Diane--How was Gorden???
Awwwwww....I bet Diane was some majorly disappointed.
I hope things pan out when he does show up.
And how are things with you, Connie? Been thinking about you a lot, and keeping you and Nic and family in prayer.
Today is a national holiday up here in Canada--called 'Civic Holiday'. Just a free day from the government to give us poor working stiffs another long weekend in the summer, since that's sooo short. So most offices and stores are closed (except WallyMart, of course).
Today is another significant day--at least it is for the McEachern family. Today marks the 15th year since my beloved died. And if I've learned ANYTHING from this ordeal, it's that people are given so much time to live, and that's it. Some people are give 4 months to live, some people 6 years, others maybe 42 years, others are given maybe 80 years. If someone is on their deathbed and rallies, well, it's not because of a miracle, it's because it wasn't their time. I've come to believe this because Dan should've been healed--half of North America was praying for him! It was 'just' his time. And of course, it's not so much HOW much time you're given, but WHAT you do with the time you've got.
And this concludes my sermon for the day.
LOVE YOU, SWEETIE!

Hello Sue...I am doing okay. This summer has been such a blur!!
I swear most of it was in a vechile and away from my home.
Nic is doing okay too. Bless his wonderful heart!! I know you always keep him and all of us in your prayers. I really appreciate that so much.
I hope all goes well and I am still able to attend Lucy and Randall's Wedding in September. I will be riding with Darla and a couple others from the MN board( Rose and Sherry). We will be stopping in Nashville along the way. What a great time that will be. Can you imagine experiencing Nashville with Darla. Hope we don't get arrested...LOL!! I am soooooo excited!!
I am saying prayers for you and your family as well. Especially today on the anniversary of your husband's death. God Bless you and yours!
I love you to pieces sweetie!!

Thanks, Connie! You are a wonderful friend! I can't wait 'til we meet again.
WOW! What a road trip that would be! The trip to beat all road trips!! I expect that Lucy and Randy's wedding will be spectacular and mightily blessed in all ways! Would sooo love to go! You guys will have to take tons of pictures.
My job hunting isn't producing much. No calls yet--not even for a shelf-stocker in grocery stores so's I can pay the rent! I've been told to be patient because students and interns are going to be leaving to return to school at the end of the month. I sure hope that's the case!
Your prayers in this matter are greatly appreciated!

Oh Sue, you are so right! It is all pre-planned. I have a story saved on my computer that kinda relates to that. I am going to post it here, hope no one minds.
I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning...to the end. He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke the following date with tears. But, he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. (1934 -1998) For that dash represents all the time that they spent alive on earth... And now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own, the cars...the house...the cash, what matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard... Are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left, that can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough to consider what's true and real, and always try to understand the way other people feel. To be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we've never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, and more often wear a smile. Remembering that this special dash might only last a little while. So, when your eulogy's being read with your life's actions to rehash... Would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your dash?

Thanks, Kelly~
Your story is sooo neat. I've got it saved on my 'puter now too.
The 'dash' is really food for thought.
My hubby was 'only' 42 when he died. He fought the cancer with everything he had, but the cancer won (undiagnosed thyroid cancer that morphed into wildfire esophogeal cancer). My hubby was a 'people people' who helped any one who needed it, but he thought he was a just a 'regular' guy. At his funeral, there was an honour guard of boy scouts, and a parade of antique cars. The church was packed. The luncheon ran out of food! People who wanted to share their memories of Dan and how he impacted their lives formed lines that ran for an hour. I guess Dan's dash was well spent. The most important part was that he loved God first, family next, and everybody else after. And this was so obvious the way he lived his life.
