Please Help Me Pray for John...

John has Fanconi Anemia, a rare genetic blood disorder that leads to bone marrow failure and possible to many cancers.... he had a bone marrow transplant over a year ago and has been battling some set backs.... he has some spinal fractures due to the large amount of steroids he now takes and has now been battling a digestive problem for many weeks now.... he is being treated at the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville ..... here is John's story.

Just had the best weekend .......... we went to the annual Youth Rally at the Lomax Church of Christ and it was great! Well over 700 in attendance and just a great time of fellowship, singing, worshiping and learning ..... this year the theme was ...got blessings?........ and it was a great reminder to all that God blesses us tremendously daily!

We also stayed an extra night to visit with family and to attended my "uncle's" 50th Birthday Party.... see he is not really my uncle ....he is my cousin, but I've always called him Uncle Don.... so he is Uncle Don and will always be so..... I guess it is a Southern thing.

Anyway, then I got home last night and stopped by my good friend Denita's house to pick up my house key.....she had been taking care of Ripley (our Min. Schnauzer)... and she could not find the key....so after tearing her house apart for an hour I called the landlady and asked it I could come and get her key to get in (Eric stayed at his parents to work on the farm for the next couple of days) ........ so I did finally get into the house last night ...........D, you found that key yet???? lol

So after no sleep this weekend I slept lots today, the kids are on Spring Break and I did not have to get up until Jed woke me and then as soon as Mia woke I let her watch Jed while I took a nap ........ now I feel more human and less like a Zombie. So, now for the rest of the week....Cleaning is in order..... and going to start looking at packing and labeling stuff for yard sale and to donate..... the move is in 2 months.

So I'm getting my pantry stocked.....I got 2 Angel Food boxes this weekend and now I'm looking forward to stocking up the shelves with lots of canned goods. I feel so much better and able to take on the problems the world throws at us if I know I can feed the family.....I feel so secure in the knowledge of a full pantry.


OH, I wanted to add the link to Angel Food.....

Eric has decided to NOT start his own business for the time being.... so he is dusting off the resume and getting it updated to start sending it out....I'm praying hard now that he will find what he needs to soon! He just felt that with all the things going on at the present time it would be better to get all under more control (i.e. the finances and debt department) before he ventures out into the world of business owner.

Last night we had Eric's family's Christmas party....love the togetherness his family has always shared....and we were told that his baby sis is gonna have a new baby next August! (Right around our Anniversary) So, little ( J) is not gonna be the youngest grandbaby in the family for much longer....(I can't say the smallest cause he is as big as his cousin that is a couple of months older) ......They were not expecting this at all but are joyous just the same!

Well, got to go get ready for evening services.....be back soon!
