I was gonna go into a rant today about foreigners who think they have some say over our election results.
BUT!
The action this morning in Iraq changed that! God IS GREAT!
This was a BRILLIANT MOVE!
I wanted to post this, It has been a while since Dawn has done an update. I am trying to finish off her house, alot of work has been done and of course working alone doesn't make things move any faster.
Hello!
I am aware of how long it has been since my last update and I am sorry for the lapse. After my grandmother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer she had surgery that went well and all was clear. Then a few weeks into her recovery she had chest pains and was tested all night for heart problems. They did not find heart problems but they did find a huge mass in her lung. a week later we found out that it was cancer and a week later we found out that it had metastasized into her heart. 2 weeks ago we called in hospice care and today as I write to you I am in the process of making funeral arrangements. She was taken to Hospice in care Thursday and it does not look like she will make it through the week.
I mention this because all of this has consumed me and I just do not have enough time. My nana was like a mom to Mark and I or I should say a rock. This is a devastating loss of us and for me in a year full of loss.
Please pray for my strength to make it through this loss and make all the decisions that will come.
While I have been consumed with all of this, God has been doing a work on Russ. Russ is very alert mentally, he still has almost no long term memory but his short term memory is getting better. Physically he is getting stronger and has been wearing leg braces during the day for several hours. While in the leg braces he was walking with a walker but is now walking on crutches. He gets in and out of his wheelchair with ease and we are able to transport him to doctor appointments or any place he needs to go.
The biggest hurdle for Russ now is his bowels..they cause him daily pain and are still not working normally. Russ would really like to see some people he mentioned this yesterday. As a reminder he is staying at the Episcopal Church Home on Rhode Island Ave.
That's all that I can write now. Please hold us in prayer and remember that God's grace is sufficient, I live by that these days!
Under His Wing!
Dawn
It's gonna be interesting today to listen to the alphabets spin the events from Iraq.
Channel surfin' just now, shows FOX covering the information extensively, and CNN and MSNBC giving the story just passing interest. Why am I not surprised.
Now I'm looking forward to JH2's Thursday essay.
Good day, Your Honor! This 'Military Monday' is off to quite a start...
Dear Mayor,
A big BTTT for Military Monday!
When I get motivated, I will find a graphic to post. However, Bill Gates insist that I update my Windows security because he allowed another "loophole" in his software. Honestly! If he wasn't such a Liberal, I would sympathize.
Have a great day!
