John now a Doctor

Thanks for your prayers for John as he returned to the US to defend his doctoral research project on Oct 22nd. John passed! In fact, he said that it was stimulating and at times fun. The discussion will make the project better. John has some minor revisions to complete and then wait for official graduation in December. More information on John’s research is at http://www.gospelrest.com/research.
John was able to visit both our kids, Tim and Beth, along with his mother. All are very well. Beth is doing very well expecting in just a few weeks. We both plan to see the kids just before Christmas and before our first grandchild is due to be born.
