I'll Be Watching You

Rick, Helen and Paul handing out hot meals
to the poor in downtown Atlanta.















Paul and Abby -
After we watched the old James Bond movie,
Goldfinger, a couple of weeks ago, Paul made
up his own version of that title song, but he
called his "Goldenretriever". It was hilarious!















Abby and Emma - best of friends















James helping the Outreach Ministry deliver

Finally.........Rick's face!















This picture is from Mother's Day - Paul was
giving a running commentary about each baby
outfit that had been purchased for his cousin
Becca's baby boy. What a fabulous Mother's
Day we all had.















Grandma Brown and I being thoroughly
entertained.















Jon, Aunt Bev and Michael















Paul, Jonathan and Joseph at Joseph's
engagement party this past Sunday.
Joseph started to get a complex about the fact that every time he came with Jonathan to visit Paul, it would turn out that Paul would be admitted to the hospital the day after their visit. It
happened 3 times! But not this time. Paul has had a good day today (Monday). He went to work, went to the Vet to pick up medicine for Abby, shot some hoops at Jerry's, visited with Judy and Frank and did some eye excercises. We even talked about getting him signed up for just one online class. We discussed the fact that he has headaches, but we could try to read the material to him and he could just take notes and practice that skill. For the first time, he was interested in discussing it. I suggested he start by reading through the classes that are offered and try to make that decision. He told me today that he knows everyone thinks there is something wrong with his mind, but that is not his problem. It is his headaches. But he is willing to begin the process and start trying to make a decision about what class he might like to take.

He is also going to start keeping track of his monetary affairs. He will balance his check book and will keep track of paying his 2 monthly bills. Step by step he will make his way back!

Thank you for keeping Paul in your prayers. He does find comfort in the fact that people are still praying for him. He fully understands that he would not have made it this far, or possibly even lived had it not been for all the prayers offered up for his needs. What a powerful gift - and we all thank you. These pictures are proof of what the power of prayer can do.

Love,
Jon and Rebecca
