Dear Friends

Thank you - I feel your hugs. And honest my family is going to need your good thoughts :)

Regretfully - the freud started last night.  My Aunt's family has had some issues amoung themselves and would or will not talk to deal with a situation. Now it is out. 

 I cannot go into details and I am sorry if I sound like a soap opera - but hey - that does describe it.  I had a long phone call with one cousin and  he is so looking for me to get down there - I guess he and others feel I can mediate.  Al i do is say it like it is - how hard is that? . And down there means - Southern IL - Murphysboro - Carbondale.  I am the Yankee of the family.

Carol - I like Michele idea - make the call - maybe something can be done.

I still have my fingers corssed for you to have good luck :)

 

I have another confession  I was going to share this earlier, but family situation here was first.

This site - as is the Japan Moms' site - is a welcome spot to be and everyone on both sites,  talk freely and with  feelings and without judgement. 

A big discussion happen on the Japan site - about faith - and the door was open.

So you can say : I  came out of the Broom Closet.  Say hi to the Witch.

 I share this because I wanted no one here to  feel I did not trust you to know.

I also know from the past  - this faith strikes fear.  And I cannot stay here if I have made anyone afraid of me or who just does not want me to stay.

 My faith demands of me: No harm to anyone and myself.  And that is in thoughts - deeds or words. 

I really love and feel your prayers and apprieciate them. When you have asked for prayers - I light a candle to forcus the need you ask for to be sent to you and for you to see the light and feel ease and healing.  Then when I see it burn through out the day - I think of the person in need to forcus what they asked for.

If you are all ok with this - let me know Thank you

What a horrible tragedy for those airman committed by a madman.  I am upset because the news media gave the story, at most, 30 seconds of coverage.  Charlie Sheen's coverage lasted at least 5 minutes.  What is wrong with the news media? Where are their priorities!
Comment by T-Lynn on March 2, 2011 at 8:51pm

Oh darn Carol, I was so hoping it was working out for you

I am so sorry.  But I willnot stop asking teh Creator to bless you and find youthe help you ask for. ( at work and cheaper meds)

Also, please all - I am lightning two candles placing them on my porch to remember the two Airman.  join me in prayer for them and their families.
