Welcome back I sure am glad to see you here. How are you feeling? I've been praying for you. I sure did miss you and am glad that you finnally got your password figured out. I hope to see you around more often I was beginning to think that I was left alone again. ;D We have some new members but know one post anything except me and I get no replies. I don't understand why people join a site and than leave and not come back. Oh Well I will just keep parying about it

Me? Leave you alone? hahahahahahaha I don't understand why either. Then if I ever decide to send a mass e-mail I get e-mails back from people who are upset that we have their e-mail addresses. go figure. I am still in remission from the cancer but I gained 45 pounds drinking all those shakes for months. Then my monitor went out and my keyboard quit working so I have replaced the monitors once and the keyboard twice. My computer is getting old and tired like me. hahahahaha I've been busy making hats for the Salvation Army and getting ready to start a Bible Study here at home on Thursdays. Otherwise just waiting for Spring and some warm weather. How are you and Jackie doing?

Jackie and I are doing fine but still not a word from Jim. He is living in Pennslyvania but we aren't suppose to know but God let me know that he is there. I'm glad to see that you are keeping yourself busy nad that your cancer is in remission. My computer is getting old too and does some wierd things.I think it is time for a new one but I can't afford it at this time. Jackie and I are going to Ocean City next month for a couples retreats. I'm looking forward to that.

Oh that trip sounds wonderful. I need to go to a retreat too. I just get so upset and stay so angry I have no idea why the devil wants me but he does. oh yes. Pray for my strength to fight the good fight. this happens everytime I redidicate.
I know it hurts you so much about your son. Why these things have to be will be revealed someday. Meanwhile I am reading a book called the Purpose Driven Life. Have you read it? It is helping me so much to realize that the things that go on around me are not so important as I thought because its "not about me" but about Gods purpose.
Yeah I know all about the finances. I finally got old enough to get my late hubbys social security so the government raised the cost of my health insurance and deducted a portion of my annuity because of the social security. We can never win but at least we are not living in a box under a bridge though its coming closer and sooner than we all think.
Hugs my friend. My prayers are with you.

I have handed Jim over to the Lord and will believe that the Lord will send him home one day and we will me a family together again. I will be honest with you I have two copies of The Purpose Driven Life and have only read the first three chapter and haven't gotten any farther. I have heard so many good things about it but everytime I sit to read I just can't get into it. I need to pray about it. I know what you mean about Social Security we just got a raise in January but they raised the cost of Medicare and now they got that prescription plan that is confusing and if you don't take it they will appoint one to you and then they said if you don't choose one they will penalize you 1% for every month that you don't have it and then they if you already have a plan that is as good as theirs then you don't have to take their plan and you won't be penalized. Are you confused yet? I need to contact them and let them know that I already have a plan with Jackie's work place. Thanks for your prayers and you are in mine also

Me? Confused? never! hahahahahahahaha
Funny but Crafty just said the same thing about the book. Maybe it means more to me because my candle has been quite dim for quite some time I am ashamed to say.
Our study went really well today and we sat with the book and discussed something totally different. God must have decided he wanted us to learn what He wanted us to learn so thats how it went, We decided to doit every other week since our friend Sheila has to drive an hour to get here at my place and even farther is we had it at Cathys.
Cathy is a really good teacher. She worked with missions for many years and the WCL and taught new Christian adult workshops. She showed up here today with a board and printed lessons and chart and Bibles to go around to keep or pass along. It was so wonderful and I am looking forward to the next time.
Well its 1:30 in the morning. If I don't go to bed soon the traffic will start and I will be awake anothe 24 hours. hahahahaha
Blessings upon you and yours!
