New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Jr has been in muh prayers...
That's good news Jen.
Nice lookin' plants there. I should planted some cherry maters...next year...
Maybe we should let WN and Jen pick the week since they have school schedules to juggle.
If'n we're lookin' at calendars, spring would likely be better for the Stormhands clan. It gets tricksey, might not be able tuh bring the fam'ly, but we'll work on it.
The earlier we get something on the calendar the better for us.
Thanks bro. That means a lot.
Senior pastor prayed for the Brazil team yesterday mornin'. Prayed that they'd be "turned inside out."
Mrs. darn near shouted...
I once was part of a "youth minister" vote...guy was an (independent) missionary from out of the country...we offered to pay his way back to the States and everything. He wasn't part of the Southern Baptist Missions.
They had a special service where we got to meet him and then he left and we got to vote on him. Somethin' stirred in my spirit...something wasn't right, but I couldn't put my finger on it...so I voted no. The votes were collected and counted and it came out to about 325 votes for the guy...one vote against. I was the only vote against. Even Steve voted for him...was stunned when I told him I'd voted against.
3 months after we moved him back into the country to be our youth minister, he accepted another call to a different church...he had just used us as a stepping stone to get him back into the country.
I just talked to my mom. The doctors think it's something in the muscles. Possibly related to his asthma. Whatever it is, they're convinced it's not dangerous. So I'm trying to relax here...
Sounds very treatable and sounds like a good thing he went when he did. We'll keep him in our prayers.
I'm fine whenever for Shoot-moot...Steve is looking forward to it!
Joe has Marfan Syndrome. He goes back Wednesday for an update/evaulation. Last time when he was 14 he was doing okay and they said to come back when he was 16. That's now.
Gathering was a time for fellowship and prayer for Joe. We went even though Jr. couldn't be there. Joe's incredibly bright and gifted, but has this cross to bear, which he does with tremendous grace.
But if you have extra space on your prayer list, it would be appreciated.
Dad can be a little too macho sometimes... thinks it's wussy to admit he's hurting. But he knows better than to mess with something like this. Not that Mom would have let him blow chest pain off.
Keep me in your prayers, too, please. I'm still all shook up.
Will do!
Will continue to pray for peace for you. I'm sure you'll feel better once you've seen your dad.
Have said a prayer for Joe and will keep that in mind.
I know what that syndrome is...they think Abe Lincoln had it.
I brought it up in nursing school and the teacher hadn't even heard of it. She asked me about it and I told her all I knew. She says "Miss Parks...how do you know about this?" And I replied "I read about it in Sports Illustrated...Flo Hyman was afflicted with it." People with Marfans are usually very tall, thin, big hands...make good basketball players and such...
The problem is that many people are never diagnosed with it and drop dead from it. It's wonderful news that Jr's friend has been diagnosed and that they are monitoring it.
Yeah, they found it probably 2-3 years ago now. And you're right he's very tall and thin. So are both of his parents so it wasn't as obvious at first.
you say that like itsuh bad thing...
glad fer the news...
y'all can come anytime... whatever werks out the best... just don't be the first inside the perimeter...
Let's get Mikey. Mikey'll do it, he'll do anything!
