Dear Church Family:

Thank you everyone at service yesterday for rolling with things when I suddenly got sick. I hope I didn’t scare anyone too badly, and hope I didn’t spoil the Pentecost Party. (And for those of you that missed… look what potential fun you miss out on when you skip church!)

I want to assure you I am alright and have had no further issues for the moment, but that given some steadily growing symptoms of low energy and fatigue I am making a doc appointment and will seek referrals to some specialists with long medical-sounding names that end in “-ologist.” I appreciate your prayers (and your grace!) as I begin what may be a long exploratory process to figure out what’s up. 

I want to assure you glucose was not the reason for what happened and is being well controlled—I’m taking care of myself best I can. I don’t want to put you all through things like that if I have any choice in the matter!

In the meantime, please don’t worry about me. God and I talked on the phone today and He assured me I will be uncannily healthy with the energy of 1,000 men and a stomach of steel from here on out until I’m at least 112, after which we’ll renegotiate. In fact, He wants me to climb Mt Everest next week, which he says will be super easy for me, just to keep me from getting bored. 😜

Ok, not really, but still… don’t worry!

Much love and prayers to you all, 

Pastor Doug and the Abels
