A Challenge

A few weeks ago someones Facebook status caught my attention and I haven’t forgotten it.  It was a quote by Gandhi.  It said, “I like your Christ, I don’t like your Christians, they are so unlike your Christ”.  Now I can’t say I’m one to remember the FB status of my friend but this one [...]

Thankfulness

I know it’s what everyone says, but if you were to ask me what’s at the top of my list of things I’m thankful for, family would be at the top. Days like today are a huge reminder of just that.  If I could have hand picked my children, I would have picked these very [...]

A Picture of the New Kitty

About a month ago, I finally kept my  promise to Julia and allowed her to pick out a new Kitty.  Since we didn’t  have a great experience with our last one I wasn’t very excited about our new family member.  But little Dixie has proven to be a  very sweet and even smart cat.  However, [...]

New Kitty

Wow, it seems like you just turn around and a whole month has passed.  I can’t believe that it’s been that long since I have posted.  Too busy I guess.
Okay, so I joined the fitness center about 6 weeks ago and I’m finally starting to see some results.  But I am definitely finding that it’s not as [...]

Missing a Sweet Lady

Charley and I came home from SC on Saturday so we could be at church Sunday.  We knew we would be going back on Monday morning since my grandmother was at the point of death.  She hung on til Monday morning around 6:40.  Just as we dropped our daughter off at school, my sister called [...]

From this Life to the Next

I got a call Thursday morning from my mom saying that my 94 year Granny had fallen again in the nursing home and had been taken to the hospital.  They did not believe that she would make it more than a few hours.  So, Charley and I got caught up on the things we had to [...]

After the Surgery

I had to change the bandage today on Charley’s hand and was shocked to see how much cutting was actually done.  I guess the Dr. wasn’t kidding when he said it was a lot more work than he anticipated.  Sorry about the gross-ness of the picture.

Post Op

Things went well with the surgery yesterday.  We went in thinking this was the least  affected hand.  It looked like just the pinky was affected.  A few minutes into the surgery they called me to sign another paper to give them permission to  do 2 other fingers.  So 3 fingers needed to be done.  When [...]

Charley’s Hand

After several years of Charley’s hands getting worse we have finally taken the step and his surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning.  Little by little his fingers have been closing in.  The Dr. said that eventually it would draw in completely and he would not be able to use it at all if he didn’t [...]

She Succumbed to Hopelessness

My last post told the story of a woman who truly knew what it was to have a personal relationship with her God.  But her story is directly followed by the story of a woman that we only know as Ichabod’s mother.  What we know is that this woman was probably living the life she [...]
