Fighting Fair

I love Sundays! We are allowed to go worship God corporately! It is such an uplifting experience. Al and I are blessed to have a church where we feel God is using us and we are in His will. Our church family is our extended family as brothers and sisters in Christ and it is wonderful to catch up on Sundays and see God at work in everyone's life. As Starshine would say....we sang one of my favorite songs. It is Here With Me by Mercy Me. If you don't know it, here are the lyrics:

I long for your embrace
Every single day
To meet you in this place
And see you face to face
Will you show me?
Reveal yourself to me
Because of your mercy
I fall down on my knees
And I can feel your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of your touch
Here in this moment I surrender to your love
You're everywhere I go
I am not alone
You call me as your own
To know you and be known
You are holy
And I fall down on my knees
I can feel your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of your touch
Here in this moment I surrender to your love
I surrender to your grace
I surrender to the one who took my place
I can feel your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of your touch
Here in this moment I surrender:
I can feel your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of your touch
Here in this moment I surrender to your love

We are currently in a series of sermons on Home Improvement. This week's sermon was on How to Fight Fair. I had to think, personally, and Al and I really don't fight. We never have. Now in our first year of marriage we had some different opinions that were cause for concern (mostly religious issues), but we have never really fought. We usually feel the same way about things or are willing to see things the other persons way if it is that important to them. I can't imagine getting in a heated argument with him. He is a morning person, but he lets me sleep. I am an evening person but I am ready to go to bed when he is. He is constant--stable--at one level, I am up and down, but we complement each other. There is no doubt that God put us together, thank you Jesus.

Today is my good friend Janet's Birthday. She is such a blessing in my life. She is my sister in Louisiana (and Heaven). She is as REAL as a person could be and as Honest as anything. She has 2 beautiful daughters that are happily married and a beautiful grandaughter, Jillian. Her husband adores her (as he should) and her sister is a precious friend. Janet knows me as well as anyone and more than most and she still loves me. She has truly been a blessing in my life. We are celebrating tonight at Trey Yeun (sp?). Eat your hearts out King James and Matt! Janet, I love you girl!


We saw our friend Hoppa yesterday and after 1 week of radiation he is doing well. My mom received 2 blood transfusions Friday and is feeling better. She has asked my Dad to cut down her feeding to 4 cans a day instead of 6 though because she began throwing up at night. She is fed by feeding tube. I am not sure that 4 cans of nourishment is enough. Please continue to pray. Alanna is feeling better since she is taking her vitamins at night. Her only gripe now is that I did not mention granddogs on my blog. There you go Alanna that was for you! GRANDDOGS!!!!

As I learn how to do this blogging thing I'll try to put some pictures or something interesting.
