Surprise, surprise, surprise......I'm back and so very blessed to know I was thought of!!! I have alot of catching up to do....How is the move going Jan? Every day ya'll are getting closer and closer to the wonderful blessing God has provided for you...honestly, I have thought of you every day as I have Bomba! So Bomba, how was the vacation...are you rested? Did you get quality time with family and friends?...I was suppose to be your way this weekend...visiting my brother and his family over the weekend in Fitzpatric and Mongomery, but had to cancel the trip. How about the game on Saturday...Auburn squeaked it out in the last minute....my family VERY upset over their Georgia loss but i'm sure all of Alabama rejoicing....great game though! And to Bett M., thanks for being soooo faithful and now you have a chance to practice your comment making (you know that makes my day), and remember practice makes perfect. Sissy, I have missed your comments, just consider myself lucky that I get to see you and speak to you either directly or indirectly through MEEMEE (of course, most of my life is thru MeeMee). Ton-Ton, I hope the schooling won't keep you from reading some of my shorter posts...can't promise them to be too short, I have alot stored up in me...mostly things you have planted in my head from our talks....and Patti, I caught up today, since my eyes were not watering like faucets and I could actually focus. Are you ready for game on!? Maybe we can wait a few weeks.... Can't wait to hear from everyone!
My disappearance was mostly due to computer problems. Even while writing my last couple of posts, our computer kept freezing up and just steadily got worse. We took it to a computer shop and was told it was a problem with spies so they wiped it clean...still didn't work right...then back to the shop and we were told it was some kind of "motherboard" problem, whatever that is. They tried to get one from the factory.....to make a long story short, we had to decide whether to buy a new computer or overhaul this one. That made for some delay while we shopped and compared what we had with what we could buy and which would be the better deal. Important time lost, not just to me (separation from my friends is hard), but my husband does alot of his engineering work here at home on this computer. Anyway, this weekend we got our overhauled computer back with more memory, faster, and hopefully better. But. instead of being able to jump right to ya'll, I had caught the flu middle of last week and was so sick I was able only to lay around and whine a whole lot. Every year my mom and I go to Alabama to visit my brother's family...my nephew's birthday is the day before my moms so it is a great birthday present for her. We load up and celebrate the two birthdays together there. We were suppose to leave on Saturday morning and return on Monday morning but Thursday night I had to cancel out. I was running a fever and just too sick to drive the 5 hour trip. I was very disappointed....mom and I always have a great time together...I treasure the time alone with her. And it is great to be able to visit with my brother, sister-in-law, and niece and nephew and not be distracted with my family. But, it wasn't in the cards so maybe another weekend soon.
All that said, I am back and ya'll have made me feel so special and important...actually taking the time to inquire about me...ya'll have great big hearts and it means alot to me. I have rambled on today...sorry about that....but please read 1 Chronicles 16:23-32....tomorrow I want to talk about it. God spoke to me this morning and I feel He wants me to share some thoughts on this scripture with all of you. If ya'll read it today or tonight I might be able to keep my post a little shorter (that would be for Ton-Ton!), not having to write out the whole scripture. Then I can use the post to pass on to you what the Lord has spoke to me. I am really excited and can hardly wait for tomorrow!
And by the way, Friday is a big day for my sister and brother-in-law out west....please pray for skill and guidance for the doctors, peace for their family and most of all, for them to feel God's presence with them on Friday! God is in control and he loves that family very much....we need to trust that His will can be done in their lives and in ours.
And finally today, here's to being together, for the blessings that I receive from each of you, and the joy and love from being one in Jesus Christ. See ya'll tomorrow.....I can't wait!!!!
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as our does for you.
1 Thess. 3:12

I'm glad you're back and feeling better. What would be neat is, if you ever come through town, we get a few of us "Bloggers" together and meet. Munford Chaos, myself, Time of my Life, etc. are all in the surronding area.
I missed you! You've become an integral part of my life. I always grab my morning coffee and hop onto the computer to see what you and everyone else has to say.
I've been remembering Tenny and Jonathan and wondering how they are coping with all their trials.
We are moving on Nov.24th...that's 9 days away. I've been packing, and sorting, and tossing, and having my stomach in knots hoping that I'm going to have everything done on time. My Mom is taking my kids for a couple of days next week. So, I'll be able to focus on the final details.
Sorry to hear about your computer problems and your illness. I'm happy that your feeling better. Will look forward to hearing what you have to say about the I Chronicles passage. May God pour out His blessing on you today, dear sister.
Bomba,
Great minds must think alike....I had the same thought but had no idea where you were in relationship to Montgomery. We travel down 1-20 to Hot-Lanta then take ? (I think it's 85) to Montgomery. We alway stop on your side of Atlanta to eat. Next trip I will let you know and maybe we can all have lunch or at least a glass of ice-tea. Glad to be back with ya'll!
Jan,
Thanks so much for keeping your thoughts and prayers with Jon and Tenny...I talk with my nephew about 3 times a week and all that has been mentioned is that his dad won't be able to play in the softball tournament on Saturday because of the surgery. I will be calling my sis on Thursday to let her know we and others are praying for a text-book go of things.
I have the 29th marked on the calendar...don't give it a moments worth of anixety...YOU WILL be covered in prayer. And aren't MOMS GREAT!!! They always seem to be around when we need just a little relief and an extra pair of hands and some calming. Glad for you she is around. In the next day or two I will be e-mailing you on some other recent details. Not to worry but feel I need to let you know what is happening.
Again, and I know I keep saying it but I really did miss you...it feels good to be back!
Colette
