Whoa, you just never know!!!

Dayton came home from work today and told me that one of his buddies from work shot himself last night! Apparently, on purpose. He is in the hospital now so D~ went to visit and see if there's anything we can do. No word about his status yet... I am stunned! We never really know what's going on with those around us! May God bless their family and bring healing to the situation that caused him to take such drastic action!

Lord you are gracious and compassionate in all things; Your mercy endures forever! Grant peace and restoration to this family and draw them into you warm embrace! Lift this man out of the desperation which has overwhelmed him, redeem his self-inflicted injury and fill his heart with love and gratitude.

Amen & Amen...

So says Angie...

My friend Angie informed me at one of my various semi-blog locations that I needed a real blog... I have known this for awhile but have been resistant because I got my feelings hurt when a group of my best friends in the world abandoned me on my previous blog (360) without a word & came here -- my husband and I were the only members not invited to join the "new" network and we were referred to in a less than kind manner on various sites here. I am still struggling with hurt feelings but I suppose that's no reason to boycott BlogSpot any longer (I admit to being much more sensitive than people realize and I've come to embrace that sensitivity), especially as most of the people I blog-stalk are here (Hey, Angie, I'm sooo stalking your mom now too, tee-hee). So, here I am! I prefer to be appreciated rather than tolerated but I can handle a different point of view (actually, I kinda enjoy a good debate.) Let's not take each other too seriously -- always assume I'm joking 'cuz it's my personality and if I really have an issue I promise to take it up in privately (there's not a passive-aggressive bone in my body; I confront things head-on or write them off completely.)










Let's go! Yallah!!!
