Well, we were laying down the brick and mortar and putting up all the wood over the windows for Jay and his next bout with hurricane cancer. This time Jay will be kicking some major malignancy (sp?)!
We played some games ate @ Denny’s for lunch/breakfast and Sheila did some business over the phone and then we all went and ate Indian (from India) food tonight. During dinner Sheila had a meeting with 2 of her managers and Jay and I sat at the table eating and laughing at the Indian music videos that were playing on the TV screens in the eatery! It reminded us all of early musicals, heh.
Well, Sheila’s meeting went a little long so jay and I went to CompUSA to look and I finally got the Jabra 250 bluetooth headset for my cell phone I was wanting to buy (the church is paying half of it) and Jay drooled over everything (as usual, heh heh)
jay and I then went to borders to get me some magazines to read on the plane going back home (the airport magazine stands really need to up their magazine offerings to include some Home Theater stuff and some more video game stuff….. (bad airports…bad!)
Well, I am now going to go back upstairs to be with Jay for the last night of my stay (here at the house at least) and maybe watch a movie or play some more games, heh. love yall, take care and god bless each and every one of you!!1 please be in prayer for jay tomorrow! He is undergoing some heavy doses tomorrow and we are all a little nervous about it (whither we admit to it or not, heh) BUT we all know that it will go just fine and everything will be great and Jay will tell this cancer where to go……AWAY!!!!!) when this is all said and done. Please keep praying and please know how much I and jay and Sheila appreciate your prayer!
(Oh yeah…Tiffany is doing good @ camp too and she thanks you for your prayers too! love you all take care and God bless!
Well yesterday could have been better, but we survived the LP (lumbar Puncture) Chemo. Jay had a roiugh time of it because he said that the Dr. that does it went fast this time and it really caused him some serious pain in his legs, but madr it through OK. Jay talked to the Dr yesterday before the Chemo and told her about him having lots of night sweats. She was concerned that he might be getting a feaver due to the Cancer. He told her that he was starting to get some feeling back into the side of his face that has Balse Palusy, he could move it a very little bit, but he felt it was improvement. He also told her that he was starting to feel a little bit more pain back into his jaw, and that worried her too, because she did not want him to start to have the same stuff with the cancer coming back again while they are treating the nervous system right now with the LP Chemo treatments.
So… after she went away she called the head Dr. and now she has decided to not do the LP anymore and treat Jay’s entire body in single treatements. Thisd means super high doeses of Chemo! This will effect the entire body, and not just his blood only or not just his spine and brain only (which is waht they have been doing) Now they will do the high dose Chemo Methotrexate that will hit all parts of his body and even go into the brain.
The problem with all of this is that this is the stuff that will really kick Jay’s butt. He will be admited on Thursday for 5-6 days and they will (as the Dr. calles it) “Whip up a nive Chemo Cocktail” for Jay. She told him that it will effect his mucus glands (so he is asking for lots of foods that will coat his throut, ha ha) The Dr. also said that this is the one that will get involved into this stomach and GI trac, so that means feeling very sick, vomity, upset stomach, etc…
So, I will get to be here for him and Sheila for Thursday, Friday, and a little bit of Saturday until Sheila has to take me back to the Airport.
This is not the best news to hear, but I am glad they are finaly doing this and attacking thr Chemo in the entire body, because we were all wondering why they are just doing the nervous system (and possibably have the cancer come back into other parts of his body) or just doing the blood/bone marrow stuff (and have the cancer come back into his nervous system). So now thye will be doing the Chemo in his blood in Huge amounts and will hit the entire body, blood, bone marrow, and nervous system (i.e. spine, brain). This will really not be a fun time for Jay, but we are all glad they are tired of just treating one place and are not treating him similarly as if he had Leukima.
He still has Burkitt’s Lymphoma, but it is in his bone marrow, Central Nervous system, and possibly Jaw, slpeen, stomach, etc…
Wiell, with all that said As soon as I get home I will put up a picture of Jay and me so you can all see how good he looks…and I look heh. Love you all and Take care…..
Oh BTW: after we got out of the hospital we ate Mediterain food resturant called Aladdin’s Eatery, and dang it was really good!!! We had two orders of:
Kibbie
Two lean beef shells mixed with crushed bulgar wheat and stuffed with spiced ground beef, roasted onions & pine nuts then deep fried in peanut oil. Served with a side of yogurt & salata.
and Jay and I ordered:
Mediterranean Lamb Plate
Tender strips of marinated chargrilled lamb. Served with seasoned white rice topped with vermicelli, sautéed pine nuts, almonds, and cinnamon. Your choice of garlic or tahini sauce. Pita on the side.
and Sheila ate:
Mediterranean Beef Kafta Plate
Chargrilled ground sirloin, onions and parsley seasoned with herbs and spices. Served with seasoned white rice topped with vermicelli, sauteed pine nuts, almonds, and cinnamon. Your choice of garlic or tahini sauce. Pita on the side.
Oh yeah, and today I replaced thier fountian bottom plastice cover in the back yard and got the fountian up and going and Jay loves to sit down there to listen to it. I also installed an air conditioner in my room for thier guests anytime they have some. It should be nive and cold tonight for me.
Other than that we have been playing lots of games on the computer and Xbox.
Right now we are leaving to go eat Sushi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!! (My brother loves it too, heh.) I just hope he is not over doing himself! I will try to keep watching him and listening to Sheila to see when he needs to go back to rest or something like that.
Thank yall for praying for him!!! We are dreading gong back to the Hospital to be admited, but we are really enjoying today and tomorrrow!
and man I love my brothers church building. You all should see this church building!! I wish I was thinking about it while I was there and I could have shown you some pics. Maybe Jay will have some in his computer and I can post them, but man this church is straight out of the middle ages. It has all stone work inside and out. Even the shingles are made of stone and the woodwork inside is amazing!!! And I have not even got to the Stainedglass windows!!!! WOW Oh WOW Weeee! (boy that was stupid, heh)
Well, after church we went to a Mexican Food Tacaria, and the food was OK, not the best in the world, but after we spent about 30 mins talking to the waiter we found out if we wanted the good food then we have to call ahead and tell them to fix non-Gringo food and they will. They even have Lengua Tacos and Homemade Chorizo!!!
Oh man, I wish we would have made friends before we went to eat there, heh. (Although I don’t think that Sheila cared too much for the ingredients of either one, heh.
Well then we went back to the church because I forgot my wallet (typical of me…I think I have too much of my mother in me…and yes Jay and Sheila were quick to point that out, heh) The music Director went back to the church and found it and then we met her at her house to pick it up and she showed off her garden…and dang do I mean her GARDEN!!!! Dude if you can grow it she probably had it. She had several gardens on her property, and I really thought I was walking around Martha Stewart’s Gardens or something.
She then feed us all of her different kinds of nuts that they grow and harvest and enter all of this stuff in County Fairs all over PA. Man I had Black Walnut, Hart Nut, Hazel Nut, Butter nut, etc… It was really cool, and I had no idea all those nuts had such a great flavor, wow it was amazing!
Then we went to Wal-Mart for Sheila’s to pick up the ingredients for her famous Herb Chicken dinner she cooked for us tonight (oh man that was good!!!!) and while she went shopping Jay and I went to a GameStop and I found Crimson Skies used and he bought a used Halo (still can’t believe he did not have Halo yet) used Crimson Skies so we could play over Xbox live and then he got another Xbox Live subscription so we could play each other and talk over the Xbox for free, and play game together. We then came home to cook and let Jay rest from the long day and then Sheila’s parents came over and borought their dog with them!!! Man, I love dogs. They rock this planet and man they love you. I don’t care what anyone says, and now that I am a cat and dog owner I can say this and mean it, “dogs are better, heh) I mean you could starve a dog for a week and come home and that dog will pee all over him/herself just so they can give you a kiss and love you and be loved by you……if you did that to a cat they would look at you and say, “where the heck is my food you dumb dumb head?”. No please don’t misunderstand me, I love my cat Sushi too, but halo is maybe just more affectionate with his love, heh.
Well, we then watched School Of Rock with Sheila’s parents and then played some Crimson Skies and now I should be in bed instead of doing this post, but heck why not show yall some love!!!
Well, we will be at the hospital all day tomorrow for Jay to get another round of Intra-Thecal Chemo (sp?) Apparently he gets to do three more of this chemo straight into his spinal fluid and then he gets to go back to the CHOP chem into his blood. He has this Monday (today), Thursday, and then next Monday, then he starts back doing the CHOP.
The cool thing about the Spinal Chemo is that it does not effect his blood count so he gets to be out in public and does not have to worry about being around kids and stuff, but he goes back to that stuff in two weeks, so please keep him in your prayers.
also, Tiffany is leaving tomorrow morning for the Jr. high camp so be in prayer for her too. Yall Take care and God bless ya!
Oh BTW: I found a magazine I have fallen in loved with and it is not a Home Theater Magazine or even a Video Game magazine!!! It is a Christian Magazine and loved the one that I bought and read in the air plane on the way here. The magainze is called
The Christian Research Journal. It is basically a magazine about Apologetics in a postmodern world, and man I loved it! Now the guy that I think started it may have some theology that is different than what I believe, but it is still a great magazine and I am seriously thinking about getting a subscription to it. I hope if you can find it in the news stands around you or while you are out on the best date ever (Barnes-N-Nobles drinking coffee and reading free books only to go back and do it next week and read entire books and all kinds of magazines for free) then check it out, it should at least be an interesting read.
Ok, well I have to go to bed, it is 1:41 am here and we have to leave the house for the hospital by 9:00 am tomorrow. So take care and God bless yall! keep up the prayers! Thanks yall!
Well, I am here in Greensburg, PA
We survived the trip and boy you should see me now… I will try to take a picture of me and Jay and Sheils soon. I hope yall are doing good, I will try to post tonight sometime…so until then God bless yall!!!
I have been planning and doing a wedding and now it just finished, so hopefully that will be many more to come.
Also, I will be @ my brother’s house for the next week and so the posts might be sporadic for this coming week, but he has plenty of computer support at his house so I am sure that I will at least get one or two in sometime.
I have actually started some nice ones, but I just have not had time to finish them so in the mean time go check out the actually disks of the Star Ward Trilogy:
and the extras disc:
This one look REALLY cool, man nice art work for these releases!!! I love the extra’s disc with the images in Darth’s eyes, oh yeah that rocks!!!
Also, if you have not checked out HomestarRunner.com then you should the Strong Bad email is particularly cool this week, and I also sent you to the new home page for the site in the link which is always fun to see. If anyone wants to give me a gift, I am always up for The Cheat Kick doll a poster or the second set of figurines from The HomestarRunner.com Store!! This is a joke please don’t buy me anything…the fact that you are reading this is more than enough to keep me going for a LOOOOONG time, heh.
Well, Yall have a great week, and please be in prayer for my travel and of course Jay, Sheila, and Tiffany will be @ a Jr. High Retreat, so she probably needs the most prayer, heh. Love you all take care! Hope to post soon while I am gone!
All you inventors out there enjoy the Easter Egg.
OK, it has been a long time coming and I am deciding to give yall the Sushi education you all need! Oh you honor me John Choi!
OK, I figure I can just give you a bunch of links and maybe some photos and let you all decide for yourselves, but please just promise me that you will try it at least once in your life!!!! (And no not all sushi is raw fish, the best offering here in Santa Fe is a deep fried tempura shrimp and green chili roll. Ymmm Ymmm Good!!!
OK, first of all you need to find the closest Sushi restaurant to you and I found a website that allows you to find the closest one to you anywhere in the world:
The Sushi World Guide
OK, now that you know where to go (and if there are several places to go eat then find a phone book and call any random person with the last name Fujimoto, or Fujishima, or Fujita, or Tanaka…Etc get the point here? Just call someone or talk to someone who eats Sushi or at least might know something about Sushi)
Now you need to know something about the actually food you will be ordering and then eating.
<<<<<<<<<<----------------->>>>>>>>>>
Some basic terms:
SUSHI
Nowadays sushi is commonly known as raw fish on a piece of rice. But, actually sushi means vinegared rice that is rolled with vegetables, fish or pickles, then wrapped in nori, and sliced into rounds (Norimaki). There are different sushi formats: Nigiri (hand-shaped), futo (thick), maki (rolled), temaki (hand-rolled), chirashi (scattered on top of the rice).
NIGIRI SUSHI
Sushi format, hand-shaped piece of rice with any sort of sliced raw fish on top.
NORI
(Basically, fancy definition for seaweed) Thin sheets of dried sea vegetable. Nori is often roasted over a flame until its color turns from black or purple to green. It is used as a garnish, wrapped around rice balls or other foods, or cooked with tamari as a condiment.
WASABI
A light green Japanese root that has been dried, powdered, and made into a paste. It is traditionally used as a seasoning in sushi, sashimi, and in dipping sauces. Wasabi is very hot with a taste reminiscent of horseradish. i.i. will kick your tail if you use too much of it.
SASHIMI
Raw, slivered fish, usually served with a dip made of shoyu and wasabi. The different styles of filleting are highly ritualised,different fish are cut in different ways. This is just the fish no rice or anything else…just the fish, and nothing but the fish.
GARI (This is just ginger, sometimes pink or white)
Pickled ginger, usually pink and thinly sliced. Served with sushi to cleanse the palate between courses.
HASHI
chopsticks.
MISO SOUP
A protein-rich, fermented bean paste made from soybeans,usually with the addition of barley or brown or white rice. Miso is used in soup stocks and as a seasoning. It comes in a wide variety of styles from white to red, from slightly sweet to very salty and earthy, and crunchy or smooth.
EDAMAME
Soybeans, served in the pod as an appetizer.
<<<<<<<<<<----------------->>>>>>>>>>
You do not have to know how to speak Japanese to order, it is just nice to know what the menu is saying when you order it all.
Ok so lets start out and let me give you a suggested menu to order when you go eat Sushi.
(BTW: Most of the time Sushi is expensive so go with other people and then you can make them pay for the food and then you get to eat it all, heh)
Sample Menu:
Get some “Edamame” for the first course of the dinner.
To eat Edamame you ONLY eat the seeds inside the shell and then just put the shells on your plate or back into the bowl they came in. The shells will be taken up by the server when you are done.
Ymmmm Ymmm, salty huh? Not too bad huh? Oh yeah it is only started.
Ok, now I would probably go ahead and order some Miso Soup, and maybe a small side salad with Ginger dressing (typical dressing of the greens) (some sushi meals come with these two items.)
Ok, now you can go two routes. The first route is to just order a 7-15 piece sushi platter (dinner or lunch). This will come with a variety of sushi that the chief has on hand and then you just eat it up, but if this is your first time I would go with individual orders. And one order of one kind of sushi would look like this:
When you get to the restaurant they will probably give you a sheet of paper with all the different kinds of sushi on it and then you can specify the amount that you desire to order. Most of the time they will give you two pieces of Nori Sushi for each order, and yes that is probably going to cost you $3-$10 for just two pieces of sushi. (Always check to see if they have a happy hour or something like that and you might be able to find half off of certain kinds for that hour)
And if you go to an authentic Sushi place they might give you a warm moist hand towel to clean your hands and I have even seen a few men wipe off their face with it as well, the wait staff will take them back from you when they come to get your drink order.
Now, you will probably also notice that there will be hand rolls (temaki) and just rolls. A Hand roll looks like this:
and the regular roll is cut into pieces ranging from 5-8 pieces and looks like this:
So, yes the hand rolls and regular rolls cost more, but you get more (as you can see) (the picture has two rolls on it probably).
<<<<<<<<<<----------------->>>>>>>>>>
OK, now what to order:
two menus here one for the first timer and another of my favorites!!!:
1st time visit to Sushi restaurant:
Edamame
Miso Soup
small Salad
1 order each:
Salmon (Sake)
Tuna (Maguro)
Yellowtail (Hamachi)
Shrimp/sweet Shrimp (Ebi)
Now go for some rolls:
California Roll sometime it has the roe (fish eggs) around it (like this picture)but most of the time it does not like this picture:)
(A California Roll is made of crab meat, avocado, and cucumber) But, most places have all different kinds of California rolls some even have cream cheese and stuff like that so make sure it is just a plain California roll. The non roe version is Tiffany’s favorite and therefore makes it a good beginners choice.
Spicy Tuna Roll (This can be spicy so just be careful with it.) This is my 2nd favorite roll and my favorite place to eat this is at Kobe Stonegrill and Sushi House in Lexington, KY. He puts some small fried tempura batter into the mix and it adds an amazing texture to it, but it does not come this way most of the time)
Tempura Shrimp roll (This one is cooked so you wimps out there can still eat this one, it is just fried shrimp wrapped in the rice and Nori.)
Ok, that should fill 1-2 people up, but not me, heh.
<<<<<<<<<<----------------->>>>>>>>>>
Now for the fun stuff:
This is what I would order on top of what was on the other menu (my favs):
Seaweed Salad really good, but sounds bad, heh you just have to try it (tastes like soy sauce…so if you like soy sauce then you will love this!)!!!
Monkfish Liver (Ankimo) (this is basically monk fish Foie Gras, in a awesome sauce!) My favorite Sushi to order and sadly most places do not carry it. (I think it is also a seasonal thing too)
Fatty Tuna (Toro) Dang this is good, It melts in your mouth, and it is Oh so good! Super Fatty Tuna is the same thing, but this is a special cut with more flavorful fat in the tuna and it is just amazing!
Cooked Freshwater Eel (Unagi) Dang this is good! Usually has a thick Teriyaki sauce on it.
Sea Urchin Eggs (Uni) Now this one is not my favorite, but I always get it to show off for the noobs, heh. It should have that frill look to it and you need to only order this is a good restaurant or it will be the bane of our existence, heh)
Soft Shell Crab Roll (Spider Roll) You eat the entire roll legs and all because it is a soft shell crab, heh. But this is also cooked and man the flavor is amazing! This is my Favorite Roll to order!!!
If you order all the food at one time they might give you a sushi boat that looks like this (actually there are two boats, heh, hey why not it was my Birthday!) BTW: I am making the noise of two ships passing in the night, and the fog horn noise!)
<<<<<<<<<<----------------->>>>>>>>>>
OK there you have what to order there are just a few other things you need to know:
1. NEVER absolutely NEVER stab the fish with your chopsticks. Or two people grab a piece of sushi with two pairs of chopsticks. This is offensive to any Japanese. Apparently they use big chop sticks as a part of their funeral rights and pick up their dead’s bones with them, and so if you stab the fish you are offending them.
(Here is some updated info from a wonderful and intelligent visitor tot he blog that gave a few correction and meaning behind why you are not to do this):
“stabbing food with chopsticks is definitely a “no no” when it comes to Japanese table manners, but not for the reason you gave. It simply shows lack of skill. Very often food does need to be broken apart by pressing chopsticks into it and then prying the two points apart or even in a way “cutting” the food with the edges. (Using one hand, of course!!)Resorting to stabbing it merely shows you don’t have the skills to break up the food correctly. Your fellow diners might be offended by your crude methods, but the dead certainly won’t.
Here is some more information about what you said about long chopsticks and funerals.
Yes, large chopsticks are used during the Japanese funeral ceremony. Family members (in pairs) pick up the bones of the recently cremated and place them into a pot. (They hold one bone together using one pair of chopsticks each.) This is why it is terribly bad for two people to hold the same piece of food with chopsticks whilst eating dinner.
The other thing connected with Japanese funerals is the practice of sticking a pair of chopsticks into a bowl of white rice, so they stand straight up. This is very commonly done and the bowl is placed upon the alter in front or behind the coffin during the funeral as a gift to the deceased. It is therefore a major faux pas to stick your chopsticks and leave them standing up in a bowl of white rice. (I can’t imagine why anyone would want to do it anyway, but people are always warned against it just in case.)
I can see how a combination of information from these two elements of culture could lead to confusion about stabbing food with chopsticks.”
(thanks anonymous Sushi expert! It is great to hear the truth, and help out one Texan’s ignorance! You rock!)
2. Use the ginger to clear your pallet between different kinds of sushi so you can taste each flavor cleanly and wonderfully. Use it like you would sorbet in a fancy restaurant before you get to the main course.
3. When the food arrives at your table you can use chopsticks or it is perfectly OK to use your hands to pickup the sushi.
4. You should find a small dish (come in different shapes, but most common is rectangular very small bowl). This dish is for you to put your soy sauce in to dip the sushi into the soy sauce. It is typical to dip each piece of sushi in before you eat it (so dip the fish only not the rice…that gets you too much soy sauce and you can not taste the fish…but since I LOVE soy sauce…I do it all te time the wrong way, heh heh).
5. You will see on the plate a pile of ginger and a pile of wasabi for you to use.
6. Some people like to put a little of their wasabi into the soy sauce container to give it a little more bite. But the real men just add the wasabi straight to the sushi and see if they can take it, heh (actually crazy men do this, but you can call me what you will)
7. Most of the time you will eat the entire piece of sushi in one bite, but if you can’t that is OK too, for example the hand rolls are impossible to eat in one bite and some of the larger rolls (like the spider roll) are too big too!
8. It is perfectly OK to order just a little sushi and eat that then order more, so start out small and please don’t quit…keep going until you have found your favorite 5-10 kinds. There are TONS more kinds of sushi than what I have suggested to you or I love, so try it all and see what you do and do not like. Have fun with it!
9. Don’t ever forget to tip!
10. Just because you are in a Japanese restaurant does not mean the people working there are Japanese. I have been to several restaurants and they are Korean and even Chinese, so be careful about using only Japanese phrases below.
<<<<<<<<<<----------------->>>>>>>>>>
OK, here are some good things to say before, during, or after the course of the meal:
Domo. Thank you.
Domo arigato. Thank you very much.
Dozo. Please.
Gaijin. Outsiders, foreigners.
Gochiso-sama [deshita]. Traditional phrase closing a meal.
Hai. Yes.
Itadakimasu. Traditional phrase opening a meal.
Itamae. The sushi (or other Japanese) chef.
Konichiwa. A greeting, roughly `how are you’.
Omakase. Chef’s choice.
Okonomi. The practice of ordering sushi a few pieces at a time.
Sabinuki. `No wasabi, please.’.
Well, I hope you enjoy the Sushi, and please let me know if you used this sushi guide or not! I know it sure has made me hungry, heh! The most important thing is just go try it and don’t let the “ewwwwuuu grosssss” statements of the world hinder you from living a little! God bless you all! Take care and Good night!
I pray this prayer everyday and I thought you might like to have it to print off for you to tape on your computer screen or bathroom mirror or where ever you can see it every morning.
Now, a word of warning….”warning”…. no seriously. This is the hardest prayer I have ever found to really pray it and mean it. So, get read for your Gluteus Maximus (and Minimus for that matter (except that it is more of your hip than Maximus)) to be kicked if you really earnestly honestly pray this prayer. But I promise that your devotional life to God will do wonders when you can really pray this prayer...BTW: I still have a hard time praying this prayer totally honest and earnestly after praying it every morning for the past 5 years. Anyway, I will try to get you all a devo soon, but this will have to tied you over until I do it…. BTW… I have modified it for modern tongue (even though all tongues are kind of old school anyway, heh)
I am no longer my own, but Yours.
Put me to what You will, rank me with whom You will.
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed by You, or laid aside for You.
Exalted for You or brought low for You.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily give all things to Your pleasure and disposal.
And now, o glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
You are mine, and I am Your’s. So be it!
And the convenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven. Amen!
This covenant prayer is part of an entire service that Wesley wrote and would normally have his church do at the first of every year. For some excerpts from the service you can go HERE. Or you can read the entire covenant worship service in the United Methodist Book of Worship (copyright 1992) pages 291-294. You can find a UM Book of Worship on the desk of any UM Pastor (or at least you should find one there) or at any local Cokesbury Bookstore
Well, have fun with that one for the rest of your life, and let be able to grow closer to God and nothing else…Especially our selfish desires)!
Take care and God bless yall!
But, I got so into it I lost track of time. Sorry, I will try to put another one up soon. in the mean time read Philippians 3.1-6
Have fun, and then I will try to write about it soon. Have a grat day!
Oh yeah! If you want to see the Star Wars DVD trailer then you can check out Amazon.com and click on the high or low bandwidth versions! Oh yeah…I can’t wait!
OK, the only other thing I have to say is Happy Father’s Day to my Daddy! Daddy I love you so much and I can never express it! You are just a awesome, perfect, wonderful role model for life. You are amazing that you treat all people equal (which makes you a perfect judge!) and truly listen to God in all matters…even when it comes to me, heh heh. Thank you for being a wonderful example of what a Daddy is to be like. I hope if it is God’s will that I can be half the man that you are some day!
Have a wonderful Day everyone…
Oh, I forgot to tell you all that Jay is home from the Hospital (has been that way since Friday evening), but goes into the Hospital on Monday for another round of Chemo. Please keep praying, and thank you for your love! His wife’s birthday is Monday too, so she said that super effective Chemo would be the best Birthday gift she could ever ask for!! ha ha.
Hey Jay I got a phone call on Friday that is from a guy in South Carolina that his whole church is praying for you and tells me about it everytime I talk to him! He is a dang wonderful Church membership software rep, heh. (BTW: if you ever get into a church that wants to get serious about their church membership and computers then I think that ACS is the only way to go!
Just goes to show you that the church of Christ is far beyond any local church or even connectional church, it is truly universal! Thank you God!
The Easter Egg today is for all you girls out there. I can’t tell you how many times I played this game in Elementary school (mainly around 4th and 5th grade!) (Any guy would play this game because you got to learn the basics of flirting at such an early age, heh. (You can ask around, but I think I got to be decient at that fliting stuff, heh….Tiffany want to comment? lets see if you actually read my blog, ha ha)
.
Really, I am very tired and therefore not going to make a lonbg post to keep you (all 2 of you) all happy. I am sorry about this, but I am really really tired, and I really need to go to sleep. I have church tomorrow and have to say good bye to Tiffany’s parents.
BTW: Tomorrow is Father‘s Day so make sure you tell your Dad you love him! And if you forgot you can always till get a Amazon.com gift certificate for him and send it via email to him and he will get it within 2-3 hrs. heh. I hope you like your’s Dad! Ha Ha. love you all….
Oh and it probably will not be too bad to go ahead and give your heavenly Father a gift of not sleeping during the worship service tomorrow too! Ha Ha.
love yall!
