Urgent Prayer Request

We were invited to eat lunch with a family from church today. So we had a great meal followed by relaxed conversation. Some other folks came in while we were there. It was the husband (Lucas) and the father of our children's SS teacher. They were still there when we left. Everyone rested for a while when we got home. Then about 15 minutes before church we got a call. Lucas had been hurt and they were waiting for an ambulance.

He and his father-in-law were at a pond and there was a rope. The way I understand it Lucas was swinging on it and hit the water in such a way that he was badly injured. In fact, had his father-in-law not been there to get him out he would have drowned. It was reported earlier that he had broken his right arm and had possibly broken his neck. Cat scan results show no broken bones in his neck but he is experiencing severe swelling in his neck around his spinal cord and up into his head. The FisherMan just called a few minutes ago and he is now being transported to a bigger hospital where a neurosurgeon can be on call.

Would you please pray for Lucas? This is a beautiful family. His wife serves faithfully in our church and they have two precious children. They could also use your prayers. God works in every circumstance and this is no exception. So pray for physical healing and that God's hand will be revealed throughout this ordeal. Thank you so much!

    I will most definitely pray! How horrible! At church this week, we learned that as being christians, it does not preclude us from heartache. To me , this is a reminder of just that. Please let their family know that they are in our prayers!

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Happenings Around Here

Well, another dog lost. :( This time it wasn't a car but something more sinister...a rattlesnake. She was bitten yesterday evening and lasted about 4 1/2 hours. Poor little Chi-Chi is only about 6 pounds or so and just couldn't take the venom. LadyBug seems to be taking it the hardest among the children. Our Bassett Hound, Daisy, and Chi-Chi are the best of friends and poor Daisy has spent the day looking for her. So sad. The GuitarMan has finished his semester and is home now. I introduced him to Pilates this morning. We worked out together. Ha ha, now if that wasn't a sight I just don't know what would be! He has a new found admiration for it now though. Afterwards I cut the FisherMan's hair outside under the plum tree while the children played in the pool. He asked if there was a way we could be any more redneck. I had plenty of ideas on that if he wanted but he didn't want to take part lol. Apparently it was a rhetorical question. This week was one of apprec...

Why the Hurry?

We are indulging in an early lunch today after having a late breakfast. I would say it is due to growth spurts but I'm not sure. Unfortunately mine tend to be outward rather than upward so I am hoping that isn't the case for Mama! :P As I went towards the kitchen to fix lunch LadyBug frantically called, "Wait, wait! Mama look at my picture!" She had worked so hard to color a kitty in a coloring book. The head was royal blue and the body orange while it sported a jaunty red bow. (Just so you Auburn fans know it...there was some Crimson Tide thrown in there, ha!) I praised her for staying in the lines while in my head I thought of how an adult would have had to made it look more real. Have you noticed that about children? The majority of young children never color a picture to look real. They use different colors all over. FlowerChild used to color pictures of people and animals with a pattern of up to 8 colors at a time! Have you ever seen a plaid horse? How about a st...
