February Getaway
Jack and Anita were blessed with some time away together in February, just the two of them. Anita said they got lots of rest, were soothed by the blue ocean out their window, took a carriage ride around Nassau, and generally enjoyed getting away and just being together.
Wedding of the Century
"Wedding of the Century!"
That's what Jack affectionately called it, when he shared this attached photo from daughter Stephanie's wedding. She was able to move the ceremony up from June, so her dad could be there in full form. You can see from the picture, he was!
(Pictured left to right: Anita, Henry, Stephanie, Jack, and son Charley.)
Their church in Jacksonville scrambled to put together a beautiful ceremony and perfect reception - in just nine days! What a gift to Jack, Anita, Stephanie and Henry!
Do you have some recollections from the wedding YOU'D like to share? Post them to "comments" below this entry. Or email me at cindyabell@gmail.com - with comments or photos or anything you'd like to add. I'm sure Jack - and the rest of us - would enjoy them.

Wednesday's Community Gathering
We were glad to get an update from Jack himself in Community Gathering in the CBF resource center this morning.
He looked happy reporting the wonderful wedding of his daughter last week in Jacksonville, praising the beloved community there who rallied to put on a fantastic celebration in just nine days.
A friend there got him into the Mayo Clinic for four days of consultations. "That's how medicine should work," said Jack, explaining how the doctors work together and share information. Tests confirmed what had been thought.
The next course will be to do some chemotherapy in a week or so. The chemo is, as Jack called it, "pallative chemo" which may reduce the size of the tumors and potentially reduce the pain.
I think he said he'll start it in two weeks.
He also shared some incredible joys awaiting him and Anita. One is the visit from Singapore of a couple of former students of his, coming to share the love from all the people there whose lives he's touched. The pastors there pooled their resources to send these representatives - I think Jack's greatly looking forward to seeing them. Also due soon for a visit is Lillian Lim, a coworker who heads the seminaries in Asia.
Better, a generous friend is whisking Jack and Anita away this weekend for a long romantic getaway... in Atlantis, Bahamas! Just what they need, some sun and a stroll on a sandy beach, a sunset and a smooch. Jack had pointed out earlier that all of us here, the CBF community, are "family" to him... thus, we're thinking he should take his "family" with him to Atlantis!!
However gracious Jack is, he just gave the famous smile but didn't offer room on the airplane. :)
