Friday August 26, 2010 "Back to School"
from Bob (dictated to Patra)
It has been a busy week for the Buggs. Our daughter Jenny began homeschooling Andrew (first grade) and she is very enthusiastic about his learning. As always, Jenny's schedule is full so we pray for her as she begins this new adventure.
Our grandson Austin started kindergarten in Gainesville and we love it when he calls us to tell us about his day. He is enjoying his class, his teacher and his new friends. Emily started a new job too. She is the director of preschool ministries at Westside Baptist Church. We look forward to seeing how God will use her.
(Austin's first day of Kindergarten!)
Our daughter-in-law Sharon is a reading coach in Tampa and had her first students this week. She sure misses little Avery and Riley while she is at work but tells us that her days are going quickly because she is very busy.
Adam began his last year of law school this week and will be interning with the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office. it should be a busy and exciting year for him.
Tuesday, Patra and I had a visit with a longtime friend and her mom. We attended West Flagler Park Baptist Church (Miami) together and went through elementary, junior high and high school. We had a wonderful visit talking about people that we knew and our days growing up.
It has been another good week for me. I have really enjoyed feeling better and last Sunday I was able to attend both the worship service and Bible study at church. It was a tremendous blessing and I had no problems.
Unfortunately last week, a good friend Will, passed away after a long battle with cancer. Will was one of the most faithful men I have known and he will be greatly missed. Patra and I pray that his wife will be comforted during the days, weeks and months ahead.
As always, we are so appreciative of the prayers of our friends and family. We know it is only by the grace of God and the prayers of his people that we have come this far in the journey.
"Dear God, we thank you for another good week. We are thankful for the opportunity we have to be with our children and grandchildren. Father I thank you for every day that you give Patra and me . We do pray for our friends that are going through the "tall weeds." We pray that they will be comforted by your spirit and that they would be encouraged by the promised of your Word. Help me to remain faithful to you. In Jesus name, Amen.
Until next Friday, God willing.

Boy, you have been busy, busy. Time goes so swiftly. How did those grandchildren get so big so quickly? Before you know it, they will be in college as are our two older grandsons.
It is great to know that you had such a blessed week.
We continue to pray for you every day and are most anxious to see you.
Lord willing, we will be back in Florida next week.
We love you; see you very SOON!
Lex and Linda
God bless you and your family!
