Hello again

Hello everyone. Things are going okay here. Just the same old things, taking B.J. back and forth to school, and housework and going to church. Not much happening. I do have a request though, my father-in-law is sick and has been for almost 3 weeks. He finally went to the doctors office today, better late than never, and I am really worried. He has been coughing up nasty stuff for almost the whole time he has been sick and at times it was dark brown junk coming up. He is 77 I believe, and his health has really went down quickly in the last few months, and he had some pretty bad skin cancers removed. My mother-in-law and I are worried that the skin cancer may have metastasized, or something and is causing this. In the past he has had a collapsed lung, I can't remember the cause, but I am worried that he may be in for a rough road. So my request of course is for prayers for him, his wife, and our whole family. I am worried we might loose him soon, and it may be a little to much to soon for my husband and family after loosing John last year. So pray for us all if you would please.
Until next time,
God Bless,
Judy

Update:
Well my father-in-law has a lung infection and a kidney infection, he had 2 IV's and a number of scripts to fill. He said the IV's helped a lot and I pray he will be back to himself soon. Thanks for all Prayers and please keep them coming.

I am back at last!

Well, did you think I had got lost? I didn't, but for some reason I couldn't get on my blog for a few days and I finally got it working again. I won't bore you with the details but I am back, at last! So, we had a blast at the Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes convention. I am going to try to go again next year as well. It was great spending the time with B.J. and supporting her in her activities as well as the other youth of our congregation. Here is a picture of B.J. and myself:
One of her friends took this for us while we were doing the picture scavenger hunt. Isn't my daughter a beauty? I sure think so. Also here is a couple pictures that we took of the scenery inside the hotel.

There were waterfalls and gardens and the picture of the woman dressed as a vine is known as Devine. She walks on stilts, and is a 9ft walking vine. She doesn't talk she just walks around and wraps around the polls and sometimes you can't even tell that it is an actress in costume. We had a great time, but I was very glad to get home that is for sure. God has bless us with the ability to do this together, and I pray he lets us do it again next year.

May God bless you all, and keep you healthy.

Well, we are still having fun!

Well we are still in Nashville and having fun. I am so proud of B.J. as she has made it to finals in Speech for the 8Th grade. We will find out tonight were she placed, it will be in the top six. She has song leading at 4:30 this afternoon, and I pray she does well in it too. But either way I will be very proud. She did place 3rd for her web page and got a nice trophy for it. I am glad that they award the kids this was, but placing isn't as important and the support they receive and the experience they get so that as they grow up they can grow in the church so that one day they can help to lead the Church and bring more to Christ. That is the important thing, God!
I am so thankful that I was able to be here this year and be a part of B.J.'s Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes experience. I pray that John is looking down on her, and that he is as proud as I am. Well, I will post again real soon.
Until then may God Bless and Keep you safe,
Judy

Hello again!

Well we are here! We are in Nashville at the Opryland Hotel and we had fun last night. We have a Photo Treasure Hunt that we did last night until almost 10:30 and are planning to finish this morning. We have to find the different places here at the hotel that we are given hints on and take a picture of the group. I haven't walked that much in who knows how long, but it was fun. Today is pretty much a free day, and the kids start their competitions tomorrow at 11:00am. I am enjoying the time with B.J. and her friends. I will post a picture when we get home, I forgot my SD card adapter for my laptop or I would already be doing it. Leave it to me to leave one of my favorite computer things at home.
Well, until next time, May God bless you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
