Carrie Stoelting meets Bob Dole

Many of you might remember Carrie Stoelting, a guest we had on Mornings who sings with her sister Stacie. Well Carrie had the privilege of meeting Senator Bob Dole, here is what she had to say about it:

"Last week, I received a phone call from Senator Bob Dole's office. He was coming to Des Moines and wanted to meet with me! I was invited to be his guest at a special breakfast in Des Moines. You see, a few weeks ago I wrote a letter to Senator Dole requesting a meeting. (I have wanted to meet him since I was nine.) When he campaigned for president, I wrote a letter of admiration to him and I requested to have his autograph. To my surprise, when his wife came to Cherokee in 1995, she made a special presentation of a signed picture to me! I will never forget it! The experience was life-changing for me. Ever since, I have very much wanted to meet Bob Dole, too. Now, 13 years later, I met him at last. How I thank God for the opportunity! Stacie and I attended the breakfast and enjoyed visiting with Senator Grassley as well. He is a blessing and we appreciate him so much."

Here are some pictures of Senetor Dole and the Stoelting sisters....

Prayers for Karleigh Ann

Dennis has asked for us to keep his Grandaughter in our prayers.

Here are a couple of pictures of little Karleigh Ann. Thank all of you for your prayers. She will need multiple surgeries as she gets older. Her heart is flipped backwards and she has some holes and veins that aren't positioned correctly. I was blessed to hear her cry and could hold her for the first time Saturday.

A Cool New Car

Dennis from Indiana has the coolest new car! It is a Smart Car and quite a bit smaller than the truck Dennis drives as part of his job.

Here's what Dennis says, "It is gas only. Premium. 45 to 50 mpg. Our cars name is 'The Black Pearl.' Steve Martin drove one in the movie The Pink Panther."
