Study and learn. Be changed.  Ephesians 2 Made Alive in Christ 1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not

I met Russell in 1986 and we married in 1989 . God has granted us a great love for each other and great patience with each other. He and I are very different. He is an introvert; I am an extrovert. He is logical/ analytical and I am all heart. It works...He stole my heart 24 years ago and I do not want it back. I thank God for 21 great years of marriage and look forward to all we have ahead....

I think we all have days that we wish we could redo. I had one of those this week. Madeline, my daughter who is almost 10, was swinging outside with my 6 /12, year old son, John-Michael. John-Michael is my son that has NF, a tumor disorder. I am overly motherly, overly protective with him because he is the baby and because of his health. This is one thing that I have to be aware of as I parent him. I know it isn't' good for him and I have to make myself not baby him to death. Anyway, they were swinging in our backyard together and John-Michael had decided to swing with a 2 foot long stick. Well, I don't know if you all let your kids swing with sticks, but I don't even like them playing with sticks. I am forever saying, "put that thing down." She didn't alert him to the danger and tell him to put it down. John-Michael didn't remember those many, many conversations that I have had with them about sticks. He comes in crying....he has scraped himself with

Look at her.... isn't she lovely? My precious Lupe' was a chihuahua/ papillion or a long-haired Chihuahua. We really miss her. It is hard to believe it has been several weeks without her. I keep thinking she is here. We miss her so much. This is why we decided to look for and find a papillion/ poodle....basically Lupe, minus the shedding. This is Olivie (Ah-Lee-Vee) our 7 week old papipoo. I once heard someone say, "isn't that a gynecological process gone awry?" LOL...anyway, we get to drive 7 hours to go get her in less than 2 weeks. I think she is just sweeter than sweet. 8 years ago, we did the puppy thing with Dirk, our schnoodle. I remember those nights of getting up every 3-4 hours to let him out. I am trying to get extra sleep now in anticipation of that. :) I will keep you all posted.
