Sarah

I had written confirmation that my mammogram/ultrasound test is just great.  Such sweet and thankful news. 

Prayers for all who have concerns.

It is snowing but only and inch or two right now.  I just finished watching a YouTube video of people sledding and skiing down Queen Anne hill in Seattle.  One was in a laundry basket.  That hill is quite steep for several blocks and I still recall losing power while trying to go up with it & girlfriend Ginger had to back all the way down with people mad & honking.  Well, her car only had so much power.   

Keep up the good works on exercise.  I didn't sleep last night so have been so sleepy all day.  Perhaps a walk tomorrow? 

Oh, I was able to go on the SN site and looked at my quilting - boy, there are a lot more pictures that I could add.  Am so glad that they were not deleted. 

Welcome home Anthony!!!

Thanks to all who have prayed for me, it really helps

Thank you Pat for fixing it so I can once again log in, That was so frustrating last night.

Hi everyone.  It is another overcast day with some rain predicted.  It is suppose to get to 60 degrees today, which is nice, and the same tomorrow. 

I am ready for church and we will leave in about an hour.  Today is communion Sunday and the choir is doing an appropriate anthem.  I expect we will go out with the group for lunch after church unless they decide to go to a place we just don't care to visit again but seems to be a favorite of a number of the group.  In that case Pat and I will find a place to eat.

I don't have much else scheduled for today.  I watched the pro football games late yesterday afternoon and evening.  I was sorry to see the Atlanta Falcons get beaten but the other team played the superior game and deserved to win.  The night game was exciting and went into overtime.

Anthony, it has been a long time since we saw you posting.  Welcome back.

Sarah, it sounds like your wedding was great.  Hope you can post some pictures.

Pat, glad to see that Paul made it back safely.  I had to quite driving late at night as would fall asleep and awake with a start and knew that was terribly unsafe.  Hope he was able to get rested up before the Christmas get together.

Carol, that is good news.  I know it is a relief for you and Don. 

It snowed most of yesterday but is only an inch or two outside.  Very cold.  Last night we spent a few hours going through photos only because one son wanted something from high school days - slim pickings but we did get things cleaned up and put away.  I think that there are a lot of boxes downstairs waiting. 

Samantha:  Your prayer concerns are important to you and us - often we read and don't reply but it is not ignored. 

Larry:  The Falcons are always a powerhouse team - I knew that you and Don were watching the same game. 

Good Morning I found the neatest Gospel clipart page  HERE.

I am part way ready for church I have on the lower part of my clothes and am about to fix my face and my hair before I finish dressing. Everything is covered with frost outside and when I leave for church I will have to go out the back door as it is safer than trying to walk on the front porch, I am not taking any chances of falling down again, that last fall down the deck stairs in Oregon was enough for me.

I did take the dogs for their walks yesterday but go out the back door and gate when I walk them.

Samantha I did pray for you and I think I posted that I was. Many times I lay n bed when I can't sleep and pray for everyone I can possible think of. Last night was one of those nights, the toes on my right foot were hurting and keeping me awake.

Better finish getting ready for church.

Larry, I will share one of the photos of Beth and John if I can remember or figure out how!    She said the proofs will be ready tomorrow.

My sister Jeanie and I went to the little boy's funeral service yesterday. 
Yes, it was a very hard funeral, for everyone in attendance.  The grandma sang, can you even imagine?  She is one of the strongest, bravest people I know!  She sang "My Life is in Your Hands" and it was the perfect song.  The first line says 'Sometimes life is good, sometimes it's so hard.'  Lou Ann said she just had to do that for her daughter.

The poor truck driver had to be taken to emergency, it really was tough on him.  He is 62 years old, and I'll bet he was imagining his own grandchildren.  They had to cremate the remains, the only thing recognizable was his little feet.  

The kids had/have been taught the meaning of NO, but Ethan was a strong-willed child, and his Mom said if you told him a thousand times not to do something, he would do it anyway, regardless of the punishment.  He was totally fearless.  And just days from his fifth birthday.

I need to paint on a little trunk for my painting group meeting next Saturday.  I have had it here for months, but have procrastinated until the last minute.  Shame on me.  Embarrassed  Bet I get it done, though.  This is the meeting where we return each other's items that we paint for them.

I copied and pasted part of the above, as I posted it in another thread yesterday, thinking I was here.    And I got that little trunk painted yesterday evening!!  Yea!  One less thing to be stressed over this week.

Good afternoon.  Church was great today with the guest minister being a minister who was at Clarksville about 20 years ago.  He went on with his education and the last time I saw him he was a nurse when my mother was in an Indianapolis hospital.  Now he is full time with FAME.  (Fellowship of Associates of Medical Evangelism...website http://www.fameworld.org/ )  Rick Wolford is the Executive Director of FAME headquarters at Indianapolis.  They take teams all over and furnish medical supplies to underpriviledged countries.  He was telling us that a hospital in Indy donated 130 pallets/skids of boxes of plastic gloves!  All FAME had to do was get them!  That is over 4 millions pairs of plastic gloves.  Can you imagine how much that will help people in unsanitary areas?

Ivalou gave the communion devotion this morning.  She did very good even though she gets so emotional.  We have communion every Sunday.  

After church four of us ladies went out to eat at a Chinese restaurant.  Very good food.  

Now I am home for the day.  I feel a nap coming on since I couldn't sleep very well.  Seems to be a weekly thing.  

Cloudy and windy but the temperature isn't too bad.  35°.

We had a lovely day at church today.  One of the men who has difficulties with a mental health problem found that he had a brother in the South of England.  He left us today to go and live by him, so it was a touching moment saying goodbye.  We also had some visitors from the States who are planning on some youth work during the Summer.  It was good to meet them.

Thank you for all of the welcomes, Marilyn, Carol and Larry.

It was so wonderful to read that Sarah is now married.  It will be great to see some of the photographs.

I hope you have a good day today Larry, I had to smile that it is 60 degrees where you are - we are experiencing freezing conditions in England at the moment.  My friend just come home from visiting relatives in Scotland where it is -18C.

I know what you mean Marilyn about lying bed not sleeping.  I am experiencing that myself lately.  It's good that you spend the time possitively by praying for people.

Janet, it's hard to read about the accident with the little boy.  The family must be in a state of shock.  How is Beth these days? 

I'm just about off to bed, it has been one of those wonderful days when the Bible has been expounded very clearly and dynamically.  Perhaps I will have a good night's sleep 

I hope I can be forgiven for starting the new Thoughts this early - I'll be away this evening.  So go here.
