After the normal process within the church, Terry (along with 5 other men) is now a deacon at the Jackson church. He and these other men join the existing 'crew' of 8 men doing the work of deacons at our congregation. He's so humble about it all, which is how it should be. It was funny last weekend. We were talking with the boys about how church service was going to go and how it would be different from the normal service... Brent said, "Yeah, I know..daddy gets to become a deacon!" I said, "That's right-" Brent continued as if I hadn't spoken, "I'm so glad he doesn't have to work at TG anymore!" I asked him what he meant and he replied, "Well, being a deacon is gonna take so much time and work that he won't be able to work for TG anymore!" So of course, I discussed this all with him and explained that people who are elders or deacons are like the preachers, in the sense of them being paid for their work. I just thought it was interesting. LOL
But then it dawned on me (in the middle of the service, no less!~) that I'm a deacon's wife now! LOL I don't know why I hadn't thought of that before, but I guess I had just focused on Terry though it. Who knows. Anyway, it's a humbling thing.
The other thing happening is that we are heading to St Louis tomorrow morning to see Dr. Worth again for the boys. Primarily, this is a reevaluation from last year, since we didn't do the therapy that was suggested to us. However, there are also the other symptoms and signs that we're seeing with C that we want to talk about. And it's these symptoms that make us more and more assured that he needs these therapies and so we're going. Hopefully, we'll know more tomorrow night.

Wonderful! Terry is a deacon now ... a title for that which he has long been doing. Amen! It is a high compliment to both of you that he was identified for this office. This is as it should be.
I'll be interested to hear what Dr. Worth has to say this year....
