My heart is heavy for my dear student Joe and his family. Pray for him and his family. Please include myself and the other kindergarten children also. That we can be the friend Joe needs during this difficult time. I turn to Psalm 62 and remember that my soul will find rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress. I will not be shaken.
