son and his family came home Wednesday. I still can't tell the complete story, but the "Prodigal Son" story is enough to get a picture!

Due to a miraculous healing (and no, I'm not over exaggerating), a change of heart, soul, and mind, Charlie was welcomed home with opened arms. His wife and two kids came along and it's been incredible to really spend some time with them. I finally understand...I am a grandpa!

I hope to post some pictures soon, but now is not the time. I just want you to know that many, many, prayers have been prayed and the Lord has been faithful to hear the prayers of the saints. Charlie is not completely out of the woods yet...but there is a light flickering that he can see through the trees and he seems to be running to it. What a blessing. Our son Tom is happy that his brother is home too. He has missed him.
