It’s time we should be getting on to bed, but I don’t think I can end the day without posting something. Our time together at Rudy’s celebration reminded us that with the heartaches of this journey come a richness we wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. We have felt such concern and support from so many over the last eight months, so it was so moving to have so many precious people in the same room. Even more moving to see people make the drive from places as far away from LA, San Diego, Santa Cruz and Sacramento. Thanks to all who came, to those who participated in the service and put on the reception. More to come, but tonight our hearts are so full. Thanks everyone!

Rudy's Beat 
Wish we could have been there. I can’t wait to hear more about Rudy’s special night.
So glad you had a special night! You all deserve it!
The drive was so worth it……we “would travel weary miles to see the sunshine of your smile!”….and how amazing was that! We did see Rudy’s little smile! What a change in our boy in just a few weeks since he was in Pine Valley for the wedding!
Love you so much!
Sorry we missed it. Can’t wait to see photos and hear details, I am sure it was wonderful!
An irony of Kingdom living is that God often becomes most visible to us during times of suffering and trial. That visibility comes through the tangible love of the Body of Christ and the shared carrying of each others burdens. It is a sign of God’s grace that we can simultaneously experience real fear, anxiety, and sorrow in our “flesh” while at the same time experience peace, hope and joy in our Spirit. This contradiction is the undeniable evidence of the “fingerprints of God” during the most difficult times, something that we are grateful that you are experiencing. Last night was a milestone moment – a time as a faith community to stop and acknowledge God’s love and presence in the midst of challenge and to give Him thanks and praise. What a sweet time it was!
We , also have had a Pastor Bob in our lives, now retired, he says it’s JB{just Bob}, but to us ….he will always be Pastor Bob. Faith has helped us; along with our friends, church family and each other…..prayers to all of you for many good days, Nick’s Grandma
So wish we could have been there! You were constantly on our hearts and minds yesterday and are so glad it was such a wonderful blessing! We look forward to reading more about it and seeing pictures! Hugs, Tom & Jeannine
I am so glad you had a great time at the dedication and reception afterwards. Wish I could have been there. I hope you enjoy the weekend–all of you together. I will be praying for you.
So glad to hear that Rudy’s big day was joyous! Our wishes and prayers were in the air, even though we so far away!
SO happy it was a beautiful party. We were with you in spirit yesterday even as we were feeling “under the weather” here in LA. So wished we could have come. Looking forward to seeing photos and hearing more details. Much love, Lisa, Paul, George and Nick Borkovich
So sorry we missed the celebration. I know you all had a wonderful day. Can’t wait to see the pictures so I can pass them on to the relatives and friends that have lifted Rudy and the family up in prayer. What a glorious day! Love, Cousin Dianna
