FRONT YARD BUNNY

Two little "treats" entertained me while I was doing dishes. Pix is a bit fuzzy because it was through the window and screen. I do love living in Sunfield.

TONSIL DOC SAYS...

"Let's do a throat culture and see what's growing in there when your not infected"
"Let me take a look at all your lab work from Born"
"Next time your throat is infected come in so I can see it"
So, we wait. I am totally cool with this. So, I guess we can go ahead and plan our summer vacation. We are probably going to go up to Lake Superior Provincial Park- in Canada on the North shore of Lake Superior.
I over did at the Golf tournament on Tuesday so am totally run down again but...with pacing myself I hope to "recover" quickly. I'll let ya know what day that is so we can see if I make a record recovery. Hee Hee Hee. Gotta go rest again. I am hoping to go to JOrdan lake up here by my house this afternoon for a bit with 4 nieces and nephews my mom and the Reed family!!!

WEEKEND PICS

SUNFIELD SUNSET

A WONDERFUL WEEKEND

I PLAYED this weekend and it was AWESOME. We went to the Big Ticket Festival with Kevin and Luann and it was so fun. Between naps we saw Switchfoot, Barlo Girl and our favorite JEREMY CAMP. We were blessed with backstage passes and had fun meeting Jeremy (Kevin's nephew) and his brother Jadin and I even bumped into Laurin Barlo the drummer. We enjoyed the company, meeting Kevin's friends Derick and Jessica...we all laughed a lot. I also bumped into a couple of Spring Hill staff that work with Melee (our God daughter)...it was nice to chat with them too. Luann and I stayed up way too late talking but it was wonderful.
And...I wasn't totally dead today. It is pretty encouraging to have increased my activity level and still be making progress...don't worry mom and all my "mom" type friends...I am still pacing myself.
Well I have a big day tomorrow...YFC Golf Classic is tomorrow.
So good night.

ON THE UPSWING

I have had 4 very encouraging days. Yesssssssssssss! It feels so nice to be up and around for the majority of the day again. I am being careful to still pace myself...I don't want a set back! I got some awesome pictures of a butterfly too. I know it doesn't sound all that exciting but it was! If I can figure out how to do it I will post some. Saturday I was even able to drive myself to run errands - got my hair chopped off (Dan calls it "bopsy") and grocery shopped. Big day out! Looking forward to many more to come.

MEMORY VERSE

I'm starting to memorize James 1 so here goes 2-4 from memory...

2 Dear brothers and sisters. (Whenever trials -oops) Whaterver trouble)come your way let it be an opportunity for joy. 3 For when your faith is tested (it is a chance for) your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow, (and) for when your endurance is fully developed you will be strong in character and ready for anything. (NLT)

Ok, so I still have some work to do. Knowing something in NIV and switching to NLT is a chore...I now understand the stress on all those King James to NIV issues those "old" people have. (Hee Hee.)

BACK IN THE OFFICE

I actually drove myself to and from the YFC office today! Wow. It was great to be back if only for a few hours.

BEING STILL

"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds floatr across the sky, is hardly a waste of time." Sir J Lubbock.

Thanks Greg and Kathy for the card with the above quote. I am assuming then that spending hours watching the 4 baby Robins in the nest in the backyard is also not "idleness."

"Be still and know that I am God..." Psalm 46:10.

Although I don't understand my "opportunities" to be still, I will do my best to make the most of them. To know God more.

PSALM 27

(Psalm 27 Patti style)

Th Lord is my light, my salvation, and my protector
I wil not be afraid
I will remain confident
The one thing I desire most is to live in your house every day of my life
To delight in your holiness
To meditate on your word
When troubles come, in your sanctuary
I am safe, I will praue yo with sacrifices and joy
Listen to my cry and answer me
My heart has haerd you say "come and talk with me"
My heart responsds - "I am here"
If all athers abond me, Lord hold me close
Teach me to live in honesty
Your goodness is wiht me eery day of my life
I will be brave and courageous as I wait patiently for the Lord

RIP: LAPTOP

I felt like we had entered a computer ER-morgue all rolled into one. I sat and watched in trepedation as they did what began as surgery but ended up an otopsy on my beloved lap top. Crazy how totally dependant I have become on that thing. But...
I had backed up the hard drive to an external unit just two weeks ago and the final version of the follow up Bible study Trent and I had just finished was on it - YES!
Lost was the T-shirt design Ryan Bushnell and I had just done for the Smokies trip so my first task today is to recreat that.
So advice of the day. Back up your lap top every day!

GRADUATES

Today starts the graduation open houses tour. I think that means two weekends without having to cook!!!

Mallory- you are treasured. Thank you for choosing to spend much of your vacation time during your high school carrier out here in Sunfield with UD and I. We love you. But we are still tracking how much you owe us for the pleasure of our company and can't wait until you get rich and send that big fat check!!! And remember 1958.

My Prayer for you (and Jon, Kelsey, Jessica, and . . . )
"Lord from Your glorious, unlimited resources give her mighty inner strength through Your Holy Spirit. May Christ be more and more at home in her heart as she trusts in You. May her roots go down deep into the soil of Your marvelous love. And may she have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep Your love really is. May she experience the love of Christ, though it is so great she will never fully understand it. Then she will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from you Lord God. Glory be to You God! By Your mighty power at work within her, she is able to accomplish infinitely more than she would ever dare to ask or hope. To Your Glory. Amen" (From Eph 3:16-21)
