Dodson News for April 8, 2020

Greetings to all for this Easter season although we can not get together with each other and celebrate with hugs and the good feelings times like Easter foster when we see family and friends. Hopefully, you can talk to each other and send greetings in cards and over the phone or with a text.

It is Palm Sunday as I write this, and I send you all greetings and Blessings for Good Friday and Easter Sunday! Prayers are with you for you all to stay in good health and that the Coronavirus epidemic shall come to an end soon and we can start rebuilding our lives.

We send prayers and condolences to all who have lost someone to this terrible disease. We hope all those who are suffering a loss of business and the shutdown of everything can overcome everything and get things back in some semblance of order before it is too late to start in again. That the school kids can get back to their education without suffering too much setback!

We send condolences to Jack and Ethel Siemens, our lay pastor, and our friends in the loss of her sister and to the extended Kienenberger families in the death of Charlie Kienenberger on Palm Sunday (But not from the Coronavirus). Charlie touched so many lives over the years — he will be missed. Prayers are with you!!

It has been so quiet and people are trying to stay away from each other but some of the school kids must be getting restless on the nice days as they are starting to bunch up and are traveling around the neighborhood more. Not very good to see at this point.

Thanks to anyone who has given me help in any way ---help is always appreciated and it has helped me to stay isolated.

Congratulations and greetings to all and anyone in our community having a birthday or anniversary this week.

Heavenly Father help me to remember to set aside time for You today. Silence my busy mind, calm me and let me feel Your loving presence. Amen.

I hope all goes well for you for your week — maybe soon we can see each other again. God Bless!
