Hello again!

Well, hello again.  It has been a while since I posted, and part of that is because I was sitting with an elderly lady and I didn’t have much time for being on the computer.  But now I am at home again, so I thought I would let you all know that I am still alive and doing well.  It is so hard for me to believe that the year is almost over, Thanksgiving is just around the corner, with Christmas coming soon.  I am thankful that my family is healthy, and that we are all doing pretty good.  I still haven’t started school yet, but I pray that I soon will be in school so that I can get a decent job with benefits, God willing of course.  B.J. is still doing well in school, she is in the 10th grade and taking drivers education.  It seems like she is to young for that, but she is growing into a young lady, and though I am very proud of her, I still miss the young child she was.  It still makes me sad to think that all the stuff she is accomplishing, John will not get to experience.  I miss him so much, especially this time of year.  He so loved getting together with the family at Thanksgiving and Christmas, as well as other times.  I miss seeing the sparkle in his eyes, and the mischievousness too.   I wonder if he would be starting to be interested in girls, and what “type” of girl he would like.  I guess you could say that I just ache for him sometimes. 

Becky has passed the first of 2 tests required to get her state license in Cosmetology, and I am very proud of her.  She is now living with her future in-laws, and they are working on the small house that they are building to start their lives together. 

Brad is back with his wife, still struggling with finding a job, and getting his life back together.  I just pray that he will find his way back to God and the church.  I feel he would be better able to cope and all if he would put God first in his life.  I know it has helped me a lot.

I am still reading my Bible every night.  If I am able to keep my schedule up, I will read the Bible in one year.  All  Books, chapters, and verses, and yes I am a bit proud of this accomplishment.  It is the first time I have read the entire Bible.  And now it just doesn’t seem like the end of the day and time to sleep until I have taken the time to read from God’s word.  I always feel more at peace after reading the Bible.  There was once a time when I didn’t think that reading the Bible would help me in any way, but now I know the truth, IT DOES! 

Well, I guess I had better get some more work done around this house, so I will go for now.  May God bless you all!
