THE HEAVILIN HERALD
June 2010
Well, here we are in Kansas and the
events started immediately. Our
granddaughter Kate graduated from
Manhattan Christian College on May
8. Kate graduated summa cum laude
with a degree in Bible. She
graduated with a dual degree from
Kansas State, also summa cum laude.
Kate walked in the Kansas State
ceremony in December. She is now
among the millions of job hunters
across the US.

Nate, Deb, Kate, Matt, and Caleb
We drove from Manhattan, KS to
Peculiar, MO on Mother’s Day and
arrived in time for Matthew and
family to take us out to dinner that
evening.
The next day Marilyn experienced a
life-long dream as we were able to
attend Smucker’s Stars On Ice. At
the Meet and Greet after the show we
were able to meet Yuka Sato, Sasha
Cohen and Todd Eldridge.

We are staying here a little longer
than planned because our microwave
went out and we have been waiting
for the parts to arrive. They
arrived today!!! Yippee!!!
Because we had extra time, we were
able to do a little more sightseeing
than usual. We visited Independence,
Harry Truman’s hometown, and toured
some of the mansions there and the
city jail since we had visited the
Truman Library previously. We often
saw posters which are a silhouette
of Truman and are distributed all
around the town. Of course after all
of that touring, we had to stop for
ice cream at the drug store where
Harry worked as a teen.
This jail cell doesn't look very
welcoming, now does it?
While waiting for our rig to be
worked on, we had lunch at a local
Cracker Barrel and saw a Redlands
poster on the wall.
We had the joy of driving about an
hour away and meeting Julie and her
daughter Lindsey. Julie read I’m
Listening, Lord and wrote to Marilyn
asking how she could find more
copies of the book. Of course, the
Lord arranged it that we were less
than 75 miles away so this was our
opportunity to meet Julie!

We have some special prayer needs
this month. Will you please pray for
physical healing for our
sister-in-law Karen, Marilyn’s
brother Walt, and Marilyn’s cousin,
Al. Marilyn is doing well
physically. The Coumadin routine
seems to be very well established
now and there have been no atrial
fibrillation events. That is very
good news!
We plan to leave the Kansas area on
June 5 and head for Shipshewana, IN
and then on to Indianapolis,
Lancaster, PA and finally America’s
Keswick by June 28.
In His love,
Glen and Marilyn
