Good Morning!
 

Sunny: I see you there! Glad to have you back! I'll catch up on your post after work today.

I had a really relaxing Sunday. DH got called to work so I had the afternoon to myself. I would rather have spent it with him but sometimes circumstances don't allow that! I spent the afternoon doing my crossword puzzle and working on my quilt. DIL saw it yesterday and was quite thrilled with the way it's turning out. It's actually humorous to watch how excited she is. I'll take a picture of it and show it to you.

One more week of work and then it's a week of holidays. We're going to visit friends for a few days and then just stay at home for a few. We want to get the Christmas lights up before it gets too cold. I'm looking forward to getting out the decorations and start making it look like Christmas around here.

I am struggling with getting exercising again. I know my weight loss would be faster if I did but i just can't seem to get myself in gear. I would appreciate your prayers in this regard.

I would also appreciate prayers for youngest DS who is still struggling with his health. I think it's also affecting his morale. Hopefully he finds out this week what the specialist had to say. It takes so long to find out anything!

Well, gotta go get to work. Have a great day!

Good Morning! :wave: Happy Monday!

We're supposed to be in the 90's today! :sunny: It hardly seems like Fall when I'm still able to wear sandals and shorts. Oh well, I'm sure the cold and rainy weather will be here soon enough. I just hope it gets a bit blustery for some Christmas shopping time. That makes it seem so much more like the Season.

I spent the weekend with a girlfriend. We went to a wine tasting at a friend of her's very beautiful home. Everyone brought their best hors d'oevres and we had a ball. Yesterday we spent the day trying to get good pics of our dogs for our Christmas cards. We set up lots of Christmas "props" and she took my pics, then I took hers. It would have been easy if it had just been one person and one dog, but add our puppies into the mix, and it was chaos! :yikes:

We stopped at Starbucks... oh my, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is to die for! :coffee: They have Eggnog Latte and Gingerbread Latte also. I'll have to try those next.

I bought the last Mitford book at Costco yesterday, so began reading it last night. Has anyone here read Jan Karon's Mitford series? It's easy and delightful reading... I highly recommend it!

Sunny, your nephew is precious! Do you live close by so you can hold him??? I'm glad that you got your computer problems straightened out. Thanks for starting off our thread with the beautiful prayer.

Wilma, I'm praying for your DS. How old is he? Oh, and I'd love to see the pic of your quilt.

Gotta run... work is calling. Have a great day, everyone! :)

Yeah!! Sunny's back!!! Can't post much now. Going over to my friends house to help her with her twins and going to help clean house. But i'm so happy that we have our Sunny back!!!

Hi everyone!:) I'm kinda new to posting at the 3FC forum here, but I'm getting more regular! My name is Hilary and I'm 17. In my signature you can see my journey will be long, but with the Grace and Strength of God I know I can do it (also, with support of fellow Christians):).

I was going to head off to school late but I'm just not feeling well enough. I think I may be getting a cold and I already felt sick to my stomach to start with:(. I know I'm new, but any prayers would be well appreciated!!

Have a great day all!

pixiefalls - Welcome to 3FC! I'm Rachel, I'm also 17, although next month I'll be 18!!!! :D

I've been here on and off since April, sometimes taking long hiatuses to focus on work. But I've been steadily losing since April! I have about the same goal you do, (I lowered my goal to 125 instead of 135 because at my height, barely 5'2'', I don't know if that is low enough for me to be satisfied!) :)

Just take it one step at a time, I know you can do it!!!! :goodvibes:

Hey Rachel (pretty picture in your signature)! Awesome :hat: ;)!!

I came in August, but got off track when I wasn't losing anything. It's different now though :yes:! Ahh, well see I'm 5'6'' so I wasn't sure what my goal weight should be. I guess we'll both have to wait and see!

Thanks, I have faith in you too :^:!

Monday Night
 

HI GALS :wave:

Hi everyone. Well we made it back from Las Vegas in pretty good shape. Angie and I lost only a few $$$...less than a hundred, Amanda didn't have much time to play but did win $50 with a twenty that I gave her...she is smart enough to not gamble with her own money...she played black jack with her boyfriend at Mandalay Bay. Angie and I did what we usually do...Nothing! but walk around a lot and of course eat! We spend way more on food and drink there than gambling. We ate lunch at the Toby Keith's "I LOVE THIS BAR" at the Harrahs...it was good....but.....$6 for a domestic beer??? "Aw! Come on Toby"! :cry:

I spent Saturday afternoon in the room watching the USC WINS!! game, I don't like to watch with a lot of people because I like to really see and appreciate what they are doing now...doesn't happen often to be #1 in the nation for so long...if it was a regular year and game I probably would have found a nice sports bar. Angie went to the outlook mall while I did the game, Amanda was at the conference and Zac was out spending his $$$.

WILMA~ Prayers for your son. Prayers for you on the exercise too...but really dear, it's up to you...as you know...Angie is in a rut right now too...just can't seem to get up and going at 5am like she used to, or the yoga after work and weights, if you lived here in :sunny: sunny :sunny: California you two could partner up...hummm.... ;)

PIXIEFALLS~ :welcome3:

POOMOM~ Nah! It's easy to get to Carlsbad...15 to 76 to 5 to C-Bad Blvd! Now, if you do get to the FORUM...keep going to STAPLES CENTER and watch the LAKERS! ;) Angie and I have been wine tasting~~OF COURSE!~~ in Rancho Calif., we even spent our honeymoon...with our 3 kids :lol: :yes: :lol: at Embassy Suites there almost 10 years ago.

RACHEL and MICHELE~ Good to see you lurking!

LORI~ Picked up a post card in the Calif. desert and one in Vegas for Abbi, sent them today, Angie just got home from work and a few from her class wrote on ones I picked up last week from our area, I will get those in the mail tomorrow.

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: GRAPHICGODDESS :hug: :hug: :hug:

Prayers for your mom and grandfather....what a CUTIE!! your nephew is! :yes:

Well, Need to take out the casserole....later gals!

Gary: I'm more and more inclined each winter to move to a warmer climate. It's been pretty nice up til now. Today I am sitting here while a storm is raging outside. It's the first of the season and the snow will probably stay for the winter. I like the snow but have real problems feeling safe on the roads. I do drive responsibly but still there is a fear especially at the beginning of the season.

I do know that exercising is up to me. Somehow the motivation I need has eluded me. I will get going again. Maybe just a slump!

Sunny: It was so good to read your post and to see your new nephew. He's adorable. I bet Auntie Sunny is going to spoil him, right??

DS is still experiencing respiratory problems. He finds out this week whether he has asthma or not. His supervisor from work called him today and told him they are working on moving him to an area in the business where he can do his IT support via chat rooms in stead of talking for eight hours. We're praying for him to get into there soon. He needs to be working until he decides to go back to schoo.

Work has been going really well. I am feeling more at ease in my position and everyone around me seems to be adjusting as well. I am looking forward to my holidays though and being able to relax a bit.

pixiefalls: Welcome! You will find the support you need here. We have a great bunch of people here who really care about each other.

Have a good night!

I haven't been around because I've been under a lot of pressure. My grandma is not doing too well please PLEASE pray for her. Her name is Carolyn.

Hi guy!
 

I been so busy at work, but should be slowing down abit now, all the audits are done. For at least 6 months yeah! Wilma- prayers for DS that they get him into the new position quickly and the Dr. is able to treat him and bring his breathing problems under control.
Sunny- wow! your back, it is you, what a cute nephew! prayers for Grandpa, and glad you got your computer problem fixed, mine has been really slow today, don't know why. don't be a stranger.
Pixiefalls- welcome, wow two mom to 5 prayers soon feeling better
Lori- keep your chin up it'll soon start dropping again! You have done awesome!
Lateralus- prayers for your grandma thatr she is soon feeling better
E.Z.- wow! sounds like you had a good time in las vegas, Mandalay Bay is where the PBR finals are held, I watch the PBR almost every weekend, and look forward to watching the finals Whats for dinner! (cassarole) Maybe I'll pop in for leftovers. (ha ha)
I am going down to see Carole tonight at Sunnyview a rehab center, her trach is out and she is doing well with just about everything but walking, and still isn't eating enough still has stomach tube. But pray she continues to recover well. Gotta go do my devotions wanted to pop in and say hi. Hi to all others i missed, catch ya later.

New kid in town
 

:) I am pretty new to 3FC and my head is still spinning from all the great forums and helpful links, etc. I am a sister in Christ and would love to have encouragement and give encouragement. I am so tired of this "mental brickwall" that I have had such a problem with breaking through. I know what I should eat and exercises I should do; I just need the extra motivation to get going. So here I am.

Hi everyone. :^:

Hi Everyone! :wave:

Been awhile since I've been on here - things here are about the same - crazy as usual! :dizzy: Weighed in today and I'm happy to say I'm down 2.8 pounds! I sure was upset about not losing the last couple weigh-ins - Thanks for all the encouraging words!

SUE: I will be praying for Carole to continue her good recovery!

BETH: :welcome3: You will love it here!

RACHEL: I'll be happy to pray for your grandma.

WILMA: I will be praying for your DS. Although I love the snow, I know what you mean about driving in it! I have spun out on more than one occasion on icy roads - the problem is that now that our winters are warmer, we get the ice much more than the snow. That's just not safe for anyone!

GARY: Thanks so much for the postcards for Abbi! I ask her everyday if any arrived yet and she always says "no" - but she is my black haired Indian BLONDE! :rofl: That poor girl is confused most days! Vegas sounds awesome! Was there back in 1970 and I'm sure it's totally different now!

PIXIEFALLS: :welcome: This is a GREAT place!

MICHELE: Can you come over to my house and help me with MY twins and terrible BOYS!!?? :dizzy:

POOMOM: I would LOVE to see the finished pics of the pups!!!

SUNNYD: HELLO!!!!! :hug: So happy to see you!! I will be praying for your grandpa and mom and everyone else involved. Your nephew is a beautiful baby!!

HI to everyone else! Have a GREAT rest of the week!

:carrot: :strong: :jig: :dance: :ebike: :dancer:

This is what I woke up to this a.m.!!
 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...12/Nov1544.jpg

See that pile of snow? That's my van under there. It took me 20 minutes to clear it off. DS cleaned the rest of the parking area and made sure I could get back into the house when I got home. I got to work safely but then got stuck in the parking lot. Luckily I have wonderful co workers who helped push me out. It was really slow at work so I got a lot accomplished.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...12/Nov1543.jpg

Ooooooooooooooo Wilma!! It's GORGEOUS!!!! :snow4:

Thanks everyone for the wonderful welcome and prayers:).

Welcome Beth:)!

Wow Wilma that's a lot of snow! I live in Arkansas and I'm just not used to it that much;).

Hope everyone had a wonderful day!

Wednesday
 

HI GALS :wave:

I hope you are all doing well today. I have a few minutes to spare so I thought I would check in. I put pork chops in the crock-pot this morning and Angie is going to her monthly BUNKO game, so i have time before dinner to chat.

My step-daughter is off to New York checking out colleges, daughter and son still at work and knucklehead nephew is out weeding the bank, working for some extra $$$ for an I-pod case.

My daughter's boyfriend's dad is stable....thank you for the prayers! :yes:

WILMA~ Love the pictures! A little different in "OUR" weather here yesterday and today... :yes: :sunny: :yes: It has been in the 80's here.

gotta go~ Angie came home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm Bbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaacccccccckkkkkkkkkk
 

I'M BACK GALS ~ OK coast is clear Angie is off to BUNKO~~ sorry I had to exit so quick, didn't want her to think I was taking it easy.. :yes: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :yes: RIIIIGHT! Like I could get away with anything with her :no: I wouldn't let her "OWN" me if I didn't love :love: :love: :yes: :love: :love: her soooo much! :hug:

WILMA~ Didn't have a chance to tell you that I just love the fact that your son was looking out for you on your arrival home!! I can't express how important it is to look out after your loved ones! It is so nice to see you asking for prayers for your boys and seeing the things they do for you! So cool his supervisor "looking out" for him too!

LORI~ GREAT :carrot: :balloons: :cheer: job on the loss. You are my favorite LOOOOOSER!!!!!! :D (for the moment)...! Sent Abbi post cards this morning (ran out of stamps yesterday) so she should receive about 10-12 total, a couple of days apart in the next few days. Let me know if she needs more than that and I will come through for you/her. Sent some out of the zoo, Sea World, Vegas, Calif. desert, San Diego, Oceanside, etc.
So you haven't been to VEGAS since 1970?!! WOW!! You may (?) be able to tell by the postcard I sent on how it has changed...but, oh my goodness! It is so cool there now...not sleazy (although IT is there)...but on the strip everything is pretty nice...I wouldn't say "FAMILY", but there are a lot of kids around. As I mentioned, Angie and I usually go on off days, walk around a lot, the shops in the casinos are amazing now, eat toooo much!!, drink tooo much! and gamble a little. They have a tram now that covers most of the strip...we get cheaper rooms at the Luxor usually, then just take the tram to the "NICE" casinos. We really enjoy it there, for a couple of days...then time to come home!

BETH~ :welcome:

AUNT SUE~ Glad carole is doing better. Oh, my casserole dinner the other night wasn't that good...good thing you didn't make it...however, come over for leftovers tomorrow! my pork chops and rice/gravy were awesome! tonight. I'm thinkin' we set up "our" neice with SunnyD's new nephew ;) Such a cute couple! Plus she will be older and WISER!! OK? What is the PBR?...Mandaly Bay is so cool....they have a giant tower of wine! Of course Angie and I can't afford to go into that restaurant...but we can look~ie~lou through the windows!!

RACHEL~ Sending up prayers for your grandma!

Well off to spend some time with my daughter....Gary

Hi everyone! I've been having trouble with stress this past week.. not sleeping so well or eating much.. it's a big jumble before the holidays here, but I'm not going to be discouraged:).

Gary - it's good to here he is stable, I will pray for him.


I hope everyone had a wonderful day and made the most of it! :hug:

Hi all and welcome to newcomers. Sorry to be so abrupt, but i just wanted to say hi quick and ask for prayer. I was in an auto accident today, my aunt was driving and a car took a left hand turn right in front of her, i don't think either of us were really hurt, but i'm so sore and i'm a bit scared that it did more to my back. Please pray for healing if you can.

I'll post hopefully more tomorrow, but wanted to say hi, and yes Lori, i'd love to come help you! And Wilma, snow.....Ewwwww!!!! ;) It is pretty, but seeing it and remembering being in MN, i just had to say, EWWWWWW!!!

Good Morning!
 

Michele: My prayers are with you that your back wasn't affected by your accident. I also said EW to the snow. This is a record amount for our area and we think it's here to stay. DS has been getting a workout with all the clearing he's had to do. It is pretty but what a mess. The streets are still treacherous. It takes me 3 times as long to get to work as it usually does.

Pixie: Take care of yourself. HHHUUUGGGSSS to you.

Gary: Thanks! I think my guys are pretty special. Sometimes I feel they take what we do for them for granted and then they do something like this and you realize that they are growing up and those good qualities are coming through. Send me some of your 80 degrees. It's -25C here today. I don't know what that is in fahereheit but it's cold. We are known for our sunny, cold winters.

i would like to ask for prayer for today. My manager and I have to sit down to discuss some issues with a new employee. This is not my favorite thing to do and I know it won't be easy. She keeps overstepping the boundaries of her position and I don't know how she's going to handle being talked to. My devotions this morning talked about being gentle with those around us and that's how I'm going to try to handle it. I'm just glad that I'm not doing this alone. Thanks!

I'm off to brave the icy streets! Have a great day!

Hi Everyone! :wave:

I can't believe the scale but I'm ECSTATIC!! Weighed in today and lost THREE more pounds! That's 5.8 this week! I guess I'm making up for that stall! It's 25 total now!! I'm so excited! I wanted at least 25 off by Thanksgiving and by next Thursday I hope to have more off!

It's COLD here! It was 17 degrees this a.m. and I drove the kids to school. They usually stand up the street for the bus and it's up a hill and that wind really blows! It's really cold for this time of year - and last week it was 80!!

WILMA: I hope everything worked out ok with the employee. Are the streets getting cleared off? It sure was a pretty photo!

MICHELE: Are you feeling ok? I hope you aren't too sore from the accident. How's your aunt?

PIXIEFALLS: Hope things calm down for you - I keep telling my kids that Christmas is NOT about THEM! That it's about Jesus! That helps a little bit - otherwise they are bouncing off the walls from now until after New Year's and at 50 years old, I just can't do that much excitement! :rofl:

GARY: I'll let you know when the postcards start coming. So far, my ditzy Indian "hasn't seen any!" :rofl: I have lots of people that responded so I KNOW she has to have gotten some! Vegas sounds awesome!

HI TO EVERYONE ELSE!!! Have a GREAT Friday!!
:carrot: :strong: :cp: :dance: :ebike: :dancer: :turkey: :thanks2:

Thursday
 

HI GALS :wave:

Hi ladies, just got home from work so I thought I would check in while I have my :coffee: ... :lol: :lol: :lol: ...NOT! drinking :coffee: ...had two pots of that already today...and it is 80 degrees and :sunny: here WILMA!

LORI~ I can't see you!!!!!!!!!! WOW!! You have lost about half a 5 year old :D You need to take a couple off just so you can have all you want at Thanksgiving and maintain!!

REMEMBER GALS~~~THANKSGIVING IS JUST '' ONE DAY ''...DON'T GET ALL EXCITED AND BUMMED OUT OVER EATING THAT ONE DAY...ENJOY YOURSELVES WITH YOUR FAMILIES....GET OUT AND WALK IN THE MORNING! :happ3:

WILMA~ Prayers for your work situation! and for warm weather!

PIXIEFALLS~ Prayers for your holiday stress :stress:

MICHELE~ Prayers for you and your aunt in the accident!

Well I need to go get the bratwurst on the grill before Angie gets home and starts in her :drill: "Where is my dinner?" :drill: voice............ ;)

Today has been the best I've had in a while :carrot:

Mom2fivesweeties - Good job on your weight loss!! Thank you, you are so right! Once this Tuesday comes around I know things will be much better;).

Michele - I will be praying for you, how are you doing?

Wilma - Thank you, I will;). I'll also be praying for you:).

Gary - Thank you as well! That's right! Thanksgiving will be wonderful to spend with my family (I love the holidays) :carrot:. Wow, 80! It's below 30 here and I didn't have time to get used to the up-coming winter weather that usually comes in December not November! Oh well, it's another beautiful day and that's enough to be embraced :^:.

Have a great night everyone! :hug:

Thank you all so much for your prayers. I really felt them. God really gave me the right words to say. The meeting with the employee went much better than I expected. I think deep down we all know where we need to improve but if we aren't pushed to do so we don't bother. She was willing to work on the areas she need to improve in so we'll give her a chance to improve.


Lori: You are doing so incredibly well! :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: Keep up the awesome work.



the weather here has been really strange. We went from 12C on Friday to -25C today and tomorrow is supposed to be back up to 0C. That's the freezing point there. There is such fluctuation in temperature that it's so hard to know how to plan. Maybe the snow will melt a bit this weekend.

We are going away this weekend to visit friends. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again. I am on holidays next week and plan to get going on my Christmas shopping, decorating, etc. AND just relaxing a bit too.

Good Night!

Wilma, the snow looks kinda inviting. Then again I don't have to shovel it. I lived in Minnsota for 4 years and I really miss the change of seasons. Up until about 3 or 4 days ago, we were still having very warm weather.....well upper 80's - 90ish. It seems hot when you are really looking forward to cooler weather.

Thanks everyone for making me feel welcomed.

Mitchypoo - I'll keep you and your aunt in my prayers. Even fender benders can be troublesome. A little bit of pain, car repairs, insurance companies, etc....yuck.

Wilma - my prayers to you and your boss for patience and guidance in dealing with your co-worker.

Lori - you keep on "rockin" girl. What a loss. I hope to report to everyone soon of more loss. The holidays will be trying.

Pixiefalls - I can empathize with you. I sometimes feel "bogged down" right about now. I have 4 teens at home. 3 his, 1 mine and a new job and classes. I am getting better at juggling. However, I am really looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas mainly to breath, enjoy family and reflect on the year.

Everyone - you all seem so sweet and awesome. I feel like a little kid. I have never been a member of any kind of forum and this is all new to me. I think I am hooked.

Take care!!! And keep up the good work.

Victory Everyone!!

I am Victory, and I am a Christian who is in the process of losing weight and gaining my life back. I have been in my life style change for the past 2 weeks and I have lost 16 lbs. Please keep me in your prayers as I "Get what belongs to me".

God Bless you all, and keep up the good work!

That's wonderful! I had a strong feeling that you're meeting would go well:).

Victory - welcome:)!

Beth - Oh I bet, I couldn't even imagine at the moment! It's getting better for me because I have accomplished a lot of things. My last thing to get past is my term paper and I am free to relax:). I love the holidays and are looking forward to them just like you; God is the most important to me but family is really something I'm big on so I can't wait:^:!

Hope everyone has a good night and a peaceful weekend :hug:.

Judy! :welcome3: Thanks for telling us about you and your dear family. Please come back and post often. And woo hoo :cb: on your weightloss!

Sunday
 

HI GALS :wave:

Taking a few minutes to check in while Angie makes ravioli for dinner. We just got back from Fry's with a new printer (mine and the boys broke last week- Angie is stingy ( :nono: ) with hers...actually she isn't but it's upstairs and too far (lazy) for us to walk~~~ Ryan took our digital camera to a Halloween party and someone dropped it, so we are getting $150 from him, we picked up a little better one for us and our cd player that Angie has had for 17 years isn't doing the shuffle for us so WE HAD TO HAVE ONE!! for the Christmas season....with all the music~~ MANHEIM STEAMROLLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We must have at least 4 Christmas CD's of them...soooooo GOOD!!!

:carrot: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!USC WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :carrot: I didn't get to see the game yesterday (they didn't televise it on our cable system and with Angie gone for the night at her mom's...there was no way I was going to a sports bar and driving home!!), but my son and some of his guy and girl friends went...he pretty much called me with the play by play!! Close and exciting game!!

LORI~ Hey! Stop picking on me through PM!! :nono: ;)

MAMATOBENANDRACHEL~ :welcome: I went to school with a gal that married someone older...he was 45 when they married, she was 22....they had issues of course, but they did get along OK...no children...unfortunately he passed away 10 years ago...we are 51 now....she had some great years with him...just not many. Good luck and prayers for him in his "retirement"!

PIXIEFALLS~ Good luck :goodluck: on that term paper!

VICTORY~ :wel3fc:

BETH~ Glad to see you sticking around.

HEY MIA'S~~~PLEASE COME BACK.....

Welcome Judy - yes God is always there for us. My husband is also in the IT field and we have had touch and go times with his job. Luckily, just last monday he started a new job that he was brought into by a couple of good friends from church. It is a much better situation.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Well, it started on Friday. You know.......Thanksgiving potluck at work, big dinner out with my parents and brothers celebrating a couple of family birthdays, next week is "turkey day" We can do it folks. Actually it was difficult for me. My husband and I took the kids to see Harry Potter and we bought popcorn and drinks - then ate Subway afterwards. I need to bear down now and resist the temptations. My big killer is salty things. I take blood pressure medicine with diuretics and it seems like my water weight fluctuates so much. I can just look at a salt shaker and puff up with water. Sometimes as much as 5 - 7 pounds. It goes as quickly as it comes though. Let's do it together. I am getting my treadmill out of lay-a-way next week. The whole family is really psyched about that. We also have DDR. Some playstation dance game that really gets you moving. You probably have seen them in the mall arcades. Anyway, wish me luck.

We can do it. We can all do it. One day at a time.

Hi!
 

Sorry I been away for a few days again, busy, busy, busy. Welcome Beth,Victory,Judy anyone else I missed! Wow :ori- your doing awesome! Keep up the good work! Wilma- Glad all went well with your employee, and pray she does turn it around so things work out. Wow! we had snow too, but not that much soon though probably. Mitchy- Prayers for your back and that all is o.k. from the accident and your aunt is well also. E.Z. Leftovers sounds good! Love porkchops. The PBR stands for Professional Bull Riders. It is broadcast on OLN every weekend. They just had their finals at Mandalay Bay. Justin McBride won this year, for 1 million dollars and the gold buckle. What's not to like, Cute cowboys (most are too young though), and the excitment of staying on a bull for 8 seconds. Alot of them are Christian's and give God the praise when they get off the bull, by kneeling and a quick prayer and pointing up hich is always nice to see. Well gotta run just wanted to pop in and say HI and say HAPPY THANKSGIVING! GOD BLESS! Hi to everyone else! see ya

We Lost a Good Friend Today
 

Hi Everyone,

Please pray for my friend, Deb, and her family and all of us. Our friend, Dan, died this morning. We were with them 24 hours before he died. We were at their house on Saturday night/Sunday morning and I told Bob I didn't think he looked good. By this a.m. he had died in his sleep. This is such a shock to all of us and please just pray that Deb finds peace and strength in the days ahead -

Thank-you, my friends -

Love, Lori

Good morning.

Lori - my prayers are with Deb and her family and friends.

EZMoney - Awesome website. I now have it bookmarked. And yes, Harry Potter was awesome as usual. We went to see it at a new neighborhood theatre...Rave Theatre. It is really nice. Stadium seating, surround sound, cushy rocking chairs with cup holders and the best part........about 1 - 1 1/2 miles from home which is amazing for a big city like Houston. We used to have to drive about 30 minutes away.
