It's a... baby. Plain & simple.

This week we went for an ultrasound... found out some exciting news. I figured I'd leave a link that all our xanga friends could find the news, even though I'm not keeping this blog too current.

This is for all my CCS / LeSEA friends and church family far & wide. If news didn't reach you already, Kevin Ferguson passed away last week.

The viewing is later today, Sunday, January 14 from 2-6pm at Palmer Funeral home on Michigan & Chippewa across from Calvary Temple Church and the funeral is Monday at 11am at Trinity Evangelical Free Church on Miami Road.

I got a text message last Wednesday to tell me the news from one of the guys that goes to the youth group where Kevin's oldest son John is a pastor in the youth department. From what I've heard from my family and friends, no one had heard from Kevin in a few days and John had the police break in to his home to check on him. They found him in a chair with a Bible in front of him and he had already passed away. They suspect health problems with his heart or diabetes but nothing has been said officially aside from "natural causes." I don't know any more than this so please don't ask me, but do send up a prayer for John, Mikey, Sarah and their mom Irma and family.

I've known these guys since they moved to South Bend and I went to school with John since 3rd grade... roughly 18 years. If you've been around CCS for any length of time you've run into these guys at any given function, outreach, missions trip, or cafe concert night. Though I haven't worked with John in a youth meeting like we did for years since the church split and he was let go, I was glad I had the last saturday of September off to attend his wedding, and he and his fiance (now wife!) attend mine. Mikey has been in my middle sister Aliya's class from k5 though graduation and Sarah has been a friend of my youngest sister Genna since... they could talk. Irma was mom to youth group kids, her tough love earning her the affectionate nickname, Irmanator.

Please join me in supporting them any way you can through this loss. Your prayers are coveted for them, and if you can make it I know how much it means to have the support of friends through a death in the family. eB
