When I walked into my own house after work yesterday it was so nice to see Michael here. I was only stopping in to see if he wanted to come with me to go see Craig and Lindsay. He didn't. He look worn out. He just wanted to relax.
Lindsay and Craig celebrated their one month anniversary the other day. :) It was nice tonight, seeing them sit near each other on the couch. Craig had surgery yesterday, an ablation to remove a tumor in his arm. He looked wonderful when I walked into the house. It's amazing how he's been through two surgeries on his arm and he is still as strong as a horse. Youth is amazing!
I haven't written about Lindsay's wedding and I'm not sure why. I think it is because there are so many emotions, and so much to write about, I think I just don't know where to begin.
The same goes with just about everything surrounding my children. Since they've both moved away, I think I'm not writing because I'm trying to contain all the feelings. I mean, I'm happy for them. I know they are supposed to separate from their mother and create their own family . . . still. :) I miss them all.
I had a really nice visit with Beth last weekend. She came all the way down to Kansas City and we went to supper and watched a movie, 'Now You See Me'. She got up bright and early on Sunday to go meet her son and grandson and they went to the Omaha Zoo. :) Beth admitted that since Willie is gone off to work for 4 weeks in a row that Sundays are hard for her since Emily is gone. So we plan on keeping her busy those Sundays!
Which brings me to Sara. She's having her leg removed from the knee down on the 26th of June. I asked her about how her Momma was handling all of this. Sara said she didn't know but she did think that her Mom could use someone to talk with. So, I need to stop by and see Becky too. A perfect reason to go visit Princeton - Beth and Becky!
Work is good. It is funny I would say that because yesterday Scott came up to me venting about how our boss drove Scott over the edge. Scott said, 'you know how Mike thinks you suck? well . . . ' and then he went on to talk about how Mike had gone too far with Scott about the hours Scott is putting in. Still, Scott told me that my Project Manager thinks I suck and it doesn't upset me. I know Mike doesn't like me. I don't know why he doesn't like me. I think the reason it doesn't upset me is that I know that I put in 100% and I know I do excellent work. I think Mike just wants a new team. I think Mike thinks that I am stuck in the old way of doing things. Actually, there are many things that Mike 'think's that are just wrong. If he knew anything he would know that I'm one of the people who have tried to fix things that were wrong. Although, that might be his problem with me. He knows that I actually have an opinion. My point is though that the fact he doesn't like me doesn't upset me like it would have in the past. I may be growing up. Otherwise though I'm enjoying work. I have several projects on my desk and I'm working with some really good engineers. Plus, I have my family at work. It is so nice having someone to talk with about the love of my life, and theirs. We can be working along and then someone will say something about this verse or that verse and then we are all talking, while working of course.
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.
- God please guide the leaders of the world.
- God please heal my children.
