This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

Hello on Sunday!

Well, I didn't make it to church today, but I enjoyed the services via internet! What a blessing that is! This a.m. we had a wonderful service, and there was no preaching, and I sat in my living room with tears running down my face, enjoying the service, even though I couldn't be there.

Missie has been so sick. She thought she was feeling better and then yesterday afternoon started getting feverish again, and is very weak. She has a lot of drainage in her throat, that goes along with this head cold. Junior and Preston went to church tonight, and I watched it on the internet. I could see Preston sitting in his pew rocking, it was so neat! Our pastor preached a wonderful sermon. Tues. night we start revival, through next Sunday. I plan to attend this as many nights as possible. The teen church sang tonight, and Missie and I both hated that she was not there for that. But there will be another time.

Well, since the cymbalta was so expensive, we decided to try paxil again, but it didn't do well. Preston started getting irritable, and we just had to go and buy 17 more pills to do us until next Friday. It was $75. We will have to buy 21 pills/week until they arrive at the free clinic. That will probably be about $100 a week. I don't know how we will do it, but God does. God is able to speed the delivery of this medication up, and have it arrive much sooner at the clinic, or speed up the medicaid! Something has to give in this area!

I have been working on some baskets with handmade cards in them to donate to our school for the silent auction. I hope they sell good for the school. We are having a soup supper, and silent auction on November 6th. We are hoping to do well, and raise lots of money for our school.

Hope you all had a wonderful Lord's day!

I trust Missie feels better soon or she may have to use that new insurance card to see the doctor! LOL I'm so glad she has it. God is Good!

It's always good to meet new friends! Thanks for your kind comments. My hat is off to mothers of special needs children. That possibilitiy frightens me but I know God will give us grace when if/when we need it. Hope Missie is feeling better soon! Love the little homemade cards. Those are the best kind.
