Slightly disappointing day. WVU Football Game Day. Today, VaTech a big rival, came to town and everything shuts down—apparently including rehab centers. Jennifer got one hour of Occupational Therapy, but that’s all.
Julia did go up and visit from noon-6pm. Tomorrow she must fly back to SLC to resume her MBA classes. She had two pretty full days with Jennifer. A good mother daughter visit.
Today, Julia read to her from EveryMomentHoly, a compilation of liturgies for every conceivable situation. She read from “A liturgy for the Feeling of Infirmities.” 
- “…a small share of the malady of a frayed creation” (so Grace at the Fray)\
- “may the decline of our bodies incline our hearts and souls ever more vigorously toward your coming kingdom.”
Luke and Jack arrived after a 30 hour continuous cross-country drive from Salt Lake City. So good to be with them. Tomorrow we hope to all go up and picnic in the grass outside of Jennifer’s window.

30 hours drive!! Those boys are stronger man, praying that you al will have a great time on the picnic, that you will be encouraged by getting together and that Jennifer and the Kids will have a nice time too
Those are some wild and crazy guys!Hope you have a joyful Lord's Day and that He will comfort all of you and keep you safe.
Thanks for the updates, Scott! Am still praying daily for Jennifer and feeling thankful for every small step of progress. I do appreciate your identifying the prayer concerns of-the-day, as they truly help to inform my prayers.

Continuing in prayer, so happy to see the progress, although I know it must seem slow and sometimes discouraging. So glad everyone has been able to come visit ❤️ Continuing to trust his caring and powerful hand at work in all of this. (PS. I remember my first shower after a week with malaria…totally life-giving!!!)
Jennifer is on the Blacknall prayer list and we continue to pray for her healing. Frustrating though the day seems to have been, we're thankful for small steps forward. Praying that the next week brings some bigger leaps!
