For the past four days, Marie has been severely ill from an accidental exposure -- resulting from an unannounced change of ingredients in a previously well-tolerated product.
On Sunday, she was able to eat small meal: She is doing better and should be able to participate in the SBU Trustee meeting this Monday and Tuesday.

INSTRUMENTS OF PEACE, Minimizing Further Harm: In order to minimize further harm to those involved, several individuals will be notified by mail concerning the events of the next week. Those individual letters should be arriving on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (May 6 - 8).
Additionally, the letter to the pastors of First Baptist Church of Bolivar should arrive within that time frame. The pastors will be asked to intervene by taking positive action in this situation. If they are unwilling or unable, the pastors will be asked to deliver the letter to the Southwest Baptist University Board of Trustees, who will be meeting on Monday and Tuesday, May 10 and 11 at SBU.
If the issue remains unresolved by that Tuesday, the Missouri Baptist Convention will be asked to intervene.
REDIRECTION: Although substantial alterations have been required in order to accommodate the significant changes in the situation, we will be working with First Baptist Church of Bolivar this week to effect a resolution. (see post here).
NEXT POSTS - Thursday - Saturday, May 6 - 8, 2010: Several letters, including the letter to the pastors of First Baptist Church of Bolivar, Missouri.

Behind the scenes, there has been much activity within the several week.
In addition to the sudden and difficult illness of one of the principals (which has delayed the proceedings for the last two weeks), changing events required extended revisions and adaptions.
Now that these are resolved, we will begin several postings, as soon as possible.
