Bravo...

I have written in my blog about a hundred times in my head but apparently it has been a month since my last entry. Time sure goes fact when you think you are writing.

We have painted our living room. It is the first time it has been a plain solid color. It is quite a change. We have either had printed wallpaper or sponged walls. Amy thinks it looks like an old couples color, Katie added to it by saying it looks like a nursing home. Such enthusiasm and raves will totally underwhelm me.

Logan has been chewing on his back paw all day. I can't find anything there and he doesn't flinch in pain. I will need to call a vet tomorrow to see what they recommend. I hope he is ok.

Project Runway finale is on in a few minutes. I really like that show. It is fun. Kenley is a bitch though. I like Leanne. I think Kenley might win though. I love Tim Gunn.

Survivor is on tomorrow night. I love Survivor. It is set in Gabon, a country in Africa. They bill it as Earth's last Eden. It is totally gorgeous. It is the greenest place I have ever seen.

McCain and Obama have their last debat tonight. I will be glad to have the election over. I hate the barrage of commercials. I am so tired of them. I am tired of nasty, mean and derisive ads.

Wobbles and Tahoe are busy flapping their wings and squawking int heir cage. They are fighting again. They argue and chirp and then calm down. Parakeets by the way in answer to your question.

Dane is busy looking at the back of his eyelids.

Wow, the picture of the creek brought tears to my eyes. It is so peaceful and beautiful there... that was one of my "quiet places" I would go to meditate and pray, to organize my thoughts, and to seek guidance and comfort. As the Bible verse say "cast all your cares upon him, for he cares for you", so I would picture my trials and tribulations, my fears and my frustrations floating on the water down the creek, to the river, and out into the ocean, where I knew God was in control, and that he would give me peace. Thanks for such a lovely image!

What was taken will be returned...

"What was taken will be returned" is a line from a song his friend wrote and I was listening to it when I decided it was time to tackle my blog. My husband was taken from us on June 2nd. It was too soon. I lost my best friend,  my anchor, my love on that day. He tried to prepare me for it, but I refused to give up. I didn't want to let him go I miss his stupid groaner jokes. I miss his smile. I miss holding his hand. I miss feeling his warmth at night. I could list a million things I miss, but it won't bring him back. Forty years ago on a hot September afternoon, he gave me his pledge of love to honor and cherish me until death do us part. He gave me his name. He gave me his whole heart. He gave me three wonderful daughters who stole his heart. He gave me strength and support.  He gave me everything he had and more. While he was sick and fighting the cancer,  he changed. He was no longer anxious. He was more understanding. He no longer let his pride get in the...

My own little corner of hell...

I believe in this thing called life we're all assigned our own little corner of hell to live through to help define the person we are and will be. It's not a case of feeling sorry for myself, although, an occasional pity party can work wonders. It's more how we face it, how we adapt to the situation that God has given us. I Cor 10:13 says  The only temptations that you have are the same temptations that all people have. But you can trust God. He will not let you be tempted more than you can bear. But when you are tempted, God will also give you a way to escape that temptation. Then you will be able to endure it. My saturation and endurance point is at the zenith and I'm standing about to crumble. It's so hard for me right now. I called to talk to my mom today because she is one of the few people who will listen and has a good perspective of the situation. I wanted to run away from home today but I couldn't because I didn't have my own car. I borrowed s...

Take a few steps back...

Instead of complaining and whining I'm going to take a few steps back and see what all the challenges have produced or brought to me. Amy's feet and legs were badly infected and swollen. The only way they could be treated and healed was by her hospitalization. The Lord used Jim to save Amy's life. God had laid her on his heart with an urgent need to pray. He visited us and told her and then prayed for her. This convinced her she needed to go to the ER. We discovered a serious breathing issue that Amy had when she was hospitalized. Amy would've died and we had no clue. Amy had stopped breathing and had a CODE BLUE respiratory failure. An emergency team swarmed her room and I was alone. Bob has worked at the hospital a lot for years. I called him and he only heard a few words and came. When I saw his face in the door, behind all the staff, I went to him and fell apart. I needed to have someone and he was my someone. Continual healing of Amy when it medically sho...
