For some reason, my freepmail won't work, so here is the message I tried to send to you (who knows, maybe you got three of them!)
Good morning, Granny! I think it's so ignorant of people to immediately make fun of anyone who keeps an open mind about the possibility of terrorist acts. And then there was that Egyptian suicide plane.
Those people love death and destruction. And, oddly enough, so do the enemies within.
BTW, I got your freepmail about Calpernia's son - and I did pray for them. I just didn't get to replying to you - been overwhelmed lately with my two ping lists, health stuff (as usual) and DH working almost 7 days a week and he's on call for wildland firefighting as well. I'm never at my best when it's 100 every day.
But I can imagine in Kingman! I can't complain.
I heard a while ago that you were having some health problems, but I never did read what they were. I hope you are feeling better now. No one escapse the ravages of old age, I'm only in mid fifties but my wild mis-spent youth and other accidents (such as getting poisoned with pesticides 10 yrs ago) have taken their toll.
My solace is my conviction that our real self is the eternal soul, that the physical body is a vehicle (or like the Bible says, an earthly tent or home) which, if we place all our trust in God's protection, will soon be traded in for an eternal existence beyond our comprehension. So the old age part, although certainly unpleasant and painful, is, to me, like a temporary hurdle before the finish line.
May God bless you and keep you,

Good description, the odd thing is the finish line gets closer every day.
Yes, I have to laugh, when the "it is not terrorism" crowd meets.
But I also have to watch it that I don't find a terrorist hiding around every incident.
When you have a good imigination, it is hard to not write the story as you imagine it.......LOL
The last I heard from Calpernia, her son was doing fine, thank you for sharing your prayers.
Do take care of yourself, summer will be over in 2 weeks, then the fall is so short and I hate winters.
Take care of that husband, he is working too hard.
