Last Monday I was actually able to get us all together for supper. Michael and family, Lindsay and family and Mendy and Mia met at Next Door Pizza. It was nice. The boys were on the best behavior and I think everyone had fun and I know we all had some good pizza.
This weekend was quiet. Michael and family went to St Louis. His first trip away from home. I am so proud of him. It appears as if they had fun.They went to a monster truck rally and also went to the arch. I kept Betsy. I didn't get to see the boys when he dropped Betsy off because Mary is on a roll. Lindsay says it is because they don't need anything so I am once again expendable. While I know she is right I try to not dwell on it too much. I do wish Michael saw a little more value in me and was over his teenage thinking I'm a terrible person. Mary, she is just on the downward spiral and hopefully she'll come out of it soon. I did miss the boys. I love their smiles and their hugs and their energy.
I didn't go over and see Kyler because I am coming down with whatever it is everyone has at work. Sore throat and copious amounts of stuff running from my nose. YUCK.
Mendy and her kids are on a cruise so I couldn't see them.
I felt out of sorts actually. Last weekend, most weekends, I am exhausted by trying to see and do everything but this weekend I had nothing to do - didn't like it much.
Why does it tickle so much to have this much stuff running all over the place!?! What kind of medicine can you take when you have high blood pressure so slow down the drip?
It was nice going to church today. Also nice to not feel guilty about not taking the kids. They weren't around to take so I was able to just go and worship with a clear mind.
I am very excited about Lindsay texting me awhile ago saying that they are watching Courageous. It is a powerful movie. I pray continuously that they will realize how important God is - the creator, the savior, our all.
On this day the Lord has made . . .
As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.
So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

Prayer List
- Thank you Father thank you.
- Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
- O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
- God please take the blinders from my children's heart and eyes. Please give them the gift of faith. Lord God, faith in you is so comforting and brings so much joy. Thank you!
- God please bless Michael, Lindsay, and their families with faith, wisdom, and compassion. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- God thank you for the gift of my co-workers who have shown me that it is good to show that I am a Christian. It is more than okay, it is imperative that my faith shows, so that others can come to know you. Please make me into a shining light for you. Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
- God please be with my family/friends as they go through this time in their lives. Please give them strength and courage and wisdom and faith Lord.
