Back for a moment
Hi folks. Haven't been here for a few weeks (months?) and just wanted to drop a line to explain why. On the twelth of March my father passed away. Ten days later my only aunt was found dead in her home. Two weeks after that I lost one of my sisters, and the very next day my mother was diagnosed with advanced cancer and given four months to live. She is very low at this time and we don't expect her to be with us for long, but she is at peace with going home to be with her Savior. Knowing the Lord makes it so much easier in times of trouble.
I'll be by from time to time as life allows. Keep smiling folks. We serve a wonderful God.

edlong my Brother! So sorry for the trials your family is going thru right now. Prayers for strength and peace are already flowing.
Please don't be distant. We miss you around here.
Hang tough edlong. Goodbyes are difficult, but according to His promise, they are not forever.
God Bless!
