I would greatly encourage you to check out Justin's blogspot. This past weekend we passed him off as a German speaking PB from Bosnia. (In real life he's Gary's cousin, but that's not near as funny.) As we have finally convinced him that a blogspot is an awesome thing, please check in on him once he gets some post up.

The List has been updated once again. A few notes...

Parker Allen is continuing to slowly improve. Please keep this family in your prayers. I received an email from my mother this weekend to let me know that they have set up a website to keep everyone posted. The faith of the family should remind us all of what's important and who it is that hears our prayers and has the power to answer them. Check it out here.

Aunt Joanna's father's name is Fred, so he is now on the list as Bro. Fred. I have not heard any updates, but I do know that she left to go up to Georgia to be with them yesterday afternoon.

Bro. Hazen White was the brother that fell and broke his leg. He is about to be 98. I am waiting for an email from my dad or grandmother as to his status. Please continue to remember him.

Nathan Ferrel seems to be impoving, go and check out his mother's blogspot here.

Finally, thanks for the prayers for the meeting. We had a great time, and will be posting more about it soon. However, it will suffice to say, it was the best meeting I've been too in a really long time, and most everyone seemed to agree, also all of the Little Union people made it home safe and sound.

***Updated 4/29***
Bro. Hazen White has had surgery and will be in rehab for the next two or three weeks. They are unsure whether he will be returning home, going into assisted living, or a nursing home.

I want to say an extra special thanks to everyone that has been praying for my uncle, he has found a new job and will be starting June 1.

Bro. Fred has Mylowdisplasia a bone marrow disease, which could progress into luekemia. Please keep them in your prayers. Aunt Joanna might be home this weekend or next, we'll have to see.

I have also added Baby Kent. After talking to Blaire some this weekend I found out that one of her cousins just had her baby early and he has a heart defect. Kent was transferred from Huntsville Hospital to Vanderbilt University Hospital yesterday. The doctors plan to do open-heart surgery on him before the end of the week to try and patch the ventricular septal defect. They plan to follow this up with a cardiac catheterization to see if there is any more they can do. However, they said that even with the surgery, they expect Kent to have a maximum lifespan of 2-3 years. We know that our Lord can bless their efforts and give him a long life. Whatever the outcome please be in prayer for this family.

The last thing we did, when Gary got off of work on Friday, was that we all traveled over to St. Pete to see a Rays' game. Somehow, we got marvelous tickets. Gary and I were sitting on the 5th row, behind the White Sox dugout. Then Mother and Daddy were sitting a few more rows backs. At the 7th inning several folks left, so they moved down to the row in front of us for the rest of the game.

Friday, after being pretty lazy and talking all morning, we got up and headed to the beach.

There are little endearing moments that I get dispersed through out each day, that make me love my husband all the more. I thought I would share a particularly funny one tonight, while it's on my mind.

For those who don't know, Gary leads singing. I'm not sure if I would say that through it he has the gift of exhorting, but I'd say he's close. He loves to sing and he really does have a gift to lead and make you feel the song. He sings churchy stuff all the time, cooking, in the shower, in the car, and in his sleep. Yes, you read correctly he sings in his sleep.

Sometimes when my exhausted hubby gets home, after supper, when I'm trying to get a few extra hours in. I hop on the bed with the laptop and turn on some music, and he hops on the bed and takes a nap. He has done this before with various country artists, rolled over sorta awake and sung a line and dropped right back off. But tonight, I have on a cd with instrumental church songs, no words, and he in mid-snore, he hums a bar of "Amazing Grace" sings a few of the words, then procedes to snore the next bar as if he were humming. I promise you I am not making this stuff up. Moments like this make you want a video camera.

It made me smile, and thank God for the good man he's given me.

Today is Earth Day. Hurry run outside, I know it's after 10. Get out of bed, and go plant a tree. We like trees. They are very pretty. I've talked about the wonderfulness of trees often. So hurry, go and plant a tree. You can even hug one if you like, but don't go overboard.

The Prayer list has been updated, please take a look.

This desert dish was the only causalty from moving. However, thanks to everyone's great help, painting, steaming, cleaning, moving, and unpacking stuff. Here's what the place looks like now...
