Well, one small and thin nun had HUGE feet... well, they looked HUGE because she was wearing really wild (several colors) bulky athletic shoes. I got the quiet giggles. wonder why she didn't just buy plain black ones. I'm sure her attire would have made a great greeting card photo. toodles - Wednesday, December 31, 2008 10:36 AM CST hi there Alisa here it is from Julian's page: Ok, you guys all say you want to make a difference .

AJ's dad and all of us cancer parents want to ask him this : "Childhood cancer is the #1 killer disease of our kids: 46 are diagnosed & 7 die each day. Additional funding is needed for research into better treatment options. Will you include funding in your budget to prioritize research to save our kids?" Please VOTE for OUR question !!! DO NOT WRITE UP ANOTHER QUESTION AND DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THIS ONE AS A NEW QUESTION !!!!! or we will not make it to the first top 10 united under one question !!! This is very important !

" mrs pam - Wednesday, December 31, 2008 10:31 AM CST hi there family yippee... yesterday I found two Candy Cane Crosses. We have about four major Christian stores here. I went to three of them after I opened your cross. but, had no luck finding any. So, I went to the Catholic Supply Center. They also had a Childhood Cancer Bracelet, but the beads on it were more amber color than gold. So, I asked if they had any other childhood cancer items. She found a SunCatcher angel, but again the gold ribbon was really amber. so I didn't buy it. But, at least, things are being made. yesterday on Julian's page was something I was going to copy for you, will do it now, and come back. just opened my cute hummingbird coasters... super since I think I set a record on hummingbird sightings this year. lots of love from.... Mrs. Pam - Wednesday, December 31, 2008 10:27 AM CST hi there family wellllllllllll... I didn't do any reading yesterday. Gayle and Kate came around 10, and she fixed my screen and sound, but could not create address labels. apparently, I need office-works or something. not that important anyway. but I also need to buy speakers if I really want to hear because even with my hearing aids, I have no clue. so, around 4:30, I called the sewer folks to see when they were coming. I was told they had already been there, but I wasn't home. hmmm obviously, it was not put on the order that deaf lady needed them to bang on the door. so, they came back at 5:30. just thankful that all is well, but a little bummed that I didn't do much yesterday. ALISA, YOU ARE AMAZING! YOU FOUND A NATIVITY THAT I DON'T HAVE... NOT EVEN ANYTHING CLOSE. VERY, VERY CUTE. THANK YOU. I'm thinking that it would be neat if I could display lots of my Nativities at church next year in fellowship hall, but since 'we' don't decorate for Christmas until after the last Sunday in Advent, it is hardly worth it. of course, I haven't proposed this idea to anyone. I sorta missed seeing all of my nativities this year, although I probably have about 20 out. I am very excited today because I am going to have lunch with Mrs. Pryibil. I see her about once or twice a year, and I miss her! toodles - Tuesday, December 30, 2008 10:23 AM CST Always hope in the Lord. He's always there for you! Praying!!!!!!!

Prayer Bears My email address Lynn Worley Seattle, WA USA - Sunday, December 28, 2008 11:14 PM CST hi there familly yippee... I opened the book Grace today, and I will definitely be reading it tomorrow. I'm impressed that it was autographed. we had REALLY wild rain yesterday, and it made me nervous. but the basement only leaked a little, and I was able to keep up with it, and the sewer was fine. however, this morning when I went down, I saw that the sewer had back up a couple of inches, and stopped. so, I couldn't decide if I need to be nervous or not. I went to church and left after the sermon and anthem, and came home, and the sewer was status-quo. so, I have the roto=rooter folks scheduled for tomorrow. hence, time to read. and kate never came yesterday, so maybe she'll come tomorrow. am getting ready to go to Marge's for her family Christmas dinner/party. toodles - Sunday, December 28, 2008 12:13 AM CST hi there Devin right now my day is on hold because Kate Guthrie is going to come over and try to fix my screen so that it can be full size, and to see if she can fix it so I can print address labels. last night I taped Doc Hollywood, and I just watched it... except for the END... so many commercials that my tape ran out. oh well, at least I got to see the cute pig. I opened the cute doggy music box from Willie and Maddie, and the black amethyst lotions. thanks! lots of love from....

I wish I could even write an essay - but to win a prize is just wonderful. Congratulaions! Whatever piece of furniture you chose, I will try it out when again in SLC. I talked to your Gma last night - she was busy. Wrapping packages! Can you believe it! An experience to be in a math program in San Diego, huh? And to go to Sea World - hey, I "wanna" go to Sea World too! Am sure your mom will write about your trip - and - about your trip to the furniture store. A.

Prayer Bears My email address Lynn Worley Seattle, WA USA - Monday, December 22, 2008 0:07 AM CST Hi there Alisa Where did you get the cross? I'd love to get some for some very special Pen Pals. Last week on Aven's page, mom Heather said that the book "The Legend of the Candy Cane" was Aven's favorite Christmas story. Daughter Claudia (this is the family that I took to the Zoo last summer with Steven) didn't remember the book. but mom has a picture reading it to both children. anyways, she said that she cried as she was reading it to Claudia. I did a library serach for it, but it wasn't there. I told them that in the guestbook. This morning I opened my mail from yesterday., and there was THE BOOK sent from Aven's family. WOW!! of course, I had to cry a little bit. It is a beautiful book!!! lots of love from.... Mrs. Pam - Sunday, December 21, 2008 8:37 AM CST hi there Alisa I forgot to say THANK YOU FOR THE CANDY CANE CROSS!! I really love it. I didn't see it yesterday because it was wedged between the books. I took Mrs. Guthrie's to school and put it in her Sunday School room, so she will get it tomorrow. lots of love from.... Mrs. Pam - Saturday, December 20, 2008 6:24 PM CST hi there Devin yippe... the cookies are here! I looked like a maniac trying to open those boxes. Wow., Maddie and Willie have been shopping big time overtime! THANKS, Alisa!!!! i got all the books addressed with my card attached, and thought I'd be delivering today. 8 out of 11 kiddos live off of Craig Road. I mailed Brynn's because she just moved way west. So, this morning I went to school to make a bulletin board for church.. it turned out very cute. Then I went to church to put it up because I won't be there tomorrow because I'll be at Mt. Zion singing with the choir for the big advent service. then I went to Sam's to take four rolls of film... and they have upped their prices, and it was not worth it because I don't have a card, and I have to get Gayle's... so came back to Dierberg's (the grocery store down the street) and took the film there, and then it was too dark to see the addresses,. SO will take your books tomorrow. However, tonight I am playing bridge on a street where 3 kids might live. The street is on both sides of Craig. So, maybe I'll deliver some tonight. lots of love from.... Mrs. Pam - Saturday, December 20, 2008 5:29 PM CST hi there Devin Alisa.... WHERE ARE THOSE COOKIES!!!!? Last night at dinnertime, I thought cookies would be perfect... so I checked the porch. NO cookies, but it was a good thing I went out there because I got flowers from Marge's boss, and a package for the Preschoolers. So, today when I checked the mail I had a BIG box from you and your package for the Pen Pals.... very cute books,,, thanks.., and since most of the kiddos live real close, I will try to deliver them tomorrow (and I'll write my thank yous for the present they gave me today... a fleece blanket with "ornaments" that each child decorated or wrote his name) and save postage.) So, back to your box... I opened it and got peanuts all over the place, and found a really cute Christmas artificial flower arrangement, and i thought I'd tell you that they were dry, so I watered them really well. There was a tag on the flowers with the name of the florist, and I just thought I'd see what florist it was. welllllllllllllllll... inside that little tag was the message that the sender was NOT you, but my sisiter-in-law. How embarassing if I had thanked you and never acknowledged Patsie. Guess who didn't send Patsie anything? ugh!! toodles - Friday, December 19, 2008 4:46 PM CST So much going on there! So did you share the snow with me or am I about to send you some more? We have over 6" on the ground here...I don't DO winter anymore! Thought I'd left that behind in IA and IL! Hope Devin has a wonderful time! And Kara looks pretty happy! Know that I'm here praying! Psalms 86:4-7 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

I was getting ready to get dressed when Marge called to say the it was sleeting and that the news said 2 more hours. I actually think it would have been okay. I got a call from the head of Nightingales, but since I can't really understand what is being said on my answering machine, I think she said that the other folks were there. I'll just save their Christmas presents for 2009. Today: school, bridge, back to school/church for the Women's Club Christmas dinner and also my choir rehearsal. will be packing a suitcase for the day. Today is our Gift Exchange at school. what are the odds of all the kids being there, and bringing a present. ????? prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Wednesday, December 17, 2008 6:53 AM CST Know that you're still in my thoughts and prayers!

Prayer Bears Email Me Lynn Worley Seattle, WA USA - Thursday, December 11, 2008 11:58 PM CST Hi there Devin golly... I can't believe how late it has gotten. Today I cleaned out one of my junk drawers in the kitchen. I won't admit how far back some of the receipts were dated. Discovered that it isn't good to spill a bag of coffee from the top shelf of the refrigerator because it can hit all the shelves not only below but also in the door, and more on the floor. need to head to the grocery store. I got a Heavenly Ham yesterday from a former student's family, and I told Gayle that I'd bring lunch tomorrow. also need to get something for the choir party on sat. decided now to take miniature bread slices with honey mustard and heavenly ham, and a dollop of cheese (squirt from the can) to look sooooo gourmet. did you think it will? do you think I'll talk to mama before Christmas? I changed the message on my answering machine (finally!) just for her! prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Thursday, December 11, 2008 3:02 PM CST hi there Devin Yappee dappy doo!!! Oh boy, I am just smiling from ear to ear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We've been making some cute ornaments at school this year. Our theme is It's a Candy Cane Christmas....... for Jesus. So all our ornaments are red and white. the first one being a beaded candy cane hung as a "J" for Jesus. the background of the board is candy cane stripe... sorta makes the eyes dizzy, so I cover a little bit with BIG poinsettias that we made a few years ago, and a few clouds. The rest is trees and a cute Nativity (mom, baby and angel) that three kids painted. The angel started as Joseph, but was rather small compared to Mary and baby, so voila.. add wings! Today they will finish making their Rudolph tiles for dads, and make the Rudolph out of a plastic candy cane. Yesterday I went to church to bake and to wrap the presents for the preschoolers. We're giving each child three things, and since we are having our breakfast with santa at church, there will be two siblings (I think), and I wrapped presents for them, too, since they probably wouldn't understand why they were not included. Did Maddie wear her Santa outfit when she visited Santa. Does Willie REALLY want a shower... actually that might be fun! happy prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Wednesday, December 10, 2008 8:01 AM CST Continuing to pray!

Prayer Bears Email Me Lynn Worley Seattle, WA USA - Tuesday, December 9, 2008 8:19 PM CST Hi Devin, Been wondering how the scans went, when will you have the results? I went to Edinburgh today, Oma and me went on the bus because it doesn't cost us anything,and Trudi went on the train because that doesn't cost her anything. If we'd gone on the train it would have cost us £10 each. We met up just around the same time. It was so very cold, we had hot roasted chestnuts, lovely. We didn't stay too long and were back home around 3pm. What are you and Kara getting for Christmas? Kayla wants a laptop so she can play with her Webkinz, Kyle is getting a DSlite, the boys are getting computers and they also want BAKUGAN, and FUNKEYS, do you have them, maybe you're to old for them, I don't know if boys your age play with toys, never having had boys of my own, my grandsons are a new experience for me. Poor wee Kyle went to the doctor's today again, he has another stinking cold, so will be off school for a few days, wonder if the other kids will get it. They have their nativity plays soon.

I'd forgotten, and if I had made the call, and IF mom had been home... guess who would have not been at the luncheon. It was delicious. so, just tried calling. but now success.

It was great, and the flowers around the displays were gorgeous, too. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Saturday, December 6, 2008 7:06 PM CST Hi there Devin gosh... sure hope that guy was not really trying to hurt you. glad your arm is not broken, but I am sure it is painful. ugh. today the kids are painting their angels on the pillows for Moms... always cute. Mrs. G. does an amazing job sewing the pillows with a flange, and I get to trace their designs on the top. Mr. G. is visiting his mom in NC, so Mrs. G, and I will do something tonight. (actually I'm hoping to find a box for your Christmas presents so that she can carry it to the post office) Last year we went to St. Charles for their old fashioned Christmas happenings, and maybe we'll do it again tonight if it isn't too cold. Merry Christmas Party, Kara!! prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Friday, December 5, 2008 7:14 AM CST Why's everyone talking about Devin's arm?!!!!!!!!!!! Continuing to pray!

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <prayingprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Friday, December 5, 2008 0:07 AM CST Hi Devin, Yes, what has happened to your arm???????? Oh, we had an awful night last night. It was just before midnight, I went upstairs to have a bath, Kenny was still downstairs, I was running the bath when all of a sudden there was water pouring down everywhere, I screamed for Kenny to come quickly, but he only has one speed (slow) by the time he got up here, the water was coming down in the stairwell too. He ran down to turn it off at the main, then we had to put pots and buckets everywhere to try to catch the water. He had to go out the back to get the ladders then climb up into the loft, to find out where the water was coming from. There was about two inches on the bathroom floor which I was trying to dry up. After a while it stopped pouring down, and Kenny just couldn't find out what was going on, he eventually decided the overflow wasn't taking the back flow, or something like that. We kept the radiators on all night trying to dry out the carpet on the stairs, it's still wet tonight, but IS drying. Anyway, everything is OK again. I sure hope that doesn't happen again any time soon. It was after 3am when we eventually got to bed, and we had to be up for the kids at 7.30am, needless to say we didn't do anything this morning, we just watched a DVD.

Have you asked for anything special for Christmas? None of the kids can make up their minds here, although Kayla did ask if I could buy her a double buggy and a boy doll, and Kyle wants Ben Ten things. What about Kara? Weren't the pen-pals lucky to have a pig visit them? I know four kids who would have loved that.

It's so great to hear how much he is enjoying school, Nicole's biggest complaint also is the times when she has to miss a day for a doctors appointment. I am so glad to hear how good Devin's feeling and it's been over 3yrs since diagnosis? Nicole is just over 2yrs, we know the fears don't ever go away but we are proud that it's moving away from the danger zones.

"our" pig was cute... but we were outside in the play yard so our farmer outfits didn't show in the photos. The pig's owner had a falling out with her business partner who was supposed to bring the chicken or goat. the mom who arranged all this is going to write, and say we should get a refund for that portion of the arrangement. JUST FINISHED all my Christmas decorating!! Put the tree up this morning, and watched Miracle of 34th street, and cried a little bit when Santa's mail was delivered to the court house. (guess I'll never grow up). The bridge group is coming to my house this Wednesday, so I don't plan on having any visitors during December, so all the decorations are just for one old person. SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE SO HAPPY WITH SCHOOL THIS YEAR. YIPPEE!!! Toodles - Saturday, November 22, 2008 12:07 AM CST hi there Devin mama pig is coming today!

I had a really nice time with Trudi and the boys on Sunday night, we went into the centre of town where there was a great celebration, we had the Glasgow gospel Singers, then the guy who came in second on a TV talent show, then The Singing Kettle, finally the Lord Provost (like a mayor) switched on the Christmas lights and THEN, a wonderful fireworks display from the top of the city chambers, (town hall). You would have loved those fireworks, they were terrific and seamed to go on for ages. Kyle couldn't come because he wasn't feeling well, and Kayla isn't keen on fireworks, although she would have loved everything else. Do you have a switching on of lights in your town?

She's getting her kitchen countertops and sink this morning, so she doesn't know how long that will be. I think I'll ask her to bring my Christmas tree up. I WANT TO SEE THOSE LIGHTS!!! Prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Tuesday, November 18, 2008 9:57 AM CST hi there Devin well, it warmed up yesterday, and that was a nice surprise! so after church, I went to the Zoo to see what they had in their Holiday Boutique. I got you guys a few things, but I was sorta disappointed that there wasn't anything really terrific. But, I figure every little purchase might help feed those hungry hippos! Then I went over to the History Museum, and actually found a parking spot! They were having the ribbon cutting for a miniature steam engines display. The owner is in his 90s, and he had his engineer outfit on, and cut the ribbon, and I actually was next to him in the outside display tent.... which was about the size of my house, so it would have been interesting to know his set-up at his home. Each car costs between $600-$1100! I have to admit that I didn't hear what makes the cars run. But something is put in the engine and then lit which heats the water that makes the steam. it was fun to see. Tonight I'm having dinner with Patio Patty and Snooks 'cuz yesterday was Patty's b-day. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Monday, November 17, 2008 7:07 AM CST The Lord is always with you!

I've already told the choir director that I didn't think I'd be there for the midnight Christmas Eve service. In the "olden days", I always went to someone's house on Christmas Eve, so staying awake wasn't a problem. But, I know that I wouldn 't be able to do that at home. plus, it would make me sorta a zombie on the 25th. How's all that for my rationalization? toodles - Sunday, November 16, 2008 8:48 AM CST hi there Devin been awake since 3:30.. got up at 4 and got my bedroom Christmasy... the crazy thing about downsizing my decorations this year is that just about everything I've put out has been brought UP from the basemebnt. Not planning on doing all the shelves and cabinets and the 100+ nativities nor the bathtub.maybe next year I'll entertain again. I have bunko this afternoon and bridge tonight. sure ought to take a nap if I expect to stay away until 11. ugh. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Saturday, November 15, 2008 7:53 AM CST Devin: Popping in to say Hello & wish you a weekend full of happy memories.

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <prayingprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Wednesday, November 5, 2008 0:10 AM CST Hi Devin Did you have a good weekend away, are you home yet? I agree with Mrs Pam, those are HUGE pumpkins. Did you go out guising Kara? you looked great in your witches outfit. Tomorrow is Guy Fawkes, I can't remember if I ever told you about him. He was born in 1570 in York, England. In 1605 he was involved in the gun powder plot to blow up the houses of parliament and kill King James 1st of England who was also James 6th of Scotland. It had to do with religion. Anyway, there is a saying here. "Remember, remember the 5th of November" and it has been celebrated ever since with bonfires where a guy is thrown on top and there are lots of fireworks. There are organised fireworks displays in parks. We usually have fireworks here and Denis,Kenny and Craig are in charge. this year Denis will be away at work, and Kayla has her dancing, so we'll probably just have some sparklers and watch all the other fireworks going off all over the place, the sky is usually lit up for hours. We are saving our fireworks for Friday evening when we are hoping to have a bonfire up at the church, well not in the church, LOL, in the grounds.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

She gave them back to me saying we had another week before Trivia. ugh. I knew it was the 18th, but for some dumb reason, I thought tomorrow was the 18th ... ????? so, I took down another bulletin board that had old photos, and redid the Trivia Night. stupid, huh? mrs pam - Friday, October 10, 2008 8:04 AM CDT Know that I'm always here praying!

Isaiah 53:3-5 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayl Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Thursday, September 11, 2008 2:55 PM CDT so, I think I should write your message and copy it since I can not do that scrolling thing. Anyway, I went to school this morning to clean up just in case we don't have school tomorrow. I know that the parents could park across the street and walk, but I imagine that it might not be okay to have school if an ambulance or firetruck were not able to get to us. of course, they could just mess up the lot, but Preschool would not be able to pay for it to be fixed. toodles - Thursday, September 11, 2008 9:29 AM CDT hi there Devin I'm going to try to call Mom a little later. The parking lot at school is supposed to be paved today, and we won't be able to drive on it for 24 hours.

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Wednesday, September 10, 2008 11:39 PM CDT Hi there Devin The traffic getting to the Zoo was awful. a normal 25 minute trip took 1 1/2 hours!!! ugh. but, my friend Sudie and I got there just as the dinner was being served. The Zoo always puts someone important at each table. We had Jack, who is the Curator for Baby Animals, and his wife at our table. That was fun to hear him tell about happenings at the St.Louis Zoo, and other Zoos. Jack came to St. Louis from the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. in 1986. The Smithsonian is in charge of the national Zoo (I didn't know that.) They had a Hippo named Happy. The director of the Zoo loved Happy because he could pat him on his nose, and toss him apples to eat. So he always took visitors to meet Happy. One time he took the Secretary of State (or someone like that) and his bodyguards, and had the Secretary of State toss Happy an apple.... WELL, somehow that apple go stuck in Happy's throat and to unlodge it, he sorta threw-up all over the secretary (who had to throw away his very expensive suit). The bodyguards were laughing uncontrollably. mrs pam - Wednesday, September 10, 2008 8:19 AM CDT Look to the Lord your only true refuge in every time of need! Praying! Psalms 91:9-12 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

I've never been before, but Junior and Peggy have gone for two years, so I upgraded. Jr. sent an e-mail saying that she is not going, and Peggy now has a 1-8 librarian job on Tuesday. Fortunately, I was able to sign up a guest, so Sudie is going with me. The Guthries are going, too, so we'll probably meet up with them. It would have been a little more fun with a few more friends....... prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Tuesday, September 9, 2008 12:32 AM CDT Your house is still standing, right? And now I get to be concerned about a tree crashing into Mrs. Pam's house?! Continuing to pray so hard!

I large branch had fallen on my garage roof.....but the good news is that it is my neighbors!! It didn't really do any damage as far as I can tell, and I would think he could probably saw it up and remove it himself. He has a HUGE dead tree in his front yard, and I keep thinking it will fall on my house (and do BIG damage). Mrs. G. said it is on a hill and will fall the other way. BUT what if the wind is blowing towards my house? Well, anyway looks like I was worrying about the wrong tree. And we didn't have any wild weather today. toodles - Monday, September 8, 2008 8:51 PM CDT Know that I'm here praying right now.

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Tuesday, September 2, 2008 11:44 PM CDT hi there devin well, the cable wasn't so easy to find. so, we went back to the apple store yesterday. it cost $19.....I don't know why the original salesperson said we would find it much cheaper other places. It took Hudson SEVERAL hours to find the stuff from my old computer. internet is much faster, but the size and color of ink are still hard to read. And my games that I played routinely every morning will not work on this upgraded computer. And since I have only one keyboard and mouse, it probably would be dumb to keep switching back and forth. plus the old computer is on the floor, and I can't really sit on the floor too much any more. I've read and deleted about 100 old e-mail messages. I should probably just delete all of the unread ones. you know what else I can't do....scroll up to see what I've already written in your guestbook. hmmm well, that's about it. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Tuesday, September 2, 2008 1:03 PM CDT hi there Devin computer is NOT updated. apparently the Guthries went to 2 stores, and could not find the right cable. ugh. so that means that right now I can not do any school work. I guess I'm not going to do anything special today... just waiting for my computer to be MY computer. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Monday, September 1, 2008 10:08 AM CDT It's Sunday and once again we read an amazing passage at church. Going to share the first few verses because they really hit home. Praying right now! Psalms 86:1-7 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

Hudson has to get a certain cable to get all my old stuff on here from my old computer. This writing is rather small and blue, and not too easy to read. Maybe he can change that. But, my e-mail now works. so, that's good. He'll be back later today to fix it. (hopefully) prayers and love from Mrs. Pam St. Louis, MO United States - Sunday, August 31, 2008 6:46 AM CDT You do realize that every time you don't update I have visions of the house having fallen down around you...but then you don't usually update everyday, so...I'll just have to be patient!

Praying! Habakkuk 3:17-19 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places... Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Friday, August 29, 2008 11:12 PM CDT Hi Devin, My, you look so grown up in that picture of you going to school, I bet you'll have a few girls after you. By the way, do you like girls? Gosh Alisa, You certainly have got a lot going on haven't you? it's scary to think what might have happened. Hopefully it will all get sorted out sooner rather than later. How are you coping with all those men hanging around your house? LOL We have subsidence in our house, it's been there long before we bought it over 35 years ago, most of the old houses in this area have it because there used to be coal mines all around here. The house is over 100 years old and so far it hasn't sunk any more. We don't have cellars like you do in America, we usually just have cement foundations laid and the houses are built on top of them. I really need to get someone to fix the roof as we've got some rain coming into the loft area, but I hate to use money for that, I'd rather spend it going to the caravan or on holiday, or even geocaching. The heating bills are getting very expensive because of the oil prices, and the petrol is now £5 a gallon, which means Kenny is putting £50 a week in the car which gets us to the caravan and him to work 3 days, also going to the hospital a couple of times a week to visit Walter. Maybe the lottery will come up eh? Hope you all have a great weekend. We're off to the caravan tomorrow rain or no rain. Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Friday, August 29, 2008 6:36 PM CDT Stopping by to let you know I'm still here praying!

And tell me, pray, why is all the calling up to you, Alisa? Does no one take responsibility for this mess? In the meantime, school continues, and I understand you like it. Good for you - school should be interesting and fun to learn. As the World Turns - or - As Your Yard Sinks!

I think we went to 6 different stores. There might be two more stores that we can go to. So, right now we have 10 Preschoolers. But, it would be nice to find 2 more Hortons, just to be safe. We don't need them until the end of March. Of course, maybe by that time they'll have a new supply. Heading out soon for Bridge.

I'm not very good at bargaining, but Trudi is an expert at it, although we don't go to Tenerife (Spanish) anymore and that's where we used to pick up our bargains. We've been busy geo-caching this weekend and got some really good ones, a red Jeep TB that was sent out from TEXAS, it's been all over the USA and even to Iraq, can you believe that? we also got a wee dog TB that originated from the USA too, and a dinosaur that was set off from the UAE. Alisa, I guess if you didn't laugh you would certainly cry with all that's going on with your house. You must be wodering what's going to happen next.

Charlene & BECKY /Ones Who Care . - Monday, August 25, 2008 8:55 AM CDT We read this psalm this morning in church. Wanted to share a portion of it...praying! Psalms 34:6-10 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Friday, August 15, 2008 0:06 AM CDT hi there Devin The electrician just left a few minutes ago. He was here for 2 1/2 hours. Before he got here all the electricity went off! Then about 1/2 an hour later, it all came back on. He could find NOTHING wrong, and thought that it must be a problem with the electric company. I am grateful for that, so I didn't mind the expense because it is worth it for peace of mind. He also put in the upgrade plug in the kitchen for the microwave. It came with a note saying that adapter plugs were not recommended. so, at least I got that taken care of. I'm heading up to school to copy a few papers, but that's it. I read a Max Lucado book while the electrician was here... so that was a help in relieving my nervousness. (I hate being such a wimp, but I guess I am, so I might as well accept it.) toodles - Thursday, August 14, 2008 5:39 PM CDT hi there Devin Your homepage doesn't open all the way. right now I am waiting for an electrician to call me.

Kate Guthrie is in town til tomorrow, and she is heading over now to show me how to find my printer, etc when it doesn't want to print. this time I am writing down her instructions.

I didn't sleep a wink on Saturday night at the caravan, it was like Chinese torture, that rain never stopped pounding all night long. I was praying that Kayla and family were safe in their tent. I phoned and they said that it wasn't too bad where they are, they did have a wee drip but managed to stay dry. Devin We found two caches on Sunday and two today, how are you doing? Kara So glad you are enjoying school, well done on the spelling Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Monday, August 11, 2008 6:45 PM CDT hi there Devin good grief! I never heard of a secondary water supply... why is it needed? who pays that water bill and who pays for this big mess in your backyard???? I'm thinking the city must pay if it is used to water the lawns. Right now I am VERY happy that I am writing in your guestbook. This morning I spilled a full glass of soda on my keyboard. I didn't know whether I should clean the floor or the keyboard first. I opted for the rug. Then I tried to dry the keyboard...but I guess I did it in. It would only type V and O and L and 2 even those weren't the keys I was hitting. And then it typed in a foreign language. So... Mrs. G and I worked at school this morning, and then we headed to the Apple store to buy a new keyboard. Out of luck, Charlie...they don't make my keyboard anymore. They don't sell "Tiger" for a new operations system. But they knew there was another Apple store that sold used keyboards. We headed there. They had a NEW keyboard...and obviously, it works. I was getting rather nervous thinking that I would never b able to get all my files opened. But, they do not sell Tiger which I guess I need in order for my e-mail to work. Said I should try on e-bay. So, maybe I'll be buying a new computer. maybe a laptop. That would be good for school, and I can just type the show and tells for our newspaper. super. I'll see what Hudson thinks. prayers and love from mrs pam - Monday, August 11, 2008 6:25 PM CDT Devin, Just stopping by to let u know that u are in my thoughts & prayers always. Be back soon.

Tina & Angel Lance <mommy2alilheroplus1@comcast.net> - Saturday, August 9, 2008 8:30 PM CDT Hi there Devin no, for the address...when I'm at the library, I usually make up a short address, but since hippos are my favorite zoo animal, I decided to go a little longer :-) we are having another nice weather day... and tonight is the last Muny...Fiddler on the Roof, one of my favorites. I can't believe how lucky we've been to have pretty good temps every Saturday night... actually, I wore a jacket one time this summer. heading to preschool to water flowers and sew. toodles - Saturday, August 9, 2008 7:59 AM CDT But tricks are fun! Now the question is...was that a real email addy or not! :o) Christ died that we might have hope and salvation through Him. Praying so right now! Isaiah 53:3-5 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Saturday, August 9, 2008 1:03 AM CDT hi there Devin no tricks today! we had really perfect weather, so I decided to go to the Botanical Garden to see the Niki Statues, and Patty went with me. Have you heard of Niki? She made huge glass and mosaic statues, They really looked good in the garden because they are so colorful, and some were sorta co-ordinated with nearby gardens. They have a new tram tour, so that was fun, and a good way to see all of the statues for a first time visit. We didn't actually do any walking, but we had lunch outside. So in less than a week, I've seen 3 of our major attractions. Well, at least sick Kara was with Mom! Let me tell you what happened to T & C when we were in 10th grade. They signed out sick to go home. And later one of our classmates called C to see how she was feeling. Well, they were not sick, and they did not go home, and they were EXPELLED!!!!! Thinking back on it, I just don't know why any of the other parents didn't speak up, and say perhaps a week-probation would have "fit the crime". or, why didn't any of the teachers come to their defense? xxoo mrs pam - Friday, August 8, 2008 3:06 PM CDT Is it April 1st and I missed it? Mr. Spam?! You know the good thing about homeschooling...you never have to worry if your kids are fake being sick. They knew they'd have to do school anyway since they were already AT school. Stopping by to let you know I'm continuing to pray. Ephesians 3:14-19 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

That's so funny, Kenny and me went to look at a Garmin Venture HC today, we didn't buy it though, we thought we'd give it a wee bit more thought. Is it easy to load the coords into? I don't have a clue how to do that and since it will be mainly me and the kids doing it I need to know I can.

I had my heating on tonight. Trudi took the boys into town to watch some motorcycle race, they came home soaked through. Have you been on any more geocaches yet? Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Wednesday, August 6, 2008 4:15 PM CDT Hi there Devin you know how I keep my glasses on a pin.... well, yesterday at the Zoo, Grandpa Mack noticed that I was missing a lens. And, I remembered hearing something hit the floor after I had "powered my nose", and checked to be sure that my gold ribbon pin hadn't fallen off. So when we got back to the Living World, we checked the ladies room. No lens. BUT, when I started thinking about the "clink on the floor", I thought maybe I had heard it at home. Sure enough, I found my lens at home. yippee. so, I'll get it put in today, and will probably get my eyes checked for new glasses, too. My eye doctor "vanished" a couple of years ago...building closed down, and can't find him on the internet. I really liked him, too. so, I'll just go to a local glasses store because I'm sure it would take too long to get an app't with a new doctor. I do have the # for Gayle's doctor, and should probably get established with her. toodles - Wednesday, August 6, 2008 7:10 AM CDT hi Dev and all! Just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you. love laura and grandma laura laura <freelikeabird1985@yahoo.com> - Wednesday, August 6, 2008 6:49 AM CDT Praying right now! Romans 8:15-18 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Just got back from our Zoo Tour with Steven for Pen Pal Claudia and her friends and family. There were 9 wonderful children and 6 wonderful grown-ups. First stop was the Hippo Harbor and we got to see Shelley feed the hippos. Of course, that was great! Then we got trammed to the Big Cat Country and saw the 5 baby tiger cubs who had just been introduced to the outside an hour before. So, we were one of the first folks to see that. Really cute. Mom would run, and they would dash after her. Then we went to the Children's Zoo, and Steven gave all of the kids a wee stuff hippo. had lunch, rode the train and saw the sea lion show. We had bottles of frozen water, and so although it was hot, it was not miserable. I just love how Steven takes care of us. prayers and love from mrs pam - Tuesday, August 5, 2008 2:50 PM CDT Thinking of you all. Sending hugs your way.

We have to thank you for bringing this exciting game to our attention, we're totally hooked. Kenny has a hand held GPS that he's had for many years, only trouble is, we don't know how to use it, can you use yours OK, ours is a Magellan. We even went looking for a cache on the way home from the theatre last night, we-didn't find it, but I'm sure we will today,LOL. most of the ones we found yesterday were nano's, what kind have you been finding? I got some Scottish key-rings I'll send you so that you can use them as caches. Hi Kara, Do you have Webkinz?

Gas has gotten so expensive, we haven't gone far from home this summer. Our Grandma and Grandpa came out to visit us this weekend from Hinkley Utah and we had a nice time. We love to go geocaching too. We have been doing it for about a year now. We even have two of our own caches here in Los Osos CA. It is so fun to hunt for the little treasure boxes. Hannah and Seth can never wait to see what treasures are in the cache! We are praying for you. Tell your mom we have been trying to E mail her for several months and it always comes back undeliverable. Please have her E mail us or call so we can get your correct info. and keep in touch more.

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Monday, August 4, 2008 0:37 AM CDT Hi Devin reading Mrs Pam's entry made me think of the great time we had at Grant's Farm, those goats were cheeky weren't they? they'd eat anything in sight. We went on a Murder Mystery hunt today, it was a lot of fun. Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Sunday, August 3, 2008 6:58 PM CDT hi there Devin sweet little Abby got her new heart today! Just got back from a fun afternoon with the Bohannons at Grant's Farm. Aryn fed the goats and camels and got bitten by a Clydesdale...but it didn't break the skin. She was sorta sad when she didn't get chosen to be a helper for the Bird Show. Rickey III is sure getting grown-up! tall and handsome! I had chocolate mint ice cream for lunch at the farm, and then we went for dessert (butterfinger blizzard) at Dairy Queen...that's my choice for an ideal meal! prayers and love from mrs pam - Sunday, August 3, 2008 4:35 PM CDT This is the second half of the hymn "Abide with Me." The words are so comforting. Know that I'm still here praying! 5. Thou on my head in every youth didst smile, And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee. On to the close, O Lord, abide with me. 6. I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the Tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me! 7. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still if Thou abide with me. 8. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies. Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

This one is long so I'm only doing the first half but oh it's special. Continuing to pray so very hard! 1. Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me! 2. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see. O Thou, who changest not, abide with me! 3. Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free. Come not to sojourn, but abide with me. 4. Come not in terror, as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea. Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me. Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Saturday, August 2, 2008 0:22 AM CDT Hi Devin I'd never hear of geocaching either, I looked it up and it sounds great fun, we did something similar at Christmas only without the GPS thingy, just a map and clues. When Trudi and Lesley were kids they loved doing wayfaring and now the grand kids love that too although the weather isn't always that great so we don't get to do it too often. We've had torrential downpours the last few days, I got caught out in one and got absolutely drenched. Oh I am jealous, wish we were all in St Louis, wouldn't that have been a great reunion? Hope you all have a great weekend. Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Friday, August 1, 2008 6:22 PM CDT hi there Devin I don't know how geocaching works either. Actually, I have NO idea what it is. The closest word I know is geode. So, clue us in, please. Sheila and Aryn just stopped by to get a blanket for their picnic tomorrow. I opted out of going to the Zoo tomorrow because I've got a Pen Pal outing on Tuesday, and I figured it would wear me out for the Muny tomorrow night. But, I did give them my Zoo card which should make every thing free...IF there is anything left on it because I sent Pen Pal Abby my other card about a month ago, and she never got. Sure hope it was somehow lost in the mail, and not stolen. I had a really nice "reunion" today with my voice teacher, a former choir member and a former organisit/choir director. All four of us go back knowing each other 20 to 40 years. toodles - Friday, August 1, 2008 5:49 PM CDT I've never understood how that geocaching works...glad Devin's having fun with it, though.

It actually came last week, but I didn't get the chance to write, we had visitors from Canada, then we were off the next morning to the caravan. Callum and Ruari were first to open theirs, Kayla opened hers when she came up to see the visitors, and Kyle did his later on that day, it was hard trying to get us all at the same time, LOL. Trudi and Lesley liked their tops as did the men, I loved my 'bless this house' wind chime, I hung it in the hall and everyone notices as soon as they come in, thanks too for all the scrapbooking stuff and the cross, it was a great package, THANK YOU Did Kara start school today? Summer finally arrived here, and we've had four or five really nice warm sunny days, although the forecast is for rain tomorrow.

Wal-Mart just has the school glue for 22¢, and we like the regular. some places it is $1.49 a bottle, so I think we did okay. We bought 16 bottles. toodleloo - Monday, July 28, 2008 3:45 PM CDT Lots going on there! Hope you get some answers! Praying!

Saw Miss Saigon last night. The Muny might be the only theatre to have a real helicopter fly over. pretty exciting. but, I forgot that it was an operetta, so all the dialogue is sorts sung, and not too easy to understand. I probably look silly sitting so close to the stage with my binoculars... but that lets me try to lip-read. toodles xxoo mrs pam - Sunday, July 27, 2008 9:38 AM CDT There is hope in the Lord! Praying right now! Psalms 16:7-9 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Sunday, July 27, 2008 0:11 AM CDT Oh Alisa, I can just feel the frustration and irony of it all! I too can relate to the seemingly senseless purpose of all of the hoops they demand you jump over and the feeling of deafening silence when it comes their turn to give their opinion on what all these tests mean. It sounds all too familiar, sometimes it leaves you to wonder whats it all for? Yes, you are right, seems as if the bill always gets there before the lab results do! No need to wonder though why that is! lol I do hope you get the answers you need soon. Sounds like everyone had a great time with your Mom, I'm so glad you had the opportunity to spend that time together and the fall will be here before we know it! Can you believe how fast the summer is flying by? We are thinking of you!!!

Am taking Margie to Sam's and Wal-Mart, and I know she'l wear me out, even if I sit and read. Miss Saigon tonight. wonder what the odds are on my staying awake.... toodles - Saturday, July 26, 2008 10:29 AM CDT Trust the Lord and His Will. Know that I'm praying! Psalms 5:11-12 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Sorry you could not go to OK. The price of airline tickets is crazy! We are not in the majority around here either so we just consider it a free day off work! I can't believe it is almost August...

We were going to go last summer, and never did. and now, we might be rained out. but, we'll probably head that direction anyway. Yesterday Mark Guthrie was supposed to cut my grass. Got home, and the grass was not cut, but the $ was missing. thought maybe the lawn mower wouldn't start or it began to rain. called mrs g. and she said no, mark had NOT been over to my house. that nervoused me, thinking that a burglar had been visiting. I asked again. no. talked more. asked again...are you SURE? she said she would go see if Mark was still sleeping. Well, he had been to my house. I was so happy that I never did really find out why he hadn't cut the grass, but maybe it was too wet. prayers and love from mrs pam - Friday, July 25, 2008 6:20 AM CDT The Lord will be with you always! I'll be here praying! Psalms 23:4-6 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Guess we had some really big winds during the storm the other night. My neighbors have a HUGE dead tree in their yard. I was calculating today to see if it could hit my house if it fell over....and it could, maybe. I would think that they would be worried about their house, too. Today I am playing bridge with my Thursday Group. I think this is actually the first or maybe 2nd time we have played in 2008. prayers and love from mrs pam - Thursday, July 24, 2008 8:34 AM CDT Sorry you're for all the "fun" tomorrow...thanks for the update!

I was reading that you might have celiac? well, just to let you know that a friend of ours a man who is in his 40's now but who also had non Hodgkin's lymphoma although he was in his 20's then, has celiac, he copes very well now as there are quite a few gluten free items now, the only thing is he has to eat special bread. Oma,Bic,Kenny and me are off to the caravan tomorrow, don't know when we'll be back but always thinking of you.

I think my 'bad' tooth is fine; I hope he thinks so, too! Then heading to Good Shepherd to see what they want me to do to decorate the Bulletin Boards. If it is my choice, then that's good. But, it isn't always so easy (or fun) to be creative with someone else's idea. Bragging here: did you know that I won the Diocese of Missouri Award 2 times for my boards? Of course, that was a few brain cells ago. toodles - Tuesday, July 22, 2008 9:20 AM CDT hey ross family:) long time no hear...hope that means you're soooo busy enjoying the summer. how'd the tests turn out? summer is going by so fast. we went to branson saturday to the titanic...it was pretty cool. we passed by ride the ducks and i thought of when you guys, mrs. pam and me & the kids went. that was a fun visit (except for aryn's diving adventure in the shallow end). talk to you soon sheila sheila bohannon - Tuesday, July 22, 2008 9:07 AM CDT Keep your eyes on the Lord!

Yesterday was Christian Day at the Ball Park, and Claudia, one of our Pen Pals, was honored. The Cardinal Ushers did MANY things for her brother Aven, including making $8000 on a raffle which the family used to take him to Sky Walker Ranch. Claudia was one of nine children chosen to stand on the field with the Players for the Nat'l Anthem and God Bless America. She was with Yadi Molina, and there is the CUTEST picture on Aven's caringbridge page of Claudia and Yadi and the Umps. She also got Tony LaRussa (manager) and Yadi to sign her baseball that had a the stitching in a heart shape. It was Aven's Valentine present last year. Next month I am taking Claudia and her friends to the Zoo for a Tour with Steven. prayers and love from mrs pam - Sunday, July 20, 2008 5:35 PM CDT Hey Guys...hope this finds each of the Ross family members doing well and enjoying your summer.

Junior left a message a couple of days ago asking me if I could sell her ticket. Somehow, I thought Miss Manners might frown if I invited some to go w/ me and then to pay for her ticket.

I've never seen a bird lying down. I took two pictures thru the patio doors. Then he got up and flew to a little table, and stood next to a pot of flowers. took 2 more photos. I think he was one of the 4 babies that I saw the other day..... although he is still quite large....and the really big one that visits my yard must be Mama. xxoo mrs pam - Thursday, July 17, 2008 7:53 AM CDT These words always amaze me. Chronologically they're some of the first words of Scripture ever written. Praying that they offer you comfort and hope. Job 19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Thursday, July 17, 2008 0:32 AM CDT Hi there Devin know what Marge and I did yesterday morning and this morning? sewed about 180 hearts for Nicaragua. Saturday night Marge got an e-mail from the Carol the Lady in Charge of Jumpers asking for more help. The hearts were cut out, would we sew them? Marge said yes, but to call her so we would know where to get them. did she call? no. she delivered them to Good Shepherd on Sunday morning, but she didn't tell us. Well, when I went down to sit in the 2nd pew for the sermon, a reader came down and got there first, and John was already talking, so I didn't want to ask the guy to move over. So, since I can hear nothing from the choir loft, I left. I guess John brought the hearts over to my house and left them on the porch. did I know that? no. found them Tuesday morning. Professor Pam is a big hit. Guess they love my spikey hair! tomorrow I'm leaving early to have lunch with the Women's Club....am going as the Professor. prayers and love from mrs pam - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 5:26 PM CDT So sorry about Tyler...

And he asked me if I knew that I had a little skit to do each morning. well, NO, I didn't. He ran back in and got me the script. Poor old Professor is rather dumb, and startles easily. (Does this sound too life-like to you?) I will have my lines on a clip board, so I don't have to nervous over not remembering what to say...... Sweet Abby Ostlie (the 4 year old whom Heather Tidd took pictures of last year), who is here for a heart transplant, was told yesterday that there was a new heart for her. Both parents and one grandma were able to be here. BUT, the new heart was damaged. (Way Beyond a Dissapointment!!) She has been waiting 17 months for a heart... apparently her MN hospital didn't really do all that they were supposed to do. sound familiar? ---- from the Professor - Monday, July 14, 2008 7:59 AM CDT Look to the Father in time of need. Lifting up prayers right now! Galatians 4:4-7 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Joanne and Gracie Sumner, WA - Friday, July 11, 2008 5:59 PM CDT hi there Devin sure am holding good thoughts for you today! Sherlock Holmes here.... you can't fool this old lady. It took only TWO weeks for me to discover that my dogwood tree is missing from the back garden. It was there for about 20 years! And it was a nice pink one, my favorite kind, too! Mrs. Guthrie loves to shop, but guess who did most of the buying! I got two more little bushes and one fern, two triple planters, and some impatients. I am REALLY finished planting for the year. (I think.) I also bought a new microwave. That and my wee griddle are the only ways I cook at home since my oven is broken. and the stove is covered with junk. Today I'm taking Margie to a Greek church that has a GREAT buffet every Friday. Since I can't go during the school year, I sorta forget about it. Margie has never been, so she is looking forward to it. And I know there will be LOTS of soft food. I had great food yesterday: pancakes, ice cream sundae, and baked potato. How's that for a well-balanced diet. Alisa, you got some super b-day presents. Devin, that is a really good looking Uncle Sam. Somebody has extraordinary good taste, don't you think? prayers and love from mrs pam - Friday, July 11, 2008 9:27 AM CDT Wow! Actual MOM pics on here! I LOVE the fountain! Flowers are purdy, too!

I get so nervous that I can't remember anything the doctor said... I just heard that I might need a root canal (ouch) or crown (ugh) or have the tooth pulled (bigger ouch, I imagine). so, I have to go back in two weeks. Meanwhile I take 2 advils every six hours. but, I don't know if he said for one week or 2. (pretty dumb, huh?) If it gets bad, he will prescribe an antibiotic. you know, I usually take my stuffed hippo so I have something to hug. well, I was hugging my purse, and the technician, whom I didn't recognize, asked if I wanted her to put it on the shelf. when I told her I usually bring an animal, she said, "oh, yes, I remember." Should I be embarassed? yippee, mrs. g. just called... and we're going shopping. I didn't have any exciting things to do today. We'll also go to the library and pick up the books I selected for her for VBS. If there is time after the art project, she reads a book. She wanted books on the heart (don't remember what the project was) and lungs (kids will blow colored soap bubbles and make prints) and fingerprint art (kids will decorate their soap bubble papers for stationery. She's taking an easier route this year. One year she MADE 70 birdhouses... sawed the five pieces of wood for each one, and the children had to hammer them together. WOW! prayers and love from mrs pam - Thursday, July 10, 2008 9:07 AM CDT Stopping by to let you know I'm still here praying.

Callum is quite fearless. Kayla and Kyle on the other hand are so funny, Kyle is terrified of anything that is big which in his case is nearly everything. LOL Kayla hates loud noises and covers her ears when she thinks there is going to be a noise and covers her eyes if she doesn't like the look of someone or something, although they both rode on the Haunted house ride a few times, she was scared on the Nemo ride at first too but got used to it, our favourite ride was Buzz Light-year, we rode that about 4 times every day.

I'm thinking that this is a special #! Know what I'm doing today? SEWING MORE JUMPERS. I thought I was finished, and the secretary at GS church left fabric for six more jumpers. so I went to school last night, and made 2. mrs. g. is back from a week with her brothers, so she is meeting me at school this morning. we should have 90+ jumpers by Wednesday Pick Up day. I went to a Nursery yesterday to see about buying a couple of bushes. The ones on sale were $100+, and they "only" wanted 60% of the original price for the planting charge. I said "Thank you" and left. The plain dirt is looking mighty fine after all! I sure didn't realize that bushes were so expensive. I wonder if 'my boys' could dig up the pine tree that I have in the back yard (grass area) and re-plant it. I don't really like where it is anyway. that would solve two problems.

We sang this hymn in church this morning and I wanted to share it. Am still here praying! "My Hope is Built on Nothing Less" by Edward Mote, 1797-1874 1. My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 2. When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 3.

Had a good time last night. Victor shared a "talk" that he's been asked to give..... we sure learned facts about USA history and Holy Land history that sadly we didn't know, and sadly probably won't remember. prayers and love from mrs pam - Sunday, July 6, 2008 7:53 AM CDT Will the fireworks ever end? Still hearing them tonight! Praying for your family!

Victor and son Jamie are ex-members of my church, as are Patty and Snooks. Sure wish they'd come back! toodles - Saturday, July 5, 2008 9:03 AM CDT Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July.

Love you all----Grandma GG <gwenfromok@yahoo.com> Shawnee, OK - Friday, July 4, 2008 9:16 AM CDT Hi there Family well, the package got there fast.... however, the 4th thingy isn't that exciting.. but maybe will add a little festive touch to your party today. That was some "friend"....good grief! Glad you found a new exciting school for Devin! How about Kara? Was able to send a reply to Sheila from the library yesterday, so it must be my computer. Maybe Devin's friend could fix that, too!!! Heading to school to finish (I think) sewing jumpers with Marge. Tonight I'm going to a small bar-b-q with GS choir folks. I'm bringing a salad. Bought basic salad stuff yesterday, and it cost $20....whoa, I guess I didn't realize how much more groceries seem to be this year. HAPPY 4TH, FOLKS.... are you going to go crazy with the crackers? prayers and love from mrs pam - Friday, July 4, 2008 8:34 AM CDT I can't believe he'd even go on your computer let alone mess with it enough to delete things! And did the mom explain why she just left him when you hadn't invited him to spend the night and she didn't even know you?! Crazy! Call upon the Lord in every trouble! Know that I'm praying! Psalms 9:9-10 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

I know I need bushes for the swimming pool sized dirt area. If I can plant them sorta on an angle in the middle...it won't matter that the rest is bare since I won't be able to see it. That should probably be done professionally since I feel like superman when I dig a 3-6 inch hole! and I can't really depend on those cute boys who were supposed to come today, but I got a phone call that they couldn't because it might rain. ???? and, they'll come next week. okay, guys, you can tell that the B family and I will be missing you....so come on over and play! plan to go to the library and grocery store today...what a day for grocery shopping! wish I could buy salad fixings at Walgreen's. prayers and love from mrs pam - Thursday, July 3, 2008 11:03 AM CDT This whole psalm is so good for all who are overwhelmed. Continuing to pray! Psalms 102:1-2 ((A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD.)) Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Wednesday, July 2, 2008 0:56 AM CDT Hi there Devin mailed Mom's birthday package this morning. there was a little 4th of July something for you and Kara...I know it will get there after the 4th, but I didn't want to wait until next year. I bought it only in January, so did I not have enough time to get it in the mail? I had breakfast with little Abby and her mom this morning. Oh, she is soooo precious. Marge, Mrs. G. and I made her a little jumper with hearts and made the facing with a turquoise fabric (the only jumper with turquoise.) What is Abby's favorite color? you got it! And I didn't know it previously. She was even wearing a turquoise shirt this morning. The news team from MN is coming to St. Louis to do a story on Abby...they'll go to the hospital with her tomorrow. They are meeting a St.Louis newsman, too, so I imagine we will get to see the report. but, I don't know if they are going to make it a feature, and wait until she gets her new heart. I'm waitng by the phone for my friend Sudie to call because I have a present for her granddaughter who should be born on Thursday in NYC. Sudie said she would meet me at the Frame Store near me this afternoon. so, will your new neighbors be calling the police because of your firecrackers on the 4th? xxoo mrs pam - Tuesday, July 1, 2008 2:11 PM CDT Hey Devin, glad to hear that camp was great!

Makes me happy knowing that! Sheila, I beg to differ with you. Lynn and I ARE being patient by NOT bugging Alisa! :-) so, be sure to let me know when you will be here in August. okay? Then, I can bug you to see if you know anything!!! the repaired serger broke several needles today. at least it is has a 90 day warranty. (sp?) but, still frustrating. luckily Marge still has the one I borrowed from her in her car, and will bring it to school on Wedneday for me. xxoo mrs pam - Monday, June 30, 2008 9:11 PM CDT sounds like camp was great for both kids this year:) what fun!! maybe we'll see mrs. pam in august, we'll be there for the weekend. maybe you guys can meet up w/us there again? i've noticed lynn & mrs. pam haven't been patiently waiting to hear what your news is lately...i wonder why:) talk to you again soon! sheila sheila bohannon - Monday, June 30, 2008 3:38 PM CDT Devin, we are so happy to know camp was "such fun."

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Monday, June 30, 2008 0:28 AM CDT Hi there Devin well...yesterday when I checked Abby's page, Mom had written to try a "1" in front of her phone #. So, I called, and they were at the Sleeping Beauty Ballet, and it was during intermission, so I said I would call again tomorrow. WELL, this morning at Mt. Zion, choir member Tara comes up to me, and says "Small World...I was sitting next to Heather when she got your phone call." Heather had said that "that was a Preschool teacher that I met thru caringbridge"...and then Tara said "Is she Mrs. Pam?" so, Heather thinks I must be famous! ha! anyway, just talked to her today, and we are planning a get-together for Tuesday morning...the Zoo, weather permitting. hope to hear good news about camp hobe... prayers and love from mrs pam - Sunday, June 29, 2008 1:05 PM CDT Supposed to hit 90 tomorrow.

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Saturday, June 28, 2008 10:38 PM CDT Hi Devin. How was camp, was it good, and did you make any new friends? What's the plan for the rest of the holidays? I guess you'll be swimming a lot with the temperature being so hot. We've been getting a lot of rain again but not that cold wintry type it's been quite warm, (well warm for us that is) around 64 degrees so it's warmish rain. We're hoping we get better weather in France this year, last year wasn't that good. Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Saturday, June 28, 2008 5:00 PM CDT Hi guys, Sorry it's taken me SO long to get back to you. I'd forgotten how hectic it is to have all three kids home all day. =) We are going to be in Boise soon. We're leaving Portland on Wednesday (the 2nd) and will be there until about the 8th. Then I think we're heading to Reno for about a week-ish...and then we'll hit Boise on the way back through again (around the 15th or so?). Hope to be able to catch you one of those times. =) If not i'm sure we'll be out there again before the summer is over. =) Love to you all! Angela and Family <FoxiFamily@yahoo.com> Portland, OR USA - Saturday, June 28, 2008 10:43 AM CDT Hi there Devin well, the boys are finished with the back yard. they said they would be here yesterday at 8, so I was hoping they could help me dig holes for the new plants. Did they come at 8? no. so I left around 11, and they came while I was not here. So, I'm trying to do the digging. But, it is not easy. However I did get some planted this morning, and I hope they will grow. I am happy with all the work they did. 19 trash bags/cans yesterday, and that many more waiting for next week's pick up. We have a Pen Pal living in St. Louis now. Abby from MN (Heather Tidd took her photos last year, and that's how I found her.) She's waiting to get a new heart. I sent her a Zoo card, and it did not get there. ugh. Mom's phone is busy every time I call. :-) so, we have not connected yet. but, I sure hope we can get together this coming week. prayers and love from mrs pam - Saturday, June 28, 2008 9:53 AM CDT Praying!

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Friday, June 27, 2008 0:36 AM CDT Hi there Family I just wrote you a three paragrah message, \and then when I tried to go back to fix a typo, the whole thing vanished!!!!!!!..... UGH... will report back tomorrow mrs pam - Thursday, June 26, 2008 6:15 PM CDT Hi there Family Today was the Legacy Luncheon at the Zoo. I took Mrs. G. We sat at the table with Jeffrey B. (the Zoo's director) and our friend Jeff. I enjoyed talking to both Jeffs. The theme was Hats Off to the Zoo or maybe to the Heritage folks... and we were supposed to wear hats. I won most creative at our table...it was my Easter Bonnet which was actually a door hanging that I got at Big Lots. and I put a jeweled camel pin on it. Of course, we got to talk to Steven who was in charge of the luncheon along with Cynthia who is now a VP. They had a fashion show with Zoo folks modeling vintage hats. And we got to see Katie who still follows the Caringbridge sites...so that must be yours and Ryan's for sure. Then afterwards we talked to the Insect Keeper because he was looking at a bunch of bees that were pollinating the hydrangea bushes. It is NATIONAL POLLINATION WEEK. He told us that there are 400 species of bees in Missouri. Doesn't that seem unbelievable. And then he tried to tell us some of the differences in the way the bees look. Then Diane (I don't know her job) was driving the cart to take us back to the Living World, and she made a "slight" detour to the other side of the Zoo to let us see the new baby giraffe that was born this week. The mom is Jessie and Steven said he thinks that you and the rest of the gang fed Jessie laast May, and that it gave her just enough added nutrition to have a sweet healthy baby. Usually Mother giraffes have their babies at night when they are alone...but Jessie delivered in the daytime with 400 Zoo visitors cheering her on. that would have been something. Two months ago our Tiger had FIVE cubs...really unusual. She's a first time Mom, and is doing a great job. But we won't get to see them until they are 3 months old. xxoo mrs pam - Thursday, June 26, 2008 6:02 PM CDT Devin: We hope your holiday weekend is full of fun & memmories.

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Wednesday, June 25, 2008 0:40 AM CDT Hi there Alisa well, that's a good question from Lynn...where was my message from yesterday? and what did I say? Happy to hear that Kara is okay. Does that mean she can go to drama/dance camp....or is that too much dance rather than drama? those cute boys sure work on their own time schedule. I called yesterday around 4 and talked to kyle and told him that I really needed the stuff picked up off the grass before it died. a few minutes later kyle and the twins showed up. they did more weeding, but only filled 4 trash bags. I had already filled all my trashcans. anyway, they are supposed to return today. I have already been to church and sewed two jumpers, and planted some hostas and impatiens. There is now a LOT of bare dirt. of course, the weeds will return no doubt, but maybe not the trees.Yesterday I got two flats of impatiens, 4 fern and 7 hostas...which look like there were 2 in each pot. Probably will plant mostly where I can see the garden from my computer chair. xxoo mrs pam - Tuesday, June 24, 2008 10:09 AM CDT Where's Mrs. Pam today? Still praying hard at this end!

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

She took LOTS of blood and checked my vitals, weight, height, and measurements. All this is sent back to Duke to use in the study. Hope it helps someone along the way. How is Ms Kara's broken foot doing??? Seems like there was a song on Hee Haw (anyone remember that??) that said "If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all". Sometimes I feel like that should be the theme song at your house. Devin---have a wonderful time at camp!! Hope you are feeling strong and ready to have lots of fun camp experiences.

I have 2 absolutely adorable boys working (FINALLY) in my back yard. Jack came to the front door this morning, and I told him that I would get my hearing aids and meet him in the back yard. "Kyle" was already working... but it was not Kyle...I did a real double take looking from one boy to another, and Jack said "twins!" So I have Daniel instead of Kyle. They are really doing a good job. so, I feel comfortable leaving, and going to Bunco with the women's club. Tonight is the first Muny...yippee! the show is The Producers.

I do plan on going back to bed though. I was having loads of trouble visiting folks last night, so I just shut the computer down. but, I wanted to check on little Abby (found her when Heather Tidd took family photos) because she is in St. Louis now waiting for a heart transplant. I'm hoping that once they get settled in an apartment that we can meet up. Maybe a trip to the Zoo.

Camp will be fun - hopefully the weather will be good. All kids need an opportunity to experience summer camp - think you will meet up with kids you met last year? We will help put closure to Heidi's high school graduation this weekend with her reception at home including both family and friends. It has been a great end of high school for her - Told Heidi that a week after her mother's high school graduation - I went into her bedroom and there she was, packing for college.

Anita <tdavid276@aol.com> SeaTac, Wa USA - Friday, June 20, 2008 0:32 AM CDT hi there Devin golly! that sure must have been scary for the Bohannons! well, Sara said the water was most likely in the "real" house, and that it was supposed to be more than the 1993 flood. She said she is too old to clean up the mess, and would like to just collect the insurance money and sell. It is such a neat house...maybe they could just collect the insurance and hire somebody to do the clean up. of course, I guess everything except china would have to be thrown away and replaced. The Fourth of July Fair St. Louis which is on the Arch grounds will be moved west this year... of course, it might still be on the newly flooded riverfront. when I just walked into my computer room, there was a dumb squirrel IN my windowbox munching on the flowers. I imagine he will return again. UGH! prayers and love from mrs pam - Thursday, June 19, 2008 7:41 PM CDT what a day!! we were getting ready to leave to take the van to the body shop & pick up a rental when rickey calls to tell me the tornado sirens were going off at his work..minutes later it starts storming here & sirens started going off. turned on the tv to see we were under tornado & severe storm warning & we were directly in the path! luckily we weren't hit again this time..phew! made it to the body shop right at closing & at car rental right at closing. i was looking out the back window & could see the wall clouds w/funnels going past a little to the west of us. kind of scary... anyways, glad it's moved on:) hope you guys are enjoying (at least stressing less) your summer. talk to you soon! sheila sheila bohannon - Thursday, June 19, 2008 7:04 PM CDT Hi Handsome You look great with the new cut, although you looked great with the old one too. Callum and Ruari got their hair cut yesterday, Callum got zig zags at the side of his, he's been desperate to get that done but his mammy said he'd have to wait until school was out, she gave in because it was the school disco tonight. Do you have a disco at school at the end of term? Guess you're ready for camp. Hope you have a wonderful time. Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Thursday, June 19, 2008 5:01 PM CDT Not like hearing about flooding heading your way, Mrs. Pam! And you need a different email addy...maybe gmail? Thanks for the update on Yadi! Hope all's well with the Ross family!!!!!!! Find comfort in the Word! Praying! Joshua 1:8-9: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Thursday, June 19, 2008 0:58 AM CDT hi there Devin busy day today.. heading to church to sew then bridge then choir practice. Clarkesville is about an hour north of st. louis on the Mississippi River which is trying to flood the town. Sara & Dale ( where I play bridge today) have a weekend home there, and it has been flooded several times. The house is up a hill from the river, and the living area is up on stilts, and I think maybe the water got up there before, but the basement for sure gets flooded. Other people with homes on their road are year-round folks, so you know that is not fun. The Mayor of Clarkesville is a friend of mine. She used to be the music teacher for Ladue High School. So, she's been on the news asking for help with sandbagging. sure makes it more personal when you know folks affected by the floods. yahoo e-mailing still not accepting any address that I enter. Yadi was at the game last night, so it was good to see him sitting and turning his head. prayers and love from mrs pam - Wednesday, June 18, 2008 8:21 AM CDT Hello Devin !!! I haven't signed in for a long time but I just had to tell you that you are so handsome with your hair long or short. you may have heard that I lost my hair too. It has taken 8 months since my last chemo for my hair to get 2 1/2 inches long. I mouse it, or jel it and ruffle it and everyone likes it. Now I never would have cut it this short but they almost have me convinced to keep this short. All my girls give me a thumbs up. Of course they were shocked to see me the first time I did it. I have a feeling you can wear it anyway you want and the girls will love it so make yourself happy. Have the best time at camp. Love to all the Ross's and Grandma Gwen.

The Oakley salesman always asks how you are doing every time he comes in. He has a couple of boys of his own---and he thinks you are a shining example of what "Livestrong" really stands for!! Love you all---GG Gwen Woods <gwenfromok@yahoo.com> Shawnee, OK - Tuesday, June 17, 2008 7:12 PM CDT hi there Devin I think you look great! But, then I was thinking how good you looked in your "before" picture, too. would think the shorter hair would be lots more comfortable in the summer! prayers and love from mrs pam - Tuesday, June 17, 2008 6:49 PM CDT hey ross family... looks like you guys had a great weekend! we had a great one too! aryn & rickey helped me make brunch for their dad and we spent the day doing whatever he wanted..our father's day is always all about dad too! we don't do the commercial aspect of buying gifts, we just let him decide our agenda for the day:) we spent almost all day out in the pool and had a great time:) it stormed here on friday so we weren't able to do our moonlight swim for our anniversary, but we still had a great time! kara looks excited on that top bunk...devin, i like the new do...i just got home from having my hair chopped off too! it was below my shoulder blades and now doesn't touch the top of my shoulders...feels much better for summer though. on our way home from branson i noticed a state park (but forgot the name) to look up and see if there is hiking or whatever there. wow, look at all the snow still on those mountains. i remember what a great time we had when we were there and took that hike & picnic. be careful at tennis...wouldn't want you to hurt yourself anymore:( wondering if mrs pam ever got to talk w/you on the phone.. love to all, sheila sheila bohannon - Tuesday, June 17, 2008 10:14 AM CDT Do I ever like your haircut. And yes, you do look like your dad - and that is a complement! Am hoping we can do some hiking when we come your way - I see snow in the pictures, so hopefully some of that will be melted by July. Aren't picnics fun? Glad your family "does" picnics - and knowing your mom, it IS a good lunch. A. Anita <tdagvid276@aol.com> SeaTac, Wa USA - Tuesday, June 17, 2008 9:26 AM CDT Kinda just DID sign the guestbook....glad you had such a good day yesterday! Devin, you look fantastic with your new haircut! Just PLEASE take it easy! Even tennis might be too much running around and strain...hope all goes well tomorrow! Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Tuesday, June 17, 2008 1:03 AM CDT Bad yahoo! Why won't it let you email me, Mrs. Pam! That's not nice! Thanks for the update! (Tried to get this discussion off here, Devin, but...) Stopping by to let you know I'm still here praying! Isaiah 43:1-3a But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour... Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Tuesday, June 17, 2008 0:52 AM CDT hi there LYNN my yahoo won't let me send you an e-mail, so I just copied it. (thanks, Devin) Fortunately, they are calling it a mild concussion. The article in the paper said that after he was hit, he raised his hand to the ump to show that he still had the ball. In fact, the photo showed him sprawled flat over homeplate with that ball clutched in his right hand. At first the Phillies mananger was trying to say that the runner never got tagged out. (but replay show that he was tagged) however, he never touched the base. so, maybe that could be a new strategy: just sprawl over the base so that the runner can't step on it. Yadi is really well respected an loved. He deserves a Gold Glove. so did you hear about the incident at home plate about three weeks ago? It was probably the only game I didn't get to see. Our pitcher threw a strike, but the ump called it a ball. Yadi turned and asked where the strike zone was, and all **#!* broke loose. ump and yadi yelling at each other, and yadi getting kicked out. so he took all of his gear off and left it on home plate. (I love that!) The poor bat boy didn't know when it was safe to go retrieve it. Yadi got a fine, but not a suspension. thank goodness. mrs pam - Monday, June 16, 2008 5:28 PM CDT Hi there Devin I thought Kara went to camp on the 23rd, but now I realize that it is you. so, is Kara in camp now? Mrs. G. and Marge and I had a three hour sewing session this morning...got several jumpers sewed, and several more cut out ready for me. still no boys, but got a phone call saying that one would come today...but I think maybe he is waiting for me to call and confirm. so I left a message saying that I would stay home tomorrow until they arrive. keeping my fingers crossed. bought you something for Halloween today although it isn't really for Halloween, so if I forget about it, maybe I'll find it for Christmas. prayers and love from mrs pam - Monday, June 16, 2008 5:03 PM CDT I'm sorry I missed signing in last night! Sometimes I'm in a hurry and I miss a folder in my bookmarks...Continuing to pray! Psalms 9:9-10 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

Love, Mary and the girls www.caringbridge.org/fl/caitlin Mary Templeton <mary.templeton@gmail.com> Citrus Springs, FL - Monday, June 16, 2008 3:50 AM CDT hi there Devin do you have Camp Hobe this week? I just talked to Mrs. G. She and Hudson went up to Chicago on Friday for the weekend to see Kate's play. She's the stage manager, and the scenery guy didn't finish, so the Guthries ended up painting the set. kate must have been a wreck before her parents came to her rescue. Lynn: Cincinatti Reds ( I think..but, it might have been the Phillies.) did you see that Yadi Molina got knocked down and had to be taken out in a neck brace on a stretcher. He was receiving a throw from first base, had his back to the runner, who knocked him over, and maybe jerked his neck, and he hit his head hard on the ground. but, Yadi held on to the ball, and the guy was out. Very scarey. sure am praying that it isn't as serious as it looks. Yadi and Pujols are two of my favorites, and now both will be on the DL toodles - Sunday, June 15, 2008 8:12 PM CDT Mrs. Pam...who were the Cardinals playing when they lost 20-2? My Mariners lose all the time but it's usually by 1 run...don't know which is worse! My heart is so heavy tonight for all who are suffering. Praying! 1 Peter 1:6-9 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

So you're not alone...by any stretch.........but oh how it breaks my heart that your family is dealing with this!!!!!!!!! Know that I'm praying so at this end! Revelation 7:16-17 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

Psalms 23:1-6 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

But, I told her it didn't really matter how much it cost because I need it fixed, and I really don't want to buy a new one since I just use it for school projects. so, I went to Marge's and picked up her old serger which is being held together with tape...but it WORKS. so, that's good. prayers and love from mrs pam - Tuesday, June 10, 2008 5:21 PM CDT Still praying in Seattle!

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

They are going to take care of my garden!!!!!! And, the price is RIGHT... better than right! of course, I might not be saying that when I found out how long it takes.

I miss talking to you Alisa, so much. We did go to the doctor yesterday with Stephie, she cannot use her left arm without severe pain and it is around the left bicep and shoulder area. He did say that it was rare to have arthritis in that area of the body, but since she is also having vibrating sensations in her fingers too (without pain) he thought it best that she have an x-ray, so sent us to the place next door and told us to bring the films back immediately. So we did that and the technician circled something in her bicep area on them, but unfortunately we don't have the radiology report until today or tomorrow and the pediatrician can't really tell, thinks maybe inflammation, especially because the arm felt hot to him. Sooooooooo he was calling to rheumatology yesterday about it, and today we are scheduled to go see them anyway. Sheesh if it is not one thing it is another, I have no clue what is happening anymore, I don't think I even remember what day it is since they seem to be running into one another lately. Anyway, I am stressed to the max, but wanted you to know I have not forgotten about you! I hope that Devin and Kara are feeling ok, and poor Dev is on the mend. He never seems to be able to catch a break either, or is that he gets too many breaks? lol Don't mind my dumb humor! You're in my prayers and I will be in touch soon. Maybe you will have some good news soon!!! Love, Mary and the Girls Mary Templeton <mary.templeton@gmail.com> Citrus Springs, FL - Wednesday, May 14, 2008 5:49 AM CDT So now you disappear?!

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Wednesday, May 7, 2008 1:00 AM CDT hi there Devin I'm exhausted... six hours ago I met Mrs. G. at school to finish up the Pen Pals May Mailings...then I headed to the post office. and was told that each package would cost $1.30. That would be great because last week I was told $1.47. HOWEVER, I ALREADY HAD STAMPS ON 50+ ENVELOPES. I saw NO reason for the post office to make a profit. so I decided to peel stamps off. That was not so easy as peeled stamps like to roll up .... so then I came home and glued the unused and unrolled-up stamps on extra envelopes. Just finished, but still have to mail about 20 more envelopes. by the way, I think we already gave Mom what the other Moms are getting, so I got her something else, :-) toodles - Tuesday, May 6, 2008 3:01 PM CDT Hi, Thinking of you :-) Take care, Sherri www.caringbridge.org/oh/kara sherri <ketch16@yahoo.com> ohio - Tuesday, May 6, 2008 12:33 AM CDT I think I come by a couple of times a day to see if you have shared any news.

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Friday, May 2, 2008 0:59 AM CDT hi there Devin just got back from the Zoo. The Zoo did it's own catering. This was all in the River's Edge... past the hippos (who were NOT out). a rather long walk. They had a small salad bar. then off to another area for a Mashed Potato Bar. I thought that was super. 2 or 3 real Bars. some appetizers being passed. BUT, no desserts!!!! We saw the 26 life-sized dinosaurs. A fantastic exhibit for people who like dinosaurs. however, I prefer to see live animals at the Zoo. Saw Steven and Jeff...so that made everything worthwhile. oh, I forgot to say that we got to touch a real dinosaur bone that was found in North Dakota. and, a nice security guard gave us a cart ride all the way back to our cars. that was greatly appreciated. so, guess whatever you're hoping for hasn't happened yet. prayers and love from mrs pam - Thursday, May 1, 2008 8:44 PM CDT HAPPY MAY!!! i just knew there would be news! hmmmm... sheila bohannon - Thursday, May 1, 2008 7:07 PM CDT seriously....waiting is not fun! :) The Tidds <heather@bumblebphoto.com> - Thursday, May 1, 2008 0:43 AM CDT This is not how it's supposed to work...I come back and find out what's going on!!!!!!!!!!

The Strawberry Festival is at my church today. There was not a sign-up for times to work, but they want workers...????? I'll head over around lunch time for the barbeque, and a a strawberry shortcake minus the strawberries. Tonight is Marge's boss' fancy 50th birthday party. I think it is so nice that they always include me in their big parties. had to get a new outfit, and I found a great black skirt, and a new sequined top and they were both on sale plus I had an additional % off (Stein Mart), so I am pleased with that purchase. I didn't go to the Gardens yesterday because it got rainy. did get a haircut and pedicure with an hour and a half nap sitting in the massage chair. so, we won't hear anything until next week. guess I won't try to talk to Mom before you know anything. prayers and love from mrs pam - Saturday, April 26, 2008 8:47 AM CDT So just how long ARE you going to keep everyone hanging?!

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Thursday, April 24, 2008 0:35 AM CDT hi there Devin well, what day do you consider the end of the week? how about the school week? I'm actually off til Monday. Mrs. G.'s mother is in the hospital in a coma. So, it is good that she won't have to be doing school stuff. so, do we get to guess? Do you need a passport? I just opened the Sandwich cookbook, and now I'm getting hungry. have to hurry though because the Bishop is having confirmation at my church tonight. Wonder if he'll give the same sermon as he did on Sunday. toodles - Wednesday, April 23, 2008 6:09 PM CDT mmmmmmmm I'm anxiously waiting to hear the good news. Praying that everything will work out the way you want it to. We went to the theatre last night to watch a mock up of the Eurovision Song Contest. We took Callum and Ruari and we didn't get home until 10.30pm. We had a great time, we got a badge of a country when we arrived and we bought the flag of that country, I got Iceland, Trudi got Italy, Ruari-Finland and Callum got Ireland. We had to shout and cheer when our country appeared and after all 10 countries had sung we had to use our mobile phones to text our vote. The boys didn't really understand that it was a farce, they thought it was the real thing, and that the songs just weren't very good, although the singers were all great. I'm surprised they got up OK for school this morning, mind you, we were nearly late going over as we were playing with the webkinz and I just happened to look at the clock, we had two minutes to get over there, all the other parents were coming out of the gate as we were running in, good job I didn't have Kayla and Kyle or we'd never have made it. I won't have them tomorrow either, Lesley's work is on strike.

As for the Keppra...ugh...Ashlei's neurologist put her on this for her migraines-apparently it has other uses...this drug made her feel so out of it! She could not follow what her professors were saying in class!! She took herself off of it. I wouldn't be surprised if this was causing your dad issues. So sorry Randy has been so darn sick! Hope he was able to rest over the weekend..is he taking any antibiotics? Does Dev take vitamins? Okay enough questions..hope you and Kara are well too. Tell Dev Dave and I say HI!!!!!

It was a good fundraiser, and I knew about 20 folks, so that was nice. It was a very elegant dinner. One couple absorbs the cost of the evening, so all $$ goes directly to the Nicaragua Projects. pretty impressive since there were over 300 folks there. A group of us were the high bidders for another Zoo Tour. Sure hope it is better than the one last year. I want "Behind the Scenes" (like we did with the penguins and giraffes). Last year we just saw what anybody could see. Maybe we'll go to the Zoo Hospital. They had a couple of pinatas for decorations, and one was an adorble monkey.... and the chairman said I could have it for Preschool. well, that's about all I know. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Saturday, April 12, 2008 10:08 AM CDT hey ross family:) the kids are at school (only one more saturday school after today). guess what?? we woke up to snow falling. it slowed down by the time we drove to school. nothing stuck! thank goodness! so much for the forecast of several 'dry' days. we're back down to some cold weather...only going to get to 40 today:( it was kind of funny watching our neighbor yesterday all bundled up in coat, hat & gloves to mow his lawn, crazy weather! yay...finally got your stuff mailed yesterday at the post office (forgot to take to fedex when i went into town). hope everyone there is healthy. have you guys met up w/rosi & kenny yet? sheil sheila bohannon - Saturday, April 12, 2008 9:13 AM CDT Know that I'm praying!

I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers, Dorine McNary Williston, ND - Thursday, April 3, 2008 1:54 PM CDT wow!!! good news:) i'm praying the positive that the thyroid problems just don't surface, you definately do not need any more negative health issues. sorry to hear that t'shirt is doing so badly:( i know it's hard worrying about those that are far away. rotten luck that you guys are still having all your sickness. we are all finally in good health this week, and fully recovered from the flu. just wish the cold rainy days would end. rickey had a great birthday! he says he feels so old...imagine how old that made me feel *lol*. we just got home from the orthodontist, and they've taken the chain that was pulling his eyetooth down off & put a wire through the bracket. we now have an unofficial day for the braces to come off, next march! (unless a bracket comes off or his progress gets off track) talk to you soon, sheila sheila bohannon - Thursday, April 3, 2008 1:34 PM CDT I am so happy to hear that Devin remains in Remission, YES!!!! For some reason it seems like Thyroid disorders are common with autoimmune disorders and because Devin has Crohns, the family history of thyroid disease and had the Chemo I can understand why he would need to be tested so much!!! Stephanie continues to be monitored too because my mom and her mom both had Hashimotos Hypo-thyroid disease and my mom's aunt had Graves Hyperthyroid disease and they told us given that family history and with autoimmune diseases like Lupus her odds of having a thyroid disorder increases. I am very sorry that your Dad is doing so poorly, and I will keep him in my prayers, I know it has got to be tough especially being so far away. We also hope that Randy feels better soon, he sounds like he is feeling absolutely miserable!!! All of you remain in our prayers and we are thinking of you!!!! I tried calling you last night to check on everyone but I think you may have been out or busy it would seem with everything going on in your lives it is quite understandable! I have missed talking to you though. We are leaving early Saturday morning to take the girls to Disney World and then stay overnight in Orlando and come home sometime on Sunday, so that should be fun and interesting, they're all so excited! Call me if you get a chance Alisa!!!

I've never seen a swan out of water before...not so graceful on land. I guess that is an indication of how much rain we've had. Wonder if a black swan has the same effect as a black cat....... prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Thursday, April 3, 2008 8:31 AM CDT Stopping by to say "hi!" and see if you had any results from yesterday.

Love, Sherri www.caringbridge.org/oh/kara sherri <ketch16@yahoo.com> ohio - Tuesday, April 1, 2008 11:52 AM CDT Hi there Devin holding very good thoughts for you today! Yesterday after school I went to the post office to mail one item. Proabably had a 10 minute wait.. and it started to RAIN... really RAIN. by the time I got home, the water had already soaked thru all my towels etc. in the basement, and the water had hit the Pen Pals Room Rug. kept dragging stuff around to the washer for rinse and spin and then the dryer. Then the washer got excited and stopped... but finally started although it was three feet away from its original spot. We're talking about four hours of UNBELIEVABLE rain. I figured I just couldn't keep up with it. Kept praying that the rain would stop. and Bingo..it finally did all at once. thank goodness. (not that I'm taking any prayer-credit) So I'm on my third load of wash/dry this morning. I haven't gotten the newspaper, but I know that the poor folks who had their homes flooded are reflooded. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Tuesday, April 1, 2008 9:03 AM CDT looks like you guys had some fun;) hope your ear is better now alisa. sorry about your dad. talk to you soon. i still need to get myself to the post office...this is the latest i think i've ever been:( sheila sheila bohannon - Tuesday, April 1, 2008 8:30 AM CDT So glad you got away!

Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Tuesday, March 25, 2008 9:05 PM CDT hi there Devin did you take your pox to school today for those make-up tests? I finally figured out how to double side on the new copier at church, so I put the Highland Games Booklets together. That wasn't as easy as it looks because I was trying to have each child with a different schedule, and I cut off some of the words with the paper cutter, and didn't have enough of some games, etc etc. but, I finally completed the task with four or five trips to the office. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Tuesday, March 25, 2008 5:21 PM CDT Stopping by to let you know I'm still here praying!

You done getting any more spots?! Hope you feel better SOON! Devin, how are you doing? You still getting spots?! This hymn has alwas been very special to me. Always makes me cry, too. Praying right now! "I Know that My Redeemer Lives" by Samuel Medley, 1738-1799 1. I know that my Redeemer lives; What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, He lives, who once was dead; He lives, my ever-living Head. 2. He lives triumphant from the grave, He lives eternally to save, He lives all-glorious in the sky, He lives exalted there on high. 3. He lives to bless me with His love, He lives to plead for me above. He lives my hungry soul to feed, He lives to help in time of need. 4. He lives to grant me rich supply, He lives to guide me with His eye, He lives to comfort me when faint, He lives to hear my soul's complaint. 5. He lives to silence all my fears, He lives to wipe away my tears He lives to calm my troubled heart, He lives all blessings to impart. 6. He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly Friend, He lives and loves me to the end; He lives, and while He lives, I'll sing; He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King. 7. He lives and grants me daily breath; He lives, and I shall conquer death: He lives my mansion to prepare; He Iives to bring me safely there. 8. He lives, all glory to His name! He lives, my Jesus, still the same. Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives, "I know that my Redeemer lives!"

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

I had a very nice surprise from Utah waiting on the porch for me. I opened it right away! Surprised? I didn't sit and look at the box for days. Really, really great assortment of goodies. THANK YOU!!! so far, 3/4ths of the popcorn, and two cookies are missing from the box. First cookie and 2nd chocolate treat for me since the beginning of Lent. I had a piece of chocolate pie last night.... went to a Fish Fry, and decided that since the Good Friday service was over, I could eat whatever my heart desired. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Saturday, March 22, 2008 11:59 AM CDT When I was thinking about today this hymn came to mind immediately so I wanted to share it. Know that I'm praying! 1. There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins, And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. 2. The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, Washed all my sins away. 3. Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more. 4. E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die. 5. When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing Thy power to save. The Lutheran Hymnal Hymn #157 Text: Zech. 13:1 Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Friday, March 21, 2008 9:08 PM CDT Hi there Devin Wow, that must have been VERY important homework that your grade couldn't have been decided without it. Good grief!!!! Oh, am I sorry, that you,too, have chicken pox. another Good Grief! My minister John was in a car accident on his way to church today, and his car was totaled. Someone turned in front of him. He said that thankfully no one was hurt. Didn't think this was the time to share Kara's whiplash experience weeks after the car accident. sure hope you aren't miserable, and that Kara is feeling okay. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Friday, March 21, 2008 4:47 PM CDT oh no! you poor kids, those itchy chicken pox are absolutely NO fun!! rickey had them right before it was time to vaccinate. he had them BAD!!! fortunately aryn hasn't. i remember them from when i was a kid. my mom taped my mittens around my hands to keep me from scratching. well, the kids oklahoma spring break trip was cut short. we are now home & the kids are in bed....with the flu!! was a very loooonnnggg trip home. i actually got pulled over for speeding between bathroom stops along the toll road. aryn called me crying wednesday night, and early thursday morning to come get her. i was just heading out the door when she called. rickey was complaining about oklahoma being so much warmer, maybe because his temp was 102.5. guess we can't plan a trip lately w/out someone getting sick. i felt so bad for them, they had been looking forward to spring break for a while...could have been worse though. the highway by our house is under water. looks like a lake all around it, and they have pumps out trying to move the water elsewhere. we definately DO NOT NEED anymore rain for a little while. sending happy anti-itchy thoughts;) sheila sheila bohannon - Friday, March 21, 2008 4:43 PM CDT So won't Devin still be contagious next week? The teacher doesn't care! My she sounds sympathetic! And I was happy the other day when gas was under $3.50! It was $3.49.9 but it was under $3.50! So how did I do that yesterday? Here's what you missed! This was the first verse I read during devotions this morning and just had to use it today. Continuing to pray! Psalms 57:1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. And now for today's! As we head into Good Friday, think of the Savior and what He did on this day. Praying! Romans 5:6-8 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Friday, March 21, 2008 0:53 AM CDT I feel so terrible for all of you! I'm so sorry, chicken pox are definitely no fun at all, I wonder how come Devin got them even after a vaccine? very strange indeed. Kristen had them when she was 19 months old, and I was 8 1/2 months pregnant with Stephanie, I remember worrying if she were born early that she would be exposed! Everything thankfully worked out fine and I had them as a child so was already immune! None of the other girls have ever caught them (knocking on wood) and hopefully won't. I'm thinking that you probably did have chicken pox Alisa!!! My heart is definitely going out to you right now!!! Hope you and Kara feel better soon Devin!!! Thinking of you!!! Love, Mary www.caringbridge.org/fl/caitlin Mary Templeton <mary.templeton@gmail.com> Citrus Springs, FL - Thursday, March 20, 2008 7:14 PM CDT hi there Devin whoops... Lynn's "v" didn't paste. Am taking Margie to get new hearing aids this morning. Will try to talk to Mom this afternoon. Tonight is our Living Last Supper, and I have to get to church a little after six. This is a new one for us: Choir sings about 6 things inbetween the disciples (our vestry foks) telling about themselves, foot washing, and communion. I think it will be a good tradition. just wish we had one more day to practice. BTW, I was born on Palm Sunday (2 months premature) ... and I always remember my mother saying that on Maundy Thursday, she was "down on her knees" praying that I would live. Can't say I ever remember seeing her down on her knees again.

However, nothing white yet. two weeks ago when we had a Snow Day... it never materialized. (the snow, that is; the day did) sure hope that's the case today. well, the sink is turning into a major project. yesterday, Jeff wanted to use the hose to open the drain. Hose was frozen. went to church and got my 3 extra hoses. he connected them in the basement. success. however, getting facet and other pipes off... needs more tools (which he has at home.) wonder if I have paper plates. it's going to be a few days before the dishwasher is working. at least I'm not "nervousing" anymore. oh oh... white stuff is starting to fall.

RICE was the culprit in the pipe under the sink. DON'T put rice in the garbage disposal. actually, Jeff said to run water and turn the disposal on before adding food. but.... the pipe going outside is clogged. so he has to come back today with a snake (I think that's what it is called). The good thing is that he got the drip to stop. I definitely don't like being a homeowner in my old age! my coping skills are sorta pitiful. dumb stomach-butterflies. ugh sure hope you have a TERRIFIC great week in school!!!

Hudson came and tried drain cleaner. water backed up into the dishwasher, and down the wall in the basement, and on the kitchen floor. SOOOO... Jeff is supposed to come in an hour or so ...he'll unclog the pipe and put in a new faucet. but, I wonder if any hardware store will be open after five or six. Panic attack brewing......ugh. no, I'm okay. but, I sure wish I lived in a little apartment right about now. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Sunday, March 2, 2008 5:19 PM CST Hi there Devin didn't sign in this morning because I went to a Pancake Breakfast.

Yesterday Margie had a coffee for about 15 friends from church. There is no parking on her street (can you imagine that?) so people double up on driving. About 30 minutes after the start of the party, Billie called to say that she had gone to Betty's house. no one home. so, she left her car on Betty's driveway, and decided to walk to Margie's. she got lost. it was cold. she went to a stranger's house who called Margie. 2 folks went and picked Billie up. 15 minutes later, Betty called to say she was sorry but she was still waiting for Billie to pick her up. When told that Billie had been at her house, and that the car was in her driveway, she said there is NO car in my driveway. 2 folks go pick up Betty and search the neighborhood for Billie's car which is in a driveway a block from Betty's house. GOOD GRIEF, I don't think a sit-com could come up with this story line. toodles - Thursday, February 14, 2008 9:50 AM CST Devin: We just stopped by to say hello & wish you a Happy Valentine's Day So did ya come home with "toys"??

Romans 8:15-18 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Still been praying but wanted to share such special verses that remind us all that much more importantly the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for each of us perfectly according to His Will. Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Revelation 21:1-4 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Friday, February 1, 2008 9:04 PM CST Hi there Devin Golly, I can't believe you forgot another Handbook Rule: The School-by-Noon-on-Spelling-Bee-Day. That was so thoughtful of your teacher to call to remind you. You did terrific. It's always tough when you get an unfamiliar word, and yet you seem to know all the words that the other kids get. So, we do have a Snow Day today. I don't think I will even attempt to shovel the driveway, and I know for SURE that I won't be shoveling the roof!!!! It is supposed to warm up by Monday, and I figure I can stay put until Sunday for church, and then hope I can get back up the driveway. Mrs. G. can always pick me up for school. Her birthday is Monday, and I went to the store Wednesday night to get her cake and ice cream for snack time. Am VERY glad I planned ahead. Will try to call Mom this morning. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Friday, February 1, 2008 6:43 AM CST Devin, you did great! Hope you're back to normal soon! As for the snow...watching the news and up in the mountains they're telling people when to shovel their roofs. So see? Could be worse! In case you want to know it's when the snow is deeper than 2 feet. Just in case.... Know that you're in my thoughts and prayers! Psalms 61:1-4 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

My "pantry" has one can of soup, one can of chili, and some cereal. Margie's 2nd "pantry" is her garage, which also has a refrigerator.

We played with some play dough instead, Kayla made playdough men. LOL We had to run over to school in that pouring rain. Wish we could have some of your lovely snow.

This afternnon I decided to go to the Art Museum after church 'cuz I sure don't feel like heading east on week days with no highway. Well, Clayton Road (where we had lunch the last day you were here) has a very loooooooong stretch where there are no left turns into subdivisions. Gosh, am I glad I don't live off of Clayton. The art museum didn't have any new exciting exhibit, so I just had a salad, and then headed to the History Museum....and I now have all my presents for Devin and Kara's birthdays. nothing like planning ahead. well, actually I have one other thing I want to get for Kara, but at least I know what it is. Devin, you are getting to the age where it's hard to know what you would like....so, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. When is Willie's birthday? I know he or Casey shared a birthday with GG and the other was Valentine's day. and when is Maddie's birthday? Hope you answer...so I don't have to scroll thru Journal History. have a great day off tomorrow!!!! prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Sunday, January 20, 2008 4:41 PM CST Hope you get a good renter soon!

I'm looking forward to just relaxing, 'cuz tonight is Mt. Z. bridge. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Saturday, January 19, 2008 9:34 AM CST This is a long section. Most of it is one sentence!

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.

Did they do special activities for Spirit Week? Today after Extended Day, I'm having my picture taken for the church's directory. Know what?....I'll probably look the same as I did in the last directory: old and tired with squinty eyes. Should I try cucumbers on the eyelids? Only trouble is the smell of cucumbers sorta makes me sick... so that might not be the best expression for the photo either. oh, well, it will give people a good chuckle. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Friday, January 18, 2008 7:44 AM CST Way to go Devin!

Mrs. G. and I were supposed to go to the grocery store today and buy the hoe-down food. but, after we went out to lunch, we hit two stores... and my OLD body said "NO more walking!". so, we'll do that tomorrow morning. but, my cupboard is as bare as old mother hubbard's. Yesterday I had popcorn and oatmeal for lunch, and beans and cottage cheese for dinner. tonight might just be oatmeal and cottage cheese. yummy, huh? Praying that your knee is healing correctly!!!! xxoo mrs pam - Monday, January 14, 2008 5:01 PM CST Hope kayla feels better soon. Thanks for the Christmas pictures. Loved them.

Look to the Lord for strength, whatever the future holds! Oh how I'm praying! 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Sunday, January 13, 2008 11:16 PM CST Hi Devin, Do you have pudding on Sunday, or do you have it everyday? We only have it on Sunday and one or other of the girls bring it, well, we haven't had any for the last couple of weeks, and today we ended up with about 5, Kayla was so happy when she arrived tonight telling us that she and her mammy had made "RIFLE" (trifle) and she was so proud when all the adults ate it, the boys don't like it they prefer spotted dick, which they had with custard. Kayla had both. Hope this is a good week for you and Kara, oh and your mammy and daddy too. Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Sunday, January 13, 2008 4:22 PM CST hi there devin how scary for the bohanons!!!!!!! thankful that they are okay. Mrs. G. came over yesterday, and we opened our Christmas presents. Then I turned the tape of Jessica the Hippo on, but I hadn't rewound it. And you know who I saw on TV?..... ME!!! It was an interview at my old school, probably 10 years ago. I had already retaped 2 hours, and was just lucky that "I" was still on it. Actually, I had forgotten all about it. I looked sorta dorky!!!! Found the bedspread, but nothing else. ??????? can't decide what to do today. The annual meeting is at church today, but since I can't ever hear anything anybody says, I'm not going to that. Should go to the service, but actually all the epiphany hymns are new ones..... so I wouldn't be much help there. can you tell I am talking myself into staying home today? prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Sunday, January 13, 2008 8:27 AM CST Hi Everyone, Well the kids have been back at school for a week now and I'll tell you they would much rather not be there,your two are'nt the only ones and I'm sure I can speak for most kids.It is still raining here so the boys still have'nt been able to get out and play.We are all keeping well except for some colds.Hope Randy's knee gets better soon and that Devin starts his physio.

Hebrews 6:17-20 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Sunday, January 13, 2008 0:43 AM CST HI Devin, Glad that you're getting around much better now that the brace is off.

I sure am hoping that the two bedspreads are on the other bed under the Christmas bedspread, but it is now piled high with items that need to go in the closet, and I'm not sure I feel like climbing the ladder today. ugh left to un-decorate: one bathroom, two bedrooms and one tree. I really think Tuesday's massage opened a can of worms. ugh am excited about heading to the bookstore today to use my gift cards for the pen pals. am even getting smart, and will take my list to see who will get what. alisa, thanks for the call. I'll check my newspaper. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Saturday, January 12, 2008 9:15 AM CST Hi Devin, Just popping in to say hello.

Hugs, Lisa and Kari <Lisa@iamtheshoe.com> Langley AFB, VA - Saturday, January 12, 2008 7:11 AM CST hi there Devin i just read a long e-mail story, and this sentence was part of it.... somehow, it tickled my funny bone: Remember.....Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car. toodles - Friday, January 11, 2008 5:52 PM CST Hi there Devin well, I picked Margie up at 11:30 and we headed west to the Original Pancake House. last week gayle and I went, and had a 40 minute wait, but margie and I got right in. Then we went to Kirklands, got a couple of sale items, headed to the Family Bookstore, and I got a two dozen things for the Pen Pals. THEN we went to Chesterfield Mall, so that we could fing bargains at Sears. not much left, but I did get two sets of lights for outside. SO then, we needed to go to the opposite end of the mall for margie's hairspray. wellllllllll, with my sciatica acting up, we had to stop and sit at every available chair. This is not a big mall. BUT, with all my stopping and sitting, all of a sudden it was 6 o'clock, and I had choir practice at 7. I made it with 5 minutes to spare. right now...no pain. so hopefully, the rest of the day will be that way, too, because this is our long day. featuring Indians today with sandpainted lizards and snakes for our mural board...which is REALLY cute so far with the cowboys riding their horses. toodles - Friday, January 11, 2008 7:20 AM CST Had this passage in my Bible reading this morning so had to share it. It's just so special, especially considering when it was written. Praying! Job 19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

Psalms 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Thursday, January 10, 2008 0:23 AM CST Hi Devin Oh how I wish we had your weather, we're all fed up with the gales and rain, the kids can't get out and when I went over for them at home time today I was so wet by the time I got back I had to dry my hair with the hairdryer, I really should wear a hat too. We can't use umbrella's in these gales. Can you imagine how wet we'd be if we lived more than 2 minutes away from the school? Alisa, I've just been watching a programme on the TV and it was all about property prices and how they expect them to fall this year with many repossessions possible, must be a global thing eh? Hope you get yours sold soon Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Wednesday, January 9, 2008 4:36 PM CST I hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas. The housing market is really crazy here too. I have two realtor friends and my brother-in-law has a mortgage company. It has been really bad for them. Praying something positive will come up with the house. I hope the kids are adjusting getting back into school. WWW.CARINGBRIDGE.ORG/AL/BROCK Amy Waggoner <tinleynbrock@yahoo.com> Trussville, AL - Wednesday, January 9, 2008 11:55 AM CST hi there Devin somebody out there sure knows that I like towels!!!! I just opened my last Christmas present, and there were the cutest elephants smiling at me!!!! thanks, Alisa! Actually, I haven't really opened my last present because Mrs, G. and I haven't had our official opening session. maybe next year we should do it before Christmas because I always give her several ornaments. or maybe, I should remember to not give her ornaments. Alisa, I'm going to try to call you Thursday morning before I head out with Margie. I figured that yesterday you would be out shopping with the kids back in school. I wouldn't mind renting your house IF Maddie and Willie were part of the deal... I sure miss those doggie-snuggles! prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Wednesday, January 9, 2008 7:47 AM CST Am sharing two verses today. The second verse is God's own interpretation of the first verse. When dealing with all the "floods" and vehement winds beating upon us, there is only One Sure Foundation. Praying so as you face these "floods." Luke 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Tuesday, January 8, 2008 9:38 PM CST Just checked in and put all your new pictures in my folder. Maybe some time Betty can come by and see them all. Hope this finds you doing better with your leg. Watch out for the skate board, don't want to be back on crutches anyway soon.ha Faye and Vernon Kidd <vfkidd46@yahoo.com> Lamesa, TX USA - Tuesday, January 8, 2008 2:54 PM CST hi there Devin so, how was school yesterday? Our temp was in the 70s!!!!!!!! but, we didn't go outside because sweet little Josie fell on Christmas day and broke her arm above the elbow, and she has 3 pins. so, there wouldn't be anything for her to do, and when the kids are playing nicely inside, I prefer to let them continue. So, I was getting ready to go to bed, and I read in the newspaper that a cold front and rain were coming in today. Went out, and took down (in the dark) all my Christmas lights, and put the Christmas things on the porch away. Good thing. It rained and all night with LOTS of lightening. Figure I'd catch up with the Pen Pals today, and get family room undecorated except for the tree. Wonder where I put all the pillows.... that leaves: Kitchen (probably the most stuff), hall, 2 bedrooms, and one bathroom. hmmm... maybe I haven't done too much after all. ugh prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Tuesday, January 8, 2008 7:42 AM CST This is a long section but the words are really special and comforting and special. Continuing to pray! Psalms 86:1-7 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Monday, January 7, 2008 11:54 PM CST Sure hope all you knee's feel better soon! If it makes you feel any better... Austin is not excited about school anymore either. Nathan is but he is only in first grade. Maybe it is just thier ages. Maybe it will change when they get in Junior high and the social part of school gets going a little more.. stomps, games etc. Are you tierd of snow yet?? I am!

We have a new cowgirl student today! I didn't find any cowboy shirts at Goodwill, but bought a bluejean skirt and a Talbot's vest that can be reversible now since I took the tag out. $3 each!!! :-) Sure wish you had as much fun in school as I do. School should be just as exciting for the teachers as it is for the kids! What could be more thrilling than watching your children learn new concepts? prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Monday, January 7, 2008 7:21 AM CST Hey Dev!! Dave and Mike went back to school today. I had to wake them up at 5:30am....they were not happy. Hope you heal fast buddy. Sorry about your dad and his knees...Mike has problems with his knees too. Hey Alisa, Hope that something happens with your home soon. Renting sounds like an option. I know there are lots of rental properties here that are doing fine...just not quite the sellers market yet. One of my friends did that rent to buy option. I really do need to catch up with you. My days are so freakin busy I wake up at 2:30am and make lists and toss and turn. We meet with the endo 1/25....she has done nothing but drag her feet....just want to get this gh thing moving before it's too late to help him.

Hugs to all, Kathy caringbridge.org/fl/david kathy <joy2jak@comcast.net> boynton beach, fl usa - Monday, January 7, 2008 6:17 AM CST A friend sent me this passage today and I thought it was especially good. There's nothing more comforting in life than knowing the source of our salvation. Know that I'm still praying! Romans 3:21-26 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Monday, January 7, 2008 0:45 AM CST Hi Devin and family, Wanted to stop by and check on you guys. Got snow????

Callum and Kayla both love to sing, but we've to coax the other two. Took down all our Christmas decorations today. We had to bring our inflatable snow globe inside to dry, huh. Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www,caringbridge.org/hi/kayla Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Sunday, January 6, 2008 6:17 PM CST Hi there Devin Happy Epiphany! Today is my grandson's 18th birthday!!! I learned a good lesson this morning: do not try to go down the basement stairs in socks. Fortunately I caught myself, and was able to turn around. just left the stuff on the kitchen floor. Think I will head to Goodwill today to look for cowboy shirts. Our room looks great, but we haven't really planned our activites except that we will paint horses tomorrow. should be funny. perhaps, I should say fun. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Sunday, January 6, 2008 7:46 AM CST Praying right now! Psalms 121:1-8 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Sunday, January 6, 2008 1:08 AM CST Hi Devin. What are you singing at Church tomorrow? I don't think we'll be going, Kenny is still loaded with the cold, and now Trudi has it too, we don't want to spread those germs around especially at this time of year with the weather so bad, gales and rain and bitterly cold.

Angela(Heather Grace's mom) MA - Saturday, January 5, 2008 10:04 AM CST hi there Devin right now I sound like the Big Bad Wolf: I'm just a-huffing and a-puffing! Put all the Living Room Christmas things away. But, I sorta overdid it, and that was really stupid because we didn't finish at school yesterday, and we're heading back this morning. One of Mrs. G.'s friends wanted to have lunch at Dewey's Pizza yesterday in Kirkwood. I'd never been there (nor had I ever heard of it.) QUITE good. It's a chain. do you have one out there? Well, we did a couple of hours of shopping, too, and Gayle got a $10 ticket for parking longer than 2 hours. I think the chamber of commerce should be told that that policy isn't too condusive for having lunch and shopping. I'll add that to my list of letters that I keep thinking about writing. hmmm.... figure I'll talk to Mom maybe on Tuesday after you guys head back to school... assuming that you do. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Saturday, January 5, 2008 8:12 AM CST Know that I'm still here praying! Isaiah 49:13-16a Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands...

I finally found some cowboy items. guess, they are going out of style. yesterday I saw a "real" cowboy when I was having dinner. I felt like asking him to come to school for a Show & Tell. one present left.... am saving it for a while. It is supposed to be in the 60s this weekend. Maybe 40s today. that's a 40 degree change in one week. great for taking down outside Christmas lights! prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Friday, January 4, 2008 8:49 AM CST HAPPY NEW YEAR ROSS FAMILY Sorry I couldn't come by earlier, we had visitors staying and they only left yesterday. I only sat down today and had a good look at all my Christmas presents. Thank you so much for all the great scrap-booking stuff, I'm looking forward to using it, also the book, I think it's the same one that you got Mrs Pam, I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I'll be starting very soon, once I get the house work and all the washing done. We had a flutter of snow today, it didn't last long though, I don't know why it doesn't stay it's so cold and with the wind it feels even colder. BRRRR Hope everyone is well. Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Thursday, January 3, 2008 8:44 PM CST Continuing to pray!

Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Thursday, January 3, 2008 7:18 PM CST hi there Devin not much to say here. just called to see if I could get my hair cut today... and have a 5 o'clock app't. Traffic yesterday was the BEST it's been in ages. ?????? were people afraid to venture out? wonder about today. toodles - Thursday, January 3, 2008 9:57 AM CST Everything okay there? And yup, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day services! Been really busy printing up everything for all the services! Still praying! Psalms 91:1-4 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Thursday, January 3, 2008 0:45 AM CST Hi there Devin looks like Lynn's church has a New Year's service. My church used to, and I miss that. Seems logical to start the new year in prayer. Well, today is the day that St. Louis has been dreading. Highway 40 (portions) will be closed for 3 years. ugh. it won't bother me too much, I don't think. however, those 100s of 1000s cars will have to be on some road. today, I'm playing bridge in Clayton, so we'll have to see how much longer it takes for me to get home. I started putting a few Christmas things away today. The dining room is now winter...all my snowmen have assembled there. I just need to set small goals for each day. "I think I can, I think I can...." are you off 'til the 7th? we are. Looking forward to some hot cocoa tonight. :-) prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Wednesday, January 2, 2008 9:45 AM CST These verses were part of my husband's sermon text today. This is a really good passage and speaks a lot to us all as we face a new year. Praying! Lamentations 3:21-26 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Wednesday, January 2, 2008 1:00 AM CST Hi there Devin HAPPY NEW YEAR, ROSSES! yesterday was Jan's birthday. So both of us had a bag full of presents for 2006 AND 2007 Christmas and birthdays...and it was fun exchanging them. Then I went to Carolyn's house to drop off presents for my Godson's baby. And was surprised to see Sarah's 18 month old baby (from California; parents in Wales for a wedding) for the first time. She looks EXACTLY like Sarah. Carolyn and Ernie became grandparents for the first time with that baby, and then their 2 sons became daddies within the last 6 months. So, they had all 3 grandchildren here for Christmas, and all three were baptised in their living room, and so were two of the moms! Wow! they also passed the flu around while they were here, so the baptism was just family...but, I got to see the video.

James Rochford, Bristol, England James Rochford <jr007e5090@blueyonder.co.uk> Bristol, England - Tuesday, January 1, 2008 4:59 AM CST As the new year begins everyone's thinking about time and counting it down. So I wanted to share THE section of Scripture dealing with time. Praying as one year ends and a new one begins. Whatever this new year holds, the Lord WILL be with you! Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
