Deb had a quiet day and was able to walk a little up and down the hallway with the help of her walker. Her treatment for pneumonia has boosted her mobility significantly.
Vince and Lisa Lewis drove up from Thomasville,Ga for a visit. Lisa and Deb became heart buds about 1963 in the seventh grade. Vince met Deb while Deb was a youth worker at Omega UMC in 1970ish.
Both Vince and Lisa were part of the Dr and Mrs Owens gang ministering at Valdosta State College and Moody AFB in Valdosta. Just like Vern and Deb, Vince and Lisa met and married in the Owens gang as did many other long-term friends of ours. Mrs O was quite a matchmaker!
Vince and Lisa are both musicians. Lisa is a pianist and Vince plays guitar. They have been worship leaders in churches, small groups, and at the Owens's before they were a couple. Vern has always enjoyed singing with them.
The Lewis's daughter Erin is now second-generation friends with our daughter Amanda. It's cool to have friendships continue into the next generations! It's a God-thing!
Today Amanda attended a worldwide Beth Moore event in Atlanta while Erin and husband Johnnie hosted the same event in Detroit. Small world!
It's a very special blessing to have been friends for all these years and to have been a part of the same ministry and now have our kids being friends!
Deb has commented all day how much she wants to write on this blog but she is still unable. Perhaps soon you'll hear more from her.
Blessings all!
Vern
