Dear Friends,
I'm just writing to let you know that Sam Binion will be having surgery Monday morning to re-do the ureter repair that he had before. Hopefully this will be the last surgery needed. There is a possibility that Schuyler will get his catheter out and have his jaw unwired this week! Every little hurdle crossed brings some relief to their entire family. Tom seems to be getting along better with his knee now that he's had the surgery. He will get to be on crutches in about a week. With the determination that these boys have exhibited, they may all surprise us with a much quicker recovery than was expected.
On an unrelated matter, many of you brought food to the Robinsons, Binions and to our building. If you had a dish that needs to be returned, please let us know what it is so that we can try to get it back to you. Thank you so much for all that you have done to help. I'm reminded tonight of this scripture from Exodus 17.
" The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. Moses said to Joshua, "Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands." So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up--one on one side, one on the other--so that his hands remained steady till sunset. So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.... Moses built an altar and called it 'The Lord is my Banner.' For hands were lifted up to the throne of the Lord."
You all have helped to lift up weary hands during a very critical battle for these two families. May the Lord bless you all!
In Him,
Cristal and Deanna
Tiny fragments of a larger picture

Spent the last week or so pulling together what Dan left behind; his
pictures, meager possessions, and the fragments of our hearts.
We have spent hours go...

Kristie happened to see an old newspaper article about the boys, weeks after the incident. She did a search to find out what happened, and came across your blogs. We have been reading every day to see the progress on the boys. It sounds as if all three are getting better! Praise God! I know you are relieved...as each little miracle unfolds in these boys lives! I'm sure that at least one, or all three will be ministers of the gospel.
We are so sorry about Danny. It is true, you grieve with your Christian brothers and sisters. The "God Connection" (family) will always be there, no matter the miles or time. Our prayers have been going out for you. If there is anything we can do to help, let us know.
Love in Christ,
