I took Wendy to the Emergency Room at 6 a.m. this morning for dehydration. She got nailed pretty hard with the virus that my family has been suffering through. She was vomiting throughout the night and, after praying about it, we decided it best to go into the ER to be rehydrated.

After staying till noon, hydration returned to Wendy, but her blood pressure was low and her heartbeat high. The doctor thought it best to keep her for the night. She’s taking medications for nausea and she is being tested for viral infections. Maybe we’ll figure out what the Jeub family has been suffering with!

Please pray with us that Wendy will make a swift recovery. Lord willing, we’ll be out of the hospital in the morning!

I took six of the 13 kids skiing yesterday. What a blast. Though I personally spent the entire day on the bunny hill training our first-year skier, Tabitha, I wouldn’t trade it for an entire week on the slopes. I captured a great video of all of us skiing down Loveland. Check it out…

The Passover Seder meal is something my mother started when my sisters and I were kids. The tradition passed on into my family in the 1990s. To get the entire family together (two adult children with busy schedules), we celebrated tonight (Sunday), all 13 kids and 1 grandkid in the dining room.

The Jeubs prepare for Passover

I revised the script that my mom wrote in the mid 70s. You can view it here (Jeub Family Passover). The script does a great job tying the traditions of the Jewish faith with the parallels to Christianity. Enjoy the read!

If you are interested in celebrating the Seder with your family, you can do so this coming Thursday night. Jews all over the world will be celebrating with you. While they wait for the coming of their Messiah, you can celebrate with your children the reality of the coming of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the ultimate “Passover.”

Wendy and I and the 11 children just returned from a most beautiful wedding. Stefani Schultz, a widow we posted about early last year, was married to today to Todd, a father of four children. The story is a wonderful one, and I have a great picture…
