The Month of May
Matt and his fiancée, Kristy,
decided that they didn’t want to wait ’till October,
when Matt’s tour is done

(no, not that kind of tour), to get married.
So not only was I working my usual
, including 12-hour shifts,
but I was involved in the kind of frantic planning (including packing for my upcoming trip to Mexico
)
usually associated with preparing for a natural disaster
The wedding was very nice, though,
and I gained two wonderful grandchildren
(Kailyn and Shelby)
and a great daughter-in-law in the process.
Don’t you see that children are God’s best gift? the fruit of the womb his generous legacy? Like a warrior’s fistful of arrows are the children of a vigorous youth. Oh, how blessed are you parents, with your quivers full of children!
from Psalm 127; The Message

Hi Jim, Thank you for your comments on my other site (C_Just_Bible). I am just now getting caught up again on so many Xanga folk (like you) . . . from this site. I love the song that you wrote out first in Spanish, then in English. I found that I remembered most of my Spanish (with some help on about 3 or 4 words that you supplied for us.
) And what great happenings! Congratulations to Matt & Kristy and their children. Congrats to you, as well with the additions to your family. Blessings on your weekend! Your sister in Christ ~ Carolyn 
Blessings on your new family!
I luv the picture of all of them in prayer at the altar
Praise God that your family is growing:) So now eventually if they choose,they can have a household of “yours, mine, and ours” and then you’d have FIVE grandchildren:):) God bless, Gerrie
thanks for your comments. also wanted to congratulate you and your family on the spontaneous wedding!
Congratulations!
I love that passage from Psalms. Children are one of the best possible blessings!
Have a great weekend!

There are three of these water parks in the Dallas area, owned by the same company. Possibly they own some you have seen??
Have a great weekend….Mike

Hi Jim!! This is Kathleen ~AngelAware~ I saw your comment on Mikes site and felt sooooo bad we dident get the rules back to you right away
If Mike has not answerd you yet, I sent you an email from our contest site email with the rules and how to upload your picture to the photobucket ok
I am going to wait until tomorrow morning at 8 am my time to upload the contest onto xanga so you have all night ok. again Im so sorry for taking so long
I feel bad.
BTW:…… I read your xanga here, and you must be so proud of your son? Our Son is in Iraq right now. We never hear from him, but we are sending him letters and stuff and praying for him and his troop up there everyday
Congratulations on all the family doings!
RYC: Yes, indeed, Jim, as in the end of that quote, it can seem most ordinary. That’s how I would describe “entering the stillness” which is something I experience often, many time for a brief moment, but tangible enough to know, to hear, “I’m here now,” and sense the smile and love behind the words.
Thank you for your kind words.
I would love to hear about Matt’s adventure upon his arrival
God Bless
