Woohoo!

On Monday I get the lovely privilege of going to the court house for jury selection for jury duty. Woohoo. Not sure if I'd like a break from the life of a SAHM or what. I'll update more when I get home tomorrow.

Battle wound

Justus got banged up a little bit today. He and a church friend were playing. The other little boy hit J with a golf club. Luckily they have some magic stuff called durabond....it's a glue like substance that hardens like super glue. They were able to use that instead of stiches. There was NO way stiches would have happened. I am so thankful he didn't get hurt worse!!!
How do you like that cheesy grin???

Sad News

Early this morning Clint died. I don't know any details other than it has been a LONG uphill battle. The medications did not work. His organs had difficulty keeping up with the meds. Aubrey has been there for almost two weeks. That is a long time to sit by and watch someone die, all the while hoping for a miracle. Several days he was unconcious and there was very little response from Clint when he was awake.

Please pray for peace within this family. Their names are Sherry & Jeff (mom & stepdad), Jessica (sister), Carly, Whitney, Aubrey (step sisters). That is the immediate family. Josh & Leah are still there as well. The funeral will be this Thursday. Josh will be part of it but I haven't talked with him today to find out if he is a paulbearer(sp??) or what.


Clint was only ninteen & proudly served our county.

Clint

Yesterday my SIL left for Texas to be with her family. Her step brother Clint has leukemia and was given a 30% chance to live.
Once she got there things got even worse when they discovered an secondary infection and changed his survival rate to only 10% percent. The only good news they have recieved is that the leukemia seems to have stopped growing while this infection has set in. So they think that his body is finally in recovery mode. He has had chemotheraoy without results. At one point organs started shutting down.


There are so many things to pray for but I am simply praying for wisdom. For the doctors & family that God will lead each step whatever that may be.

9/11

I still remember finding out that the planes had crashed into the WTC. I wasn't even scared; just shocked. Just one hour after it happened planes were flying over us ever fifteen to twenty minutes. We were on retreat with our MC in Ohio. It was our first week as Master's Commission Directors of our own group. We spent several hours glued to the TV watching & praying for the fire fighters & police officers. And those caught in the buildings. It took until late in the afternoon for the phone lines to clear up enough to get a phone call out.


I am still amazed at the hatred it took to carry out their plans and kill all the innocent victims... Today I looked at a slideshow of the construction going on for the Freedom Tower. We visited four years ago with our MCs from Florida. Then it was a HUGE whole in the ground. It doesn't look much different now but there is LOTS of construction.

Today I am thankful for my country, for my GOD, for our freedom; and for those who continue to fight for it. And for those who have lost their lives for my freedom. I am thankful that I am here safely at home with my children. I am thankful for Gods mercy. And for one more day to live for him.

My turn
