January 5, 2009


I can't believe I haven't posted since the new Year! Busy, Busy. The days are passing so fast. I think we are getting it all together. Maybe we will be ready by the time the date gets here! We got a huge project out of the way this weekend. Thanks to Mom, Dad and Danny for helping get the chickens taken care of yesterday. And, also a great big thanks to Isaela who took many of the birds to her family. That project usually falls on the Sunday after the sale which would be the day before we leave. Putting up chickens is not what I have time for that day. Just one more thing from our list out of the way. The kids show their birds this week and I am sure they will be glad for the break when it is all over. Mark and I have talked a lot about next week and he is really ready to face it and move on. He is as prepared as he can be and looks forward to having it behind him. His attitude is great. That coupled with all the help we are getting from upstairs and all the support we receive from all of you carries our load daily. Thanks everyday for everything. Missy

I am working with a guy from Kell West that works with Scott Jackson. He said Scott told him what you were going through and asked him to pray. Another wow!
We are praying constantly for you Mark and Missy and kids. This is going to be a group effort because God says where two or more or gathered in His name....there are over 7,750 hits on your blog that are praying. Of course some of us are repeats. Know that I love you and want to do anything I can to help you "get ready." We can't always pray to be out of the storm sometimes we have to learn to dance in the rain. Love yall bunches

I LIKE WHAT YOUR LIL SIS CINDY
WROTE "LEARN TO DANCE IN THE RAIN"
IF YOU STOP AND THINK ABOUT THAT...
"DANCING IN THE RAIN" CAN BE COMFORTING. TAKE "COMFORT" IN KNOWING THAT MANY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE "RAINING" DOWN ON YOU DAILY. LOVE YOU GUYS.

I would not tarnish this precious site with pics; however, Mark, if you ever get weary of docs messin' with your dignity, just try to picture that poor guy in Vail on New Year's day. Do you realize that if God hadn't planned for you to just rest on your ski trip, that could have been you! Hold on to that thought, as I try to think of more coping skills to share along the way! ha Love ya!---Janet
