Labor Day and Ellie Bean

Brother Sean,

Just wanted to know how your Labor Day went.  I labored the first half of the day and then enjoyed good food and good friends the rest of the day.  Unfortunately, one of those friends had to watch his team get beat last night.  I am glad K-State won this weekend because most of the other teams I have connection with lost.  Miss. State, Aggies, and my alma mater, Virginia, who hopefully were well compensated for being humiliated and beaten down.

Also wanted you to know we are joining with you and your family in thanksgiving to our God for the blessings of Ellie.  I still remember the phone calls from you when all the stuff was happening that day.  Thanks be to God for His great mercies!

Finishing up Surprised by Hope.  Don’t know if you have heard anything about it but it is pretty good.

Laboring, rejoicing, and reading,

Brother Jon
