A Servant's Prayer

Jesus, MY Jesus... How marvelous your ways...
Far more splendid than my mind can envision. What an
honor to be chosen by you. A lowly child I am, but empowered
by the Holy Spirit to fulfill the great hope to which you have
called me. I give myself totally to you, Lord. Take my imperfect
heart and make it perfect. Peel away the hardness. Close the doors
I have opened to the temptations of this world. Gently remove the
roots of painful memories, sins, doubts and fears. Discard anything
that separates me from you. Lord, fill the emptiness with the light of
your love that I might be a beacon calling the lost back to you.

To love as you love...
To serve as you serve...
To heal as you heal...
To forgive as you forgive...
always mindful of my nothingness while doing
great and marvelous things in you name and for
you glory. This I pray, Jesus, in YOUR name.
Amen
<><

Catching up...

Good Afternoon CER's!
I have some good news... My father is doing much better today - the meds are kicking in! Even the sore on his foot is healing up finally after months with wounds that wouldn't heal :) And I finally got things straitened out with my bank... and I got my $600.00 back today! :dance: What a mess, but they did a pretty quick job of fixing it so far and have adjusted all the fee's... yeah!!!

As for my dear mother... she is still on pain meds till she can get in for the MRI... she has an appointment for May 31st. The Dr. told her she definitely has something there - the bile duct is twice it's size... but they cannot get the machine till the end of the month. I guess there's only the one machine --- how frustrating! I have been calling her whenever I can just to keep in touch and make her laugh. That's part of the reason why I did not come back as I said I would. Please forgive me :sorry: I get overwhelmed very easily these days and just do my best.

I also want to share with you that I have made a deal with my hubby to turn off the computer by 8:00pm --- he feels that I am on it way too much and gets concerned for me. I get headaches from eye strain lately... so that limits me just a little bit... (well, EXCEPT on THURSDAY NIGHTS - that's when he has choir practice ;) I'll sneak on then :lol: ). It's not that Joe is restricting me - please don't think that - he is just concerned for my well-being and rightly so... I am on this computer allot! I am so addicted to it --- if I am not on-line I am organizing my files which I have to do again! I have gotten so many lovely graphics and siggys these days :D Or I'm playing with the Paint Shop Pro I have (I really want to lean how to make my own graphics, but no success there... YET!)... I had a Wedding Shower to go to Sunday and we have a First Communion this coming Sunday and we have gone to Birthday's in between and some coming up... so I am making allot of cards these days! That is time consuming on the computer too, not to mention the embellishing I do afterwards on them... fun too.

*~*~*

Michele, Are you leaving soon? Oh... just saw your post... you are leaving on Memorial Day... cool! I hope that you see this and know that I am keeping you in my prayers for a safe trip there and home again and for a wonderful, wonderful visit!!!
*Have a Great Time!!!*


Teel, I am so sorry I missed you when I was on line before ;) I didn't see you, cuz sometimes I'll be on line, but posting elsewhere on 3fc's I am getting everyone their siggy's ;) I will see what I can do to get you one, okay ;)

Don't feel bad about your weather sweets... we are having yucky weather too!! Only 54* right now and rainy, :rain: rainy, :rain: rainy... and it looks like it will rain all through the Holiday Weekend! :dizzy: And all that wet really works on your injuries like your ankle --- I know, my ankle and left knee feels it too!! :grouphug:

Sounds like your renovations are coming along nicely!! How far has he gotten? Almost finished?


Margie, Thank-you also for your thoughts and your prayers... :flow1: Joe is hanging in there... his BP has gotten a little bit better, but not as much as I hoped! It was 134/88 still yesterday and I'd like to see that lower number go back into the 80's! He has been walking with me every other day still :crossed: I have gotten in 27.5 miles in so far for May... not nearly what I was last month, but I have been consistent with walking. I honestly don't think I will hit 50 miles this month, but will give it a try ;) You have done a marvelous job Margie!!!
:bravo: GIRL!!! :bravo:

I STILL haven't done much with my gardens... they need weeding so bad!!! I started to get some done, but with all the rains lately they are shooting up like crazy :dizzy: The perennials are coming along real nice - they love all this rain, but I have annuals to put in. Not to mention that Joe & I have a garden to make yet for veggies :o We are beginning to think it's not gonna happen this year at this rate :(

The recital sounded great! *Sleeping Beauty* They do take allot of time to do, but they are so rewarding... glad to hear that it all went well.

Margie, I have a siggy for you too ;) I will PM you the first chance I get with it, okay...


Rachel, Thanx sweetie for all your prayers! They are working :goodvibes I have heard that *Star Wars* was awesome from allot of people, but they also said it was real dark too... because it was when Darth turns evil... ooooo.... I hope you had a good time with your friends ;) Cool picture!

Congrats on your W & M!!!! You are doing so well! :cp:

Have a WONDERFUL time in CHINA!!! WoW! 19 hours :eek: Allot of time change to adjust to... I cannot wait to hear all about your trip when you get home sweetie! I am praying for you and mom :flow1:


Gary, Oh my GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!! Lara is a BEAUTY!! I am still seeing her as a little girl from the first pics you sent us --- my my my... she has sure grown into a lovely young lady!! Beautiful!! And so is the Dress! Great color on her! Gary... how old is Lara now? I am sorry... I lose track allot these days...

Awesome news about Jaun Gary... I am so glad you got to see him and what a honor to bring him to his home! The *JOY* they must have felt!!!

I'm so glad to see Angie figured out the graphics and got your siggy in --- it really fits you :lol: I am always looking to see what I can find for you - it's tough cuz there's not much out there for guys. But I liked this TeddyBear so much and couldn't wait to get it. Glad you both like it too :D

You had that *scope* done? I am suppose to have it done and am so scared to! I got a referral from my GYN when I went last week, but haven't done anything yet about scheduling one. But I have too... I am so glad to hear that you had a clean bill of health :cp:

Now... now... you cannot blame your dogs for being dogs!!!! :rofl: You are the one who left the sprinkler system on for them :lol: :rofl: I laughed so hard reading your post!!! What a vision & what a mess that had to be :lol: Sorry to hear of their infections and the cost... quite a lesson for you all I think ;) :flow1:

Would you do me a HUGE favor????? Would you please send some of your sunshine and warm temps our way??? We are desperate here in NE OHIO!!!! Cod Liver Oil is selling off the shelves (Vit D)!!! Hehehehe... :lol: Joe is even talking about buying a tanning bed this morning he's so desperate! I'd love to have one!! But we have no place to put it :D

*CSI-Vegas* It was a two-hour show Thursday. Oh my, what an intense show that was!!!! I couldn't imagine being buried alive... just couldn't imagine!! My worse fear ever... *Survivor* I was thrilled that TOM -the firefighter- won the $$$ He so deserved to win that game!!! I was jumping for !JOY! when I saw he won! As for *A-Idol* I am hoping that *Carrie* win's it, but I think that *Bo* will by popular vote - not necessarily because he is the better singer. He is so loved by the gals... but I think that they will both do well!! Remember in the last Idol - *Rubin* won, but *Clay* is actually more successful then he is... I wouldn't worry about the second place person at all ;)

How wonderful that Ron is doing so well and has gotten some GREAT reports!!! Wishing you well this weekend on your BIG GRAD Party for the kids!!!


MKay, Thank-you sweets... I try... he's my sweetie :bubbles: I am so glad to hear that you are doing better. Some days are so hard aren't they?! I had a tough day on Sunday, but all better now.

How is your sweetie doing today? Did you ever get your foot massage? :^:


Wilma, How are you doing these days? How is your Dear Father doing? :grouphug:
How work coming along? Hope all is going well :goodvibes:


Nancy, You have a kitty named *Trouble* cute!!! I had a puppy named *Puddles* once... names say it all sometimes :lol:

How is your Dear father doing today? IS he doing better now that he is home? Most times recovery is better at home :goodvibes

You are doing so well with your program --- :cp: --- keep up the marvelous job Nancy!!! New dresses... how sweet of Ron!! :dance:

I don't know what I'd do if I didn't walk... glad to hear that you and Ron go together too. It is nice when you can go with someone, isn't it? I was walking alone before (not really - I was with GOD ;) ) but it sure is nice to have Joe with me now :D As for Joe's BP... it seems that the SALT is harder for him to control. He eats out with his buds during work days and that food is salty! I make him lunches everyday, but he sometimes catches breakfast out with them. He is aware to watch his salt now and he tries.


Sue, My friends had a great time camping!!! They cannot wait to go again, they couldn't say enough of how peaceful it was... now if we could get some nice weather to STAY with us! We are back into the 50's!!! :dizzy: You???

*Prayers* for all your clients!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...flowerbowl.gif
Jenni!
Loved hearing all about you!! Sounds like you have a lovely family :goodvibes
I do hope that you will come back and keep us informed on how you are doing!
Losing 26 lbs is pretty *AWESOME* Congrats!!! :cp:

We have allot of patience here... no worries there.
We were all new once too :D


:wave: *Hello's* out there to all my other MIA CER friends... :wave:

*~*~*

So what are you all planning for the Memorial Holiday Weekend?
We wanted to spend the time planting, but it looks like RAIN all weekend
AGAIN!! Don't know that we will ever get that veggie garden in! :dizzy:
Maybe on Monday...

Forgive me if I have forgotten someone - I didn't mean to :)
I'll try to pop in more often, promise... I'll try ;)

*May God Bless You ALL!*

prayer request
 
Hi, guys! I'm very tired this evening, so I'll keep it short. I've been having health problems lately and I would appreciate your prayers. I had thyroid cancer (very tiny) 2 years ago and had most of my thyroid removed. Well, now the small part that was left is enlarged and my dr. thinks there may be cancer again. I have to go in for a scan next week and I will find out the results the following week. I have been doing ok, but tonight I feel sad and scared. I know that keeping a positive attitude is a big part of the battle, but I am having a hard time doing that tonight. Please pray for me and my family.

Thank you!

doitforme 05-25-2005 08:58 AM

Hi!
 
Jenni- I am up lifting you to the Lord, prayers for health and comfort during the waiting phase, sometimes I think that is the worst part the waiting to have a test, and then the waiting to hear how it came out. I pray forgood results and that the Lord will give you peace and comfort during the wait.
Sunny- so happy to hear your dh/dd are feeling better- continued prayers for mom, and joe's bp- I am leaving for camping tom. rain or shine. I am sick of rain, it has pretty much rained everyday for more than a week, sounds like EZ needs to get busy sending us some sun, so we can enjoy memorail day weekend.
Lateralus- have an awesome trip, prayers for safty traveling
Mitchy- prayers for safety traveling and for a wonderful time with family and friends.
I am doing great. My sister got notified about the adoption we should be traveling to China in 5-8 weeks, the baby's Chinese name stands for intelligent star, she is 10 months old, as soon as I get apic I will share. I haven'e seen her yet, my sister is suppose to e-mail me it. Well gotta run going to buy steak that is on sale at price chopper, having steak friday night to celebrate bil birthday, his favorite meal. Happy birthday Jackay! Try to post before I leave tom for camp. Have an awesome weekend, God Bless!

Jenni...

I am so sorry to hear that you are having to fight such a battle. You have the right to feel as you do... you feel it and then give it over to God. He can handle it ;)

"My Dearest Father, we have a prayer for you...
Lifting Jenni (& her family) up to you with her fears and pain of what is to be.
May she feel your Comfort and your Love, knowing that you will
take good care of her. And we ask that you guide the Dr's that
tend to Jenni, leading her to good health once again.

We ask this in your Precious Name, Jesus.
Amen"

Peace Be with You, Sweetie...

Wednesday
 
HI GALS :beach:

I am home today, for awhile, a lot to do. Guys are coming to put up a new awning.. :cp: shade for the graduation party. We tore down the patio about a year ago, termites and age, just never figured out what we wanted. This should be good for us, it is fairly large and retractable...even has a motor so Ryan won't have to go outside to roll it up...just push the button at the sliding glass door ;) ...Now! I'm not saying I don't trust my son to watch the house while we are in Washington, I mean he is smart enough right?...Magna Cum Laude...it's just, well, when it comes to "household" things...well...ah..let's just say if it doesn't involve some type of ball or other sporting equipment...well, he is "CLUELESS!" :lol: Sometimes I wonder :yes: if he doesn't bring someone in to feed and care for the dogs when we leave for a week at a time..

awning guys here......

EZMONEY 05-25-2005 11:25 AM

SUNNY So glad Joe finally put the reins on you ;) I know exactly what you~Joe~we all mean about the computer habit! Sometimes I have to mention to Angie that she needs to "sit" in the living room while I watch television instead of sitting in her office at her computer ;) . Sometimes I wonder how skinny I would be if I gave up computer time for exercise...sometimes, I think that...but then I come to my senses :lol:

As far as my "scope" goes...other than the pain in the you know what for the prep work...it was easier on me than the TEETH cleaning I had the day before...I HATE to have my teeth scraped! I get cleanings 4 times a year, since my gum surgery several years ago...I honestly would rather have a root canal done that a cleaning! But then I think my dentist is awesome..he knows that I don't like novacaine...the numb feeling iritates me...so he does what he can without it...he knows my pain level...I have had tons of work over the years and never left with severe pain or discomfort...he does say I have a high tolerance...cool :cool:

Glad to hear your dad is better, PRAYERS for your mom's health!

Speaking of Vitamin D~ did you see the new tests that some people may be getting cancer because they USED sunscreen and it screened out the sun's natural Vitamin D? Weired.

Taped CSI but haven't seen it yet..sooo busy...heard it was good. Like Carrie still...still think Bo is going to win...but I think both kids will be fine. Missed the last Survivor...we were gone, like the outcome though.

SUE You should be warming up by now ;) Such a cool name for the baby...intelligent star...just like her Aunt Sue :yes: :queen: :yes: Have a great time when you go. I hope the :rain: gods are good to you on your camping trip. Enjoy your dinner with your bil.

Well, Lara's team won yesterday in their game...and my alma mater won their play-off game, so both teams are in the semi-finals, playing other teams..if both win on thursday they will play each other for the county championship in their division...large schools...each school has almost 4,000 students.

Had a birthday party for my neice after the game yesterday, Ron's sister...she turned 10.

Well, need to get going..........

Have a great day ladies!

doitforme 05-25-2005 12:10 PM

Hi ya!
 
Thanks for my name tag sunny! now if I can only figure out how to get it to post. E.Z. Thanks for the sun shine way cool if we end up with a nice weekend, she is a budda baby and so cute going to try to post a pic. her name will probably be kalee at least that was last name picked. but here goes.

Margie B. 05-25-2005 01:01 PM

Hi ya'all
 
jenni - many, many prayers for good results, I loved Sunny's prayers, have repeated it over 2 or 3x for you today. Please keep us posted. You said you know where Huntington is, are you from there? :?: I now live about 20 minutes or so from Marshall U. I know what you mean also about times being hectic, DD gets out of school on Friday and we are leaving from school to go to the beach :cool: and I haven't even started packing or cleaning out the car! Tonight hopefully I can get going, tomorrow nite have several meetings and she has tennis, youth group, etc.

Jackay - Happy belated birthday from me too! :D The 13th would have been my grandpa's birthday, he was also born on Friday the 13th! Hope you had a great day. :D Come back soon and share with us.

lateralus - WOO HOO - leaving today!!! Prayers for a wonderful trip and safe travel. Be sure to get up and move around some on that flight, maybe do some sitting exercises too, - don't want any blood clots! HAVE FUN!!!!! :smug: :smug:

doitforme - The baby's pic is so cute, - makes you want to give her a big ole hug, bet Auntie can't wait to get her hands on her! :) Still walking with Fred, suppose to meet tonight at the park. We/he haven't said anything about dinner, - so far just a good walking companion and that's okay too. Said he was going to bring me some strawberries from his garden tonight, - yum, sounds good to me! :) Enjoy your camping this weekend, I'll try to send some sunshine your way also, :cool: - rain or shine, it's still fun!

mkay - are things slowing down for you any? Hope you're getting Mem. Day off, you certainly need a break! :^:

SunnyD - thanks again for starting the new thread for us, love your Patriotic Liberty - it's 'beary' cute, love patriotic themed stuff and there's so much to choose from! Good news about your DF, Joe & and bank account! We'll continue prayers for your DM, hopefully it will be something simple that can be cleared up quickly. Sounds like you've been crazy buzy too with birthdays, communions, showers and all the time you spend on the computer. I know also how addicting the computer can become, especially when it's something you enjoy doing. ;) Joe's BP is still pretty good range, some people just have a naturally higher BP than others, when I was skinny (long time ago), mine was naturally low.

27.5 is still good mileage for the month and hey, you still have several days left to get some more, - keep up the good work! In between raindrops, or so it sometimes seems, I have now got six of my planters filled and one large container, then I've also done the hanging baskets and porch boxes, with some more to go. I'm going to put my few veggies in containers this year and try that out, get tired of mowing around them! Need to get some more dirt and finish the remainder of my containers for the back yard. . . oh well, after the beach. :cool:

Did you hear Bo sign acapella last week on AI? That was awesome! Carrie was off a little in the final song with Vonzell, don't know if that will count against her. Last year was Fantasia but I was for Dianna Degarmo, thought she was much better and you don't really hear about either one of these girls. . . wonder why? I agree though that you do hear more about Clay than Reuben, of course I think that had a lot to do with the genre of music that Reuben chose perhaps?? :?: We'll keep a look out for the siggy, - that's sweet, wasn't even expecting it.


EZ - you bum, don't you ever work? :p Teasing of course, :D :D especially when I would like to have a couple days off, - oh well, vacation next week, can't wait! Sounds like you're getting a little bit of everything done around the house, - care to come to Ohio??? :dizzy: I've got all kinds of projects that need worked on.

I'll try to get back on-line before Friday, we're leaving at 1:00 EST for the beach but would like to catch up with everyone and their prayer concerns/outcomes, etc. Have a great day all - hugs & prayers - Margie
May total miles = 44.88

Jenni...prayers for a positive test! God is with you all of the way.

Sunny...what foot massage? :mad: No...I did not. I love all the name graphics...you are such a good and kind person. Thanks!

Three-day weekend coming up. Yipee...

Michele...be careful and have way too much fun.

laterus...You're probably gone already, but do have a wonderful trip.

Margie...I will slow down...really I will.

Not much to report...Hugs All!

Thank you, all of you, for your prayers. I have felt better today and really didn't think about it much which is a blessing in itself! :thanks: You are all wonderful!

mnewton 05-25-2005 03:51 PM

Well hello everyone!!! :wave: It has been a long time since I have been able to post. I tried to catch up but couldnt. :stress: I did see there were some new people who joined the group!! Welcome. :flow1: I have been MIA for awhile. My husband and I received the news the same day that we were both being laid off in June. :( June 15th for me and June 30th for him. So we have both been out making connections and getting interviews. We both have interviews tomorrow PTL!! God already had something in store for us! We have not had any worries, just peace from day one. :cb:

May 3rd was my daughters birthday then May 20th was my husbands and now my dads was yesterday. This month has been full of birthday celebrations. :hat:

:flow1: :flow1: It is in the upper 70's today and supposed to be in the 80's tomorrow and the rest of the week. So I am sending all of this wonderful sun out to you guys!!

I see that alot of us are going on some really nice vacations in these upcoming weeks and months. I am going to Ghana, Africa with my sisters July 18th -July 30th! I am so excited!! :yes: This is something I have wanted to do for so long. God really opened the doors on this one!! The hardest part is leaving my family for that long. I have never been away from any of them for more than a day. :( So that is going to be interesting. As well as seeing how my husband handles the kids while I am away. :tantrum:

Summer is coming and school is almost out!! I cant wait. My kids and I go to the beach every single day in the summer. :beach: I love it and they really enjoy the water. This will be the first summer that the baby (Xea) will really get to enjoy the beach. She was only 5 months old last summer. :bb:

Well, I will try to post more often!! Just checking in!

See Ya! :goodvibes

Hey Margie! I grew up near Charleston. We now live in sunny Florida! :cool: :sunny: :beach: But this past week it has been cooking (near 90's)!!! :flame:

mkay 05-25-2005 10:37 PM

Jen1teacher...my sister lives in Florida...the east coast. I love it there. I don't mind heat/humidity.

Myshia...it has been awhile. I'm jealous that you get to go to Africa. I would like to go there as well. Prayers for your safety.

I can't believe I'm online at night. I'm usually on during the day at work :nono:

I cleaned DH's and my office tonight so I burned a bunch of fav songs on a cd and I wanted to listen to it...so I thought...why not go hang out on the thread.

Michele...are you at Yarn Cafe?

Sunny...I know you are wanting to post but it's nice that you honor DH suggestion that you are online a bit too much. You are a good wife.

Since I'm a good wife too, I'm going to go massage DH's swollen foot to move the fluid. I've been better today...some revealations came to the forefront today.

Hugs,

Hi !
 
Sunny- Thanks my dear not only for the graphic but also for the computer lesson. The bunny is so cute! Prayers still for dm and continued for Joe, dd and you! Yes she is adorable! I can't wait to hold her, we go in 5-8 weeks, the info said she can sit up, roll over, she talks some, and she can be obstinate, which tells me she recieved more attention then most, Her blood work is all normal and is suppose to be very healthy. She is a cutie. Thanks for all you do for everyone else, you are sweet sweet lady, especially taking time, during all that going on, to find signatures for everyone. God special blessings on you!
Margie- speaking of sweet ladies you are no slouch either. Thanks! I can't wait to hold her, its so nice to have a picture so we can get excited, we haven't gotten much because we didn't know how old she would be, let the shopping begin. Please yes send sunshine, sunny would love some too! Fresh strawberries, you can send some of them too. Prayers for fun and safety at the beach, and that things continue to grow between you and fred if its ment to be.
Myisha- prayers all goes well with interviews today! God must have a plan! Wow! Africa! Ghana - do you know what you'll be doing there? - a missions trip but building, or teaching or what, what a special way to serve, God bless you and your family!
Jenni- so glad you had a better day, (easier said then done), try to caste all of your cares on Him, God will take care of you!
M-Kay-Hi there! so glad things are doing better! Fun to kick back and listen to a cd its relaxing, you are a good wife, and you work hard, so try to get some r &r this weekend!

Hi all!
 
Hi all my wonderful CE'rs :wave:

Sunny~doesn't surprise me that you would be so respectful of your DH, especially when he wants the best for you, but please don't stop posting often when you are on, i miss your posts. And how sweet are you to make all these cool siggys for everyone. Very good job!!

Mkay~you are so dear....

Sue~what a cute baby, prayers for family.

I'm still not packed, way behind, but it'll get done. I ended up not having to work at all on Sunday, so woohoo!! :dance: Can't wait to get to CA!!

Speaking again to my pastor friend from Mississippi....too soon to say if anything will happen, but we'll see. :love:

doitforme 05-26-2005 10:10 AM

Mitchy-
 
Thanks ! Have a wonderful, relaxing vacation! Wonderful visit with family and friends, and best wishes w/ pastor friend.

Mitchypoo 05-26-2005 10:15 AM

Jenni~i didn't forget you sweets! You will be in prayer too. Prayer is powerful, it comes from our heavenly Father.

finally ready 05-26-2005 04:22 PM

Haven't been home much, our son-in-law got hurt in his softball game Sunday night, he slide for home, and he went one way and his ankle and foot went the other.He has a third stage hit to his ankle, and tore his tendons in his calf, so he will be hopping around for a while, so I have been helping out with watching the kids, getting Des ready for school, cleaning up the house, as our daughter isn't home too much with driving him here and there. Ron was off today so we went to the Scholastic Books Warehouse sale. We always buy the kids these books from school they both love to read, and at this sale everything was 50% off, so we got $67 worth of books for $31. There next sale is in December and I am already looking forward to it, great for Christmas.


Sunny:
So glad to hear your Dad is feeling better, it takes a load off ones mind just to hear them say that, good job on getting your money back, I'm still remembering your family, especially your mom and dad in our prayers, it's so hard to wait for tests. My dad is very content to be at home, he is much more relaxed as he can get up and do what he wants, when he wants, I'm just placing him in Gods hands and know He will watch over him until He calls him home. Sunny have you heard of a product called Salt Sense? This might help Joe kick his salt intake, we have given up using any extra salt in our cooking but if something just has to have some, this is what we use, you can't tell the difference, I also only eat either reduced or sodium free crackers and saltines, I have turned into a label reader, I figure every little bit helps. No real plans for Memorial Day, Ron has to work, don't know if the shop will be busy or not, and later we'll B.Q.Enjoy your week-end and hope you get your garden planted.


Jenni:
What a scary period to go through, I'll be praying for you and your family, keep postive thoughts.

Gary:
Thanks for the sunshine our town could use some.

I hope everyone has a funfilled blessed week-end.

Nancy

Thursday Night
 
HI GALS :beach:

ALL RIGHT DONNA...TELL JOE ...''THAT IS ENOUGH!''...we want our GRAPHIC GODDESS BACK :lol: KIDDIN' JOE :lol:

HEY, HOW ABOUT CARRIE!!!...MY AMERICAN IDOL TEAM-MATES....EITHER WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE, BUT ALL ALONG MY FAVORITE WAS CARRIE.

MARGIE I WORKED TODAY! ;) ...you are starting to sound like my wife :lol: Bo was great last week, but my heart leans a little more country than rock and roll...not much...just a little...PLUS I liked the other rocker better...forgot his name...Constantine?. Some good football players come out of Marshall.

SUE HEY GIRL...don't you know you can't show me a picture like that of your future neice KALEE.. WITHOUT ME wanting one too!! OH my goodness what a cutie pie...I LOVE HER ALREADY! She is so blessed to have you as her AUNT!! Happy camping.

MICHELE Boy girl are you gonna love the weather here! We have been in the low 70's or higher...not too hot...warm though. Good luck with the pastor friend...luck with the "cops"! at the wedding.

MKAY Revalations? Good for you! You are gonna make it dear..know why (?) 'cause you keep trying!! Blessings for you and Gary.

NANCY OUCH! that had to hurt your sil. That could take a long time to heal. Sending more sunshine :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: :yes: :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

MYISHA Hope all things work out for you and DH. My daughter's friend is going to Africa to do mission work with her aunt and uncle. Prayers.

JENNI Prayers.

WILMA Hope all is well with your dad and family. Prayers.

SAMI and SHERRY...what's up?

SUNNY Well, how are you doing girl?...withdrawls setting in? :lol: I know you will find the right balance with ALL things. Still have not seen our tape of CSI...glad you didn't give too much info. on it. We have been so busy, yesterday after work I went to my friends son's high school play-off baseball game, I try to see at least one game a year (for the last 10)..the kid really likes it when I come.

Well, having a TV repaired...they called to say it is ready...gotta go...

Gary, Thanks for all the sunshine... it WORKED!!! It has been sunny all day and it actually went up to a perfect 75* with a slight breeze :beach:... just a perfect day! It feels wonderful to have all the windows open... *Thanx!* :bubbles: Yes... I did see that tidbit about the suntan lotion blocking the Vit-D... too funny. First they say NO Coffee; the a cup is fine now I hear that you can have up to 3 6oz cups a day and that it's good for you! When it all boils down... EVERYTING IN BALANCE is the answer :df:

Did you get the awning all up? Bet it looks nice... something how it takes a party or a move to get things done around the house that you have always wanted to do to improve it :lol:


Sue, How cool! I am so glad you are wearing your new siggy :) It is so cute on you!! It sure fits you :flow1:
Kalee is a Beautiful name for the baby... she is so adorable! Have a great time camping and relaxing over the weekend ---> sending some sunshine your way :sunny: Thank-you so much for keeping my parents in prayer... it means allot to me :goodvibes


Margie, You are very welcome... I saw the thread was getting a bit long ;) Usually around 9 pages I will begin a new thread.

Whew... boy do you sound busy :spin: Things are finally quieting down here for me... looks like a fairly calm weekend. We'll have a very busy Sunday w/ a Birthday & F. Communion Party to go to, but Saturday and Monday we hope to be home planting and working in the gardens :crossed: all weather pending. I haven't gotten much done at all --- I have planters to fill and a veggie garden to fill... not to mention all the weeding. But when Joe & I do that together it's allot of FUN! I look forward to it! Boy... does the beach :beach: sound great! It's still way too cool here for the beach, but I cannot wait for it to get warm enough to go. You have a great time!

Sounds like Fred is a pretty good friend... so is my Joe... :chin: hummmm strawberries, eh... That's how our relationship began too ;) (hehehehe)

*Thank-you* for your continued prayers for my DM... she is hanging in there. She gets the MRI done this Tuesday - none too soon. Joe's BP has gone down a bit more and he said that he is really enjoying the walks :D He pulled ME outta bed yesterday :lol: I have 30 Miles in right now for the month...

Yes, I heard Bo sing A'Capella... just Beautiful! Did you all see *A-Idol* last night? It was an awesome 2 hours!! Joe & I really enjoyed all the music! But you sure can see/HEAR that the ones who got voted off should have been after getting back with Bo and Carrie... those two are AWESOME! Especially when they sang together!! I have had Carrie picked out to WIN ever since the auditions - I am so glad that she WON, but saying that... Bo will go far too! I KNOW someone will pick him up --- he was so Awesome last night too! It should have been a DOUBLE WIN! A little-bit Country and A little-bit Rock -N- Roll... they sound great together! And they did win cars :D YES! But I think they over did the Paula/Simon thing for sure... couldda left that ALL out :yes:

I sent your siggy through a PM some time ago... go check your PM ;) 44.88 Miles!!! Awesome job there girl!! :cp:


MKay, you okay??? You don't say much these days... I bet you are just feeling overwhelmed. I get like that too sometimes. I hope that you have a chance to enjoy your 3 day weekend and catch up with yourself :grouphug: Music will sooth you everytime :bubbles: Feel better... :goodvibes

Jenni, I just want you to know that we are all here for you! That's what we are all about... support for one another especially in times of NEED. I am glad you told us how you feel and do hope you know how much we care. I have a siggy for you (the graphics w/ your name) --- it is soooo cute too!! You let me know when you are ready to add it into your signature and I will send it to you (via PM) w/ the instructions, okay ;) I cannot wait to show it to you :flow1:

90's! We just made 75* today :D We are suppose to reach the 80's by the weekend... time will tell.


Hello there Myisha! Long time no see! It's so good to see you back :dance: I am so sorry to hear that you are both being laid off in the same month... my goodness gracious :stress: But I see that the Lord is coming through for you both --- with new job opportunities --- how :cool: cool is HE!!! I will pray that it all works out for you both! ;)

:hb: to all those in your family :cheers: And keep sending the sunshine our way --- it's beautiful!!! That trip to Ghana, Africa sounds awesome!! I bet you are getting so excited about going and yet apprehensive about leaving the kids... is Mom (from either side) close by? Just in case hubby needs a helping hand ;)


Michele, No worries... I will still be posting. He has practices on Thursday nights 7-10pm, so I have time then too - like tonight ;) Oh... I don't make the siggy's sweetie -- I HAVE THEM MADE by some very talented ladies :D I still have allot of learning yet to make them on my own. Glad you all enjoy them.

Nancy, Good to see you again too... thank-you so much for keeping my family in prayer in the midst of all your troubles. You are so kind!! I am glad to hear that your DF is holding his own and happier at home. No... I haven't heard of Salt Sense, but I use Salt-free spices all the time. When he eats at home he doesn't use much at all - it's when he eats OUT that's causing some problems. But I will look for it when we shop over the weekend, okay. Thanx!! I hope we get to work in our gardens too :crossed: You have a pleasant weekend, Nancy...

Hey, y'all! I hope everyone is doing well. I've been busy (of course!) the past couple days, cleaning the house yesterday :) and took the kids to the beach today :beach: :sunny: . We are all exhausted :yawn: Thanks again for all of the prayers and well wishes. :thanks: It really means a lot. I'll let you know the results of the scan when I find out. I've just been trying to keep my mind off of it by staying busy and praying a lot. I know the Lord will provide no matter what the results are. Sunny, I'd love to see the siggy! :yes: Thanks!!!! Well, I've got to go get rid of all this sand!!!

Hello Karla... good to see you drop by again :) Sounds like you have been one very busy gal! :dizzy: We cannot wait for you to have your own computer up and running again so you can come more often, but we are glad to see you pop in when you can :D

Joe & I were hoping to get in some gardening this weekend too, but it is still raining like the dickens out there :tantrum: We won't be able to do it tomorrow either because we have church and then two parties to attend... so we are hoping for Monday all to ourselves with some good weather :crossed:

Whew :stress: *Body for Life* that's a tough workout :wl: Good for you!! :cp: Let us know how you are progressing :bubbles:


Okay Gary... EZZZZZZZZZZZ :lol: You know how quiet it gets around here during the holidays ;) I thought you were busy!?? Don't you have a HUGE party tomorrow you are suppose to be getting ready for? :D

It looks like I posted just after you last time and I just now saw it! :eek: Sorry I missed ya... I was on Thursday night :lol: Glad to hear you missed the :queen: of Graphics :lol: YES!!! I miss not coming on in the evenings... but I think I will survive :flow2: I broke the bargain with Joe on my first night! :lol: I totally lost track of the time and was on till 8:45 :doh: :lol:

I am glad I didn't say too much about *CSI* too! I would have been bummed if I spoiled the show for anyone :o Joe still hasn't seen it so we'll watch it together maybe this evening (I'll see it again w/ him).

How did the game go??? You are such a good guy :sunny: Wishing you and Angie the best for Sunday's party!! Have a great time and may everyone make it SAFELY home :twirly: 75+++ I bet!!! Their friends always bring friends :lol:


Hi Jenni! :wave: I sent you a PM ;) Ohhhh that beach :beach: sounds lovely!! :sunny: I am so glad to hear you had such a wonderful time... it's so good for you ;) We will appreciate it allot that you let us know what your results are of your scan... may it be clean! *Prayers* :grouphug:


All are welcome anytime... I sent you a PM just a bit ago in reply to yours, hope you got it ;) As I stated in there... it is very quiet right now with the holiday weekend and such... but most everyone will be back by Tuesday to chat away. Share anything you are comfortable with, we will do our very best to be here for you --- be patient, okay... sometimes LIFE gets in the way of us stopping in to post, but we read and pray for those needs even if we cannot always be here to post :goodvibes

Do stop in again when you can :bubbles:

I hope that everyone is having a Marvelous time
with their friends and family --- be Safe and Happy!

Been busy all day working on things for the party...I'm in charge of the beer! ;) I had to sample some to make sure it was good. The ex came over and her, my neice, and Angie whipped up 120 cheese enchiladas for tomorrow, tacos will be made tomorrow. Lara, Amanda, Ron and I did outside stuff, yard work, chair cleaning. Ryan was at the CIF track finals...several of his girls qualified for the state meet in the jumps! that is 2 years in a row with different schools some of "his" kids have gone to state...in California that is quite a honor for the amount of athletes.

Pictures of pre-set up....Ron's planter box of veggies....the new awning...the new garage doors.

Have a safe and wonderful holiday. Prayers for our military!!

Mitchypoo 05-29-2005 11:58 AM

Hi all,
Sunday a.m. and i have so much to do today around the house, then have to take Simba by 4 pm to be boarded (pray for me cuz i already dread the thought of her not being here tonight), then i leave for the airport around 5:30-6:00 tomorrow, i have to go drop my car off, get a shuttle to the airport and i get into la around 11, get my rental car and then to my folks house. We're having a BBQ/Birthday party for my family friend Sandy, should be nice to relax with the family. I'm so excited about leaving but anxious too. I shouldn't be on here, but wanted to say Happy Holiday! Remember our wonderful military men and women, all those we've lost and those that are serving today. I'll try to check in and post pics whenever able. PRayers to all ofyou!

wilma12 05-29-2005 11:16 PM

Hi everyone! I just wanted to thank you all so much for your prayers. I have really felt them. My dad had a very severe stroke and was paralyzed completely down his left side. He passed away early Thursday morning. He was lucid for the first 4 days and I wouldn't trade them for a minute. We were able to communicate with him and basically say our good byes to him. The last 2 days he could communicate with a wink and hand squeeze. I feel blessed to be with him the last week of his life. It was also a real blessing to be with my whole family for the time also. It was a real time of bonding. I did a lot of mourning in the hospital. The hardest part right now is watching my mother. She misses him so much and is having a hard time. She is a strong person and I know she'll be all right but that doesn't make her hurt any less. If I could ask for more prayers it would be for her. She is going to have to go through her years of firsts without dad.

Thank you again for your prayers!

EZMONEY 05-30-2005 02:14 AM

Wilma, I am so very sorry for you and your family. My continual prayers for you and your mom!

jen1teacher 05-30-2005 11:52 AM

We're not doing much today, my husband has to work today. :( and we all went to a birthday party yesterday and I did laundry. :dz: We might go to the mall or somewhere later just to have something to do. :shrug: I like lazy days!

Wilma - Such sad news. I will be praying for you and your family.

Mitchy - Have a fun and safe trip!

Gary - Beautiful home! Have fun!

Sunny - Thank you so very, very much! I love the new siggy!!! It's so cute.


Take care everyone and have a great holiday!
