Summer
May 31, 2007 5:41 pmThank you for all your prayers! This morning Summer’s fever broke. Not sure when, but this morning she didn’t have a temp at the doctors. Very good news. They don’t know why her temp spiked, so they are watching her close, but for now she is doing much better. She can’t see Tatum until Friday morning, but Summer’s mom and myself are feeling in during the feedings and family visits. Thanks for everyone’s prayers.
I recently read a book called “Letter to A Christian Nation” by Sam Harris. The book is written by a angry atheist. It was a good read for me. I’ve never really listened to the arguments of a anti-religious person before. However, he was really calling Christians to prove with facts, figures, science, or whatever - God. Not so much Christ, but any God for that matter. I asked myself “How can I prove to people around me Christ exist?” Science tells us that everything the average person knows is broken down to 1/7 facts and figures, but 6/7 experience. I know God exist because I experience Him.
Last time Summer and I received a call from my mentor, John Battaglia. His a great leader and friend. He left a voicemail of encouragement and love. But he also prayed for us. I took my mobile phone, went to Summer’s bedside, knelt down and we followed in prayer with John over speakerphone. It was a simple prayer on my voicemail, but when we listened to it together we experience God in that room. I believe that is why Summer is feeling better today. I can’t prove God exist except through experience…but that is good enough for me. My wife was healed.

Summer and Chris,
Congratulations! Tatum is so beautiful! We heard the news via Shelly from Josh a couple of days ago and we have been praying! We didn’t know specifics so I checked the website this morning. God is taking care of Tatum, and both of you as well. Summer–let your mom wait on you hand and foot right now and rest! You will definitely need it and once Tatum comes home then it will be all about her! We love you and if you need anything, please let us know!

We love you! Aunt Jamie and Uncle James
Faith is a mystery to me…but I have learned many things from both you and Summer. I don’t pray all that often, its not my nature nor is it who I am however, I fully believe in it and I have seen and personally felt them being answered. Both of you mean a ton to me, you accepted me when you knew nothing else about me except that I was vida’s sister. You have felt the plethora of prayers and thoughts from all the people who love you. I just wanted you to know that I am one of the very many who are sending them out there. You two are incredibly deserving new parents and I am sure that this experience was put into your life for a reason…perhaps you will find out and perhaps not. Your daughter is gorgeous and she already has you wrapped around her itsy bitsy finger.
Your constantly in my thoughts.
Ileah
