Recent Photos of Asher W/Visitors and Friends, September 10, 10 AM
Asher has had a good week this week. In one day he learned how to dial a phone, write on a computer key board which allowed him to surf the web, brush his teeth and feed himself. It is amazing that some of this is done by attaching a pencil to his wrist and hand splint. Asher was so excited about all that he learned that he called everyone he knew to tell them.
Everyday is a new day filled with both the mundane as well as the challenging for Asher. All of his therapist continue to tell us that he works really hard in all his sessions and never complains. Asher has told all of this therapist that he is determined to be as independent as he can based on his present physical condition.
Asher, who is lying in bed as i write this, has asked me to also share with all of you that he is depressed and sad right now and it is all over girls. he also wants me to share with all of you that he cried yesterday, because he was so sad.
hopefully today will be a better day for asher. 2 of his closest friends, mark and josh are here. they faithfully come to see asher every week. there are no words to describe what their friendship means to all of us.

Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem,

Andy,

What great pictures! Thank you.
GOD doesn't allow more difficulties
than HE equips HIS children to handle.
It's all for their good and HIS glory.
When we obey, HE brings more challenges
and new heights. Praising Him and faithfully
doing what HE gives us to do is the path.
Physical problems don't keep the right girl away,
so there's no need to be worried about that.
Just trust our HEAVENLY FATHER for the best.
It's good to know that Asher
has a heart to share concerns,
so extended family can know
better how to pray.

Great news about the film festival! Maybe a Chattanooga showing could be arranged when you all return? And thanks so much for the updates. Asher, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
