Don't feel bad, there was plenty of familial drama on the wedding day, especially when we got home Monday...so you're not the only one who is--er, was--in a hacky mood! And, for the record, we stole Morgan's "gumpy" word. I call John Mr. Gumpy when he gets in a mood, it always gets a smile. He now announces he is "gumpy". LOL It's such a cute word! Anyway, love ya!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-1145981903086680552006-04-25T11:18:00.000-05:002006-04-25T11:18:00.000-05:00Thanks guys.

He must know I'm down. *grin* Kevin got Friday and Saturday off for a change (instead of Tues/Wed) and we get to go out of town this weekend to see a family member. And I'm sure I'll feel a bit better once I've had my "Texas Fix" in just a few weeks. Morgan was on the phone last night talking to her friend in Texas she plans to visit... and we all will have a lot of fun riding roller coasters with people from all over Texas and our good friends from here! We really have nothing to complain about. We have our health and eachother - and we live in a blessed land where we can worship the Lord!<BR/><BR/>Instead of focusing on me... I'm praying for the military and our brothers and sisters overseas today. We're doing school and getting ready for our weekend... and gearing up for <A HREF="http://www.compassion.com/Search/results.htm?query=compassion+sunday" REL="nofollow">Compassion Sunday</A> on the 30th! We plan to pray for the kids and sponsors since we can't afford to sponsor another child.Sprittibeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992769339576987845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-1145936469738381362006-04-24T22:41:00.000-05:002006-04-24T22:41:00.000-05:00I personally think you're doing a fantastic job, a...I personally think you're doing a fantastic job, and that the devil hates your guts. What seems to help is to remind the devil of his future, of how he's going to have to bow his knee and confess with his forked tongue that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146665485840381349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-1145924070032696942006-04-24T19:14:00.000-05:002006-04-24T19:14:00.000-05:00Hey Heather,I've just been studying the life of Jo...Hey Heather,<BR/><BR/>I've just been studying the life of Joseph - talk about providence at work. I can't imagine any better pick-me-up than taking a little time to meditate on his life, suffering, unfailing faith, and great reward. <BR/><BR/>You are a blessing to so many people through your intelligence, wit, beautiful spirit and wisdom beyond your years.

Sometimes when there are clouds on the horizon I have to do a double-take because it looks like the mountains. I still do miss the big sky and those mountains. I feel so bad for you Sheri and Sprittibee. I hope that you both find home wherever you might be. It's terrible to be homesick.Grizzly Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04140654835381345450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-1145820225395816362006-04-23T14:23:00.000-05:002006-04-23T14:23:00.000-05:00Amanda - Thank you so much.

God is good, and I'm so glad our paths have crossed and hope to keep you in my life as a friend forever... no matter where geography takes both of us!<BR/><BR/>Rhonda - Thanks so much for your prayers. We are so excited to see you at the Arlington Convention!!!<BR/><BR/>Monicar - Thank you so much for the encouragement. I really needed it. And yes, the flowers are really wonderful here.<BR/><BR/>Sheri - Thanks for putting it in perspective. I remember visiting Washington as a kid and seeing the spectacular view of mountains and the wonderful mild summers and redwood trees. I never got to live there, even though my grandparents did for most of their lives. I rarely got to see them, and it was magical when I did go. I haven't been able to afford a trip back to the pacific coast with my family, and they have never seen it. I get teary eyed thinking of visiting again. I certainly can understand why you would love it there. I'm not sure why you had to leave or how long you were there, but I pray that one day, God will let you return if that is your heart's desire. And if not, I pray He'll lead you to Texas some day in the future so you can be my next door neighbor! We ain't got no snow-capped mountains, but the hill-country is quite nice. ;)Sprittibeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992769339576987845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-1145770572330386442006-04-23T00:36:00.000-05:002006-04-23T00:36:00.000-05:00Oh dear - I'm so sorry you're down.
