Just more thoughts and doings...

On a good note.. I finally cleaned off my desk and ALL that clutter! YAHOO!!! There's still a little pile of stuff to go through and "do" with, but all in all it's ok.

Dennis got his new glasses yesterday and was absolutely amazed with the difference his eyes have had in just one years time. Me too. Mine continue to get worse, and I finally just asked the doc flat out... "Will I be blind eventually?" He told me that barring any disease, no, I wouldn't go blind. THANK YOU GOD!!! I just can't understand why I am continuing to get worse each year. But faithfully, he fixes me up and I continue to see.... This time, however, I just decided to get the lined bifocals instead of trying to hide everything about myself in the search for perpetual youth.... LOL!

Children are doing ok. We did alot of math today in school. Especially since I discovered that my 9th grader has fairly the same math skills as my 4th grader (and the 7th grader the same). So we just hit fractions today and are adding them. Tomorrow we will subtract them and see where we come up. I plan on hitting math daily until we are caught up.

No new news about Dad. Excpt the biopsy came back malignant and during the procedure his lung collapsed. There's a chest tube in place now, and he is being kept sedated so he doesn't pull it out.

I plan on calling my step Mom later tonight and seeing if there has been any changes in his condition.

Thank you for the prayers.

Believe me, we can use them!

Dad

After a battery of tests and setbacks and hurdles to jump.....today...today I found out that my Dad has lung cancer.

I know that the Lord gives us no more than we can bear, but just how strong does He think I am?

Normally, my Daddy is a clean shaven fella... just more proof that he hasn't felt well lately.

This was taken the day before he was admitted to the hospital.

Please pray for my Dad.

He is such a good, decent, strong, loving man.

And I love him so very much.
