Remember our Sick in prayer
Admit your faults to one another and pray for each other

Prayer
requests from Pastor Heron & our sister church’s
in Haiti
1. He has an immediate need to “get
back to normal” as soon as possible because he is
not as young as he use to be and it takes longer for him
to bounce back.
2. While he has received promises for funds
for the vehicle, he has yet to see the first dollar.
3. He is in need of staff but is not able
to pay them and does not like to ask them to raise their
own support. He desires to be able to at least provide expenses
and benefits. He is not there yet but the work is out there.

Our eighth has arrived! Henry the eighth, that is !
For academic people this now means we have children in the
class of ’12, ’14, ’16, ’18, ’20,
’22, ’24, and ’28. For soccer people,
we now have a U16, U13, U11, U9, U7, U5, U3, and U0. For
car people, we now have ’94, ’96, ’98,
2000, ’02, ’04, ’06, and ’10 models.
And if you’re none of the above, it just means we
now have a 15, 13, 11, 9, 7, 5, 3, and 0 year old J. Any
way you think of it, we are going to be joyfully busy for
quite a while!
So please join us in welcoming our redesigned ’10
model (four star crash test rating), U0 player (with his
first cap), valedictorian (so far) of the class of ’28,
HENRY KENNETH THOMAS
born on February 14, 2010 at 6:25pm, weighing 8 lbs. 15
oz., and 21 ½ inches long
We’ve had boys’ names for so long and not been
able to use them that we figured Jerome better cram his
dedications all together so that we don’t miss our
opportunity J. Henry and Kenneth are both Jerome’s
dear uncles, his mother’s brothers, and Thomas is
Jerome’s best friend from childhood. Uncle Henry is
himself named after our Henry’s great-great grandfather,
Henry Clay Vaughn, who was an escaped slave who went to
a four year black institute (before it was a college), founded
and pastored a church, and was the principal of the only
school for black children in his community. He also purchased
the land that has now been in the family for five generations.
Just a little Vaughn family history J.
So now it begins again, from scratch! We are trying to remember
what is specific to boys. While much is a blur, I do recall
that one has to be very careful when changing diapers. I
also seem to remember the Y chromosomehouses the genes for
that tendency to make the most common household items into
methods of transportation, construction sets, or, better
yet, weapons (complete with sound effects). Ah, it’s
coming back to me…
This also means that just in time for Jeraf’s graduation
in a couple years, Dad will have someone who is veryexcited
to open up the trunk full of Hot Wheels and equipment. I
will once again have a little one who is a veritable danger
to me, every one of his sisters, and himself J. And the
girls will have someone to unintentionally horrify by sewing
cute outfits for his action figures (because boys don’t
play with “dolls”, right, they’re “action
figures” – like I said, it’s coming back
to me…).
For those who are wondering, “Just how many are they
planning to have?”, our response is that we didn’t
plan the first eight! We just welcome and cherish them J.
So this may be the last one. Or not. After all, I thought
Elizabeth was the last one. And Gwen has put in a standing
order for twins...
Love,
Jerome and Leslie Vaughn
