Each day I have tried to figure it all out. I still have no answer. This whole flu thing has got me puzzled. I won't burden anyone with my thoughts on that, just comment on the result of this big "scare". The whole world seems to have stopped. All except work that is! First the treatment was delayed, then the rest of the world! I am thinking that maybe we all just needed a big break and this is God's way of giving the gift of time to all of us. He brought a glorious rain and then postponed activities so that we could sit back and enjoy it. We have not been committed to anything anywhere for several nights now. We have been able to come home and rest or do just whatever we want, play ball, work in the yard, sleep, have a meal around the table at a decent hour, and the list goes on. Granted, there is plenty to do because much has been mounting for several months now. But more importantly, there is nothing we have to do. Also, in the midst of the recent tragedy in our community, I can even see that He gave us this break to allow time for friends to support each other. No conflicts, no out of town trips, no late schedules - free time to focus on the beginning of a healing process. Time that may seem unimportant right now will be recognized as a valuable gift down the road. Time, not only for those directly involved, but for the rest of us to PRAY. Many prayers are needed to carry our friends through their loss. I hope we all make the best use of our extra time.
Much love and warmest wishes to all, Missy

Had a good visit with the BROWN
family today. Was good to see them relaxed and UN-RUSHED...(Sorry Mark that you had to work but...we put YOUR MONEY to good use at POSADA !!)
Was going to offer to feed them supper but glad I didn't !! After I found out what they did have my
MAZIO's Pizza seemed kinda yucky !!
Hope you all enjoyed your day despite the drizzle & cold. Now get those pots filled with pretty plants !!! If you need any more of the "purple stuff" or the "green plant" just let me know.

Just wanted to share something with Mark, so I found this poem. Love, Janet
ps to Landon: 'Ciao' has been borrowed by other languages and they spell it many different ways, so you ain't so wrong! Molto bene!
"I REFUSE TO BE DISCOURAGED"
I Refuse to be discouraged, to be sad or to cry
I Refuse to be down-hearted and here's the reason why
I have a GOD who's Mighty, who's Sovereign and Supreme
I have a GOD who loves me, and I am on HIS team
HE is all Wise and Powerful, JEHOVAH IS HIS name
Though everything is changeable, my GOD remains the same
My GOD knows all that's happening, beginning to the end
HIS Presence is my comfort, HE is my "DEAREST FRIEND"
When sickness comes to weaken me,
to bring my head down low
I call upon my Mighty GOD, into HIS arms I go
When circumstances threaten, to rob me of my peace
HE draws me close unto HIS breast, where all my strivings cease
When my heart melts within me, and weakness takes control
HE gathers me into HIS arms, HE soothes my heart and soul
The great "I AM" is with me, my life is in HIS hand
The "GOD OF JACOB" is my Hope, it's in HIS strength I stand
I Refuse to be defeated, my eyes are on my GOD
HE has promised to be with me, as through this life I trod
I'm looking past all circumstance, to Heaven's throne above
My prayers have reached the heart of GOD,
I'm resting in HIS love
I give GOD thanks in everything, my eyes are on HIS face
The Battle's HIS, the Victory mine, HE'LL help me win life's race.
