-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What does this mean to us?
1. We should be starting up in September as usual.
2. Since the tennis operations are continning, my guess is that there will be a new bldg for us next to it.
3. Got it from a good source that the walls are gone--no more human pinball for us. Touchlines are the way they're going.
4. We have 2 titles to defend!

Keep Jeff & Tiff in your prayers

Guys – We have someone on the team who is facing a serious “coraggio momento” – a moment of courage. I am very sadly informing you that Jeff D’s wife Tiffany has just discovered last week that she has cancer—again. She was treated about 18 months ago and went into remission, but in a recent checkup, doctors discovered some signs that another type has started. Jeff & Tiff have two kids ages 9 & 2. Jeff said that she is going in for a new non-invasive biopsy procedure very shortly in May to determine the exact nature and extent of the cancer. Then they’ll hopefully have a plan of attack.

Some of you may have heard her in a recent Sunday service share via a pre-recorded message of how God is using this episode in her life to speak to her lovingly and tenderly about living her life in faith, trusting Jesus no matter what happens. She is an admirable woman.

I want to encourage you guys to either email Jeff (rikareomdeling@comcast.com) or call his cell phone (see me for the #) and extend your support and encouragement to him. I think he said it well that sometimes when it comes to medical issues, its harder for the people around the one afflicted, because there’s not much more they can do except pray, love and wait for a good outcome.

So let’s pray for them, and see how we can help out Jeff's family in any practical ways as they arise. I’ll keep you posted as I hear of anything else.
