Videos! And an update on Bobby (and me.)
If you’re not into reading X-rays, let me explain it to you: see that big crack in the femur? Yeah, that shouldn’t be there.
Two weeks ago my son Bobby (10 years old) was playing basketball. He fell backwards and everyone heard a loud CRACK! If you think that’s an unusual way to break a femur, it is. The doctors have diagnosed him with “fibrus dysplasia,” a weakening of the bone. That makes his already difficult recovery longer, and perhaps means he will need future surgeries to “augment” the bone.
Needless to say, it’s been a crazy few weeks. I was at the airport about to get on a plane to Michigan when I got the call. I had to cancel the event, but of course I knew the Holy Spirit would take care of it (He did.) To all in Wixon, sorry I missed out and hope to see you next year!
After spending five days at a hospital and two days in my living room (Bobby can’t yet climb stairs) I drove to Syracuse for the “Race to the Cross Rally” and then down to Philadelphia for the “Generation Phaith” conference. I brought my band with me and we had a great time, though my heart was a bit heavy with things going on at home.
And then on Monday, I flew off to England, which is where I’m writing from now.
How could I leave my family in such a state of crisis? I’ve been asking myself that, too 🙂 As we all know, sometimes things just need to get done. A residency requirement is part of keeping me in my doctoral program, but the good folks have shortened my time here so I’m coming home next week (instead of the following.) And thankfully my mom flew in to help around the house while I’m gone.
I’m grateful for all who have been praying for us during this time. Your love and support mean a lot.
And now for something completely different…
Videos! A number of my scripts have come to life over the past few months, and I’ve been delinquent in posting them. So here they are. Hope you are blessed by them and can use them in your ministry.

Praying for you all Bob!! Stay strong – all of you!
Thanks!
Hey Bob and Jen, I’ve been keeping Bobby in my prayers and hope he can recover as soon as God lets him! Hopefully that is fast! Make sure he gets enough sleep. I was told with me that sleep helps the recovery process.
Bob, keep the faith brother! I guess your Lent is taking on a new significance this year.
Bob – God be with u in Emgland will pray for speedy recovery foe.the little.guy!
What song was at Steubenville that repeats “I will follow you”? Do you happen to know? Oh, and best wishes for your son!
“Rescue” by Jared Anderson. It’s a great song!
