In my last post I described the accident my son, Kyle, had.  A week later my mother-in-law was rear-ended and landed upside down in a ditch full of water. She is extremely sore and is having neck and back pain, but I'm so thankful she, and everyone else involved, is alive.

Since my last post

...our family has grown by one kitten. I wanted to name him Oreo simply because I'm overly fond of that delectable treat. But the name "Shadows" won out. He and the dog make quite an entertaining team.

...my 15 year old daughter, Cassie, had to see the doctor because of some enlarge lymph nodes. He said her psoriasis was infected. She is now on some medication and we are seeing improvement.

... Valerie Lopez-Robinson (a young girl of 16 who our church had been praying for) passed away. Though I know she is in a better place, my heart grieves for her family.

...I've been working hard and heavy on a writing project for Christmas. Which will be here before we know it. (I'm trying not to stress too much.)

And most importantly, since my last post I had a God given opportunity to share Christ with someone quite dear to my heart.

I consider myself blessed beyond measure, and I am thankful.  I suppose that's the most profound thing anyone can be:  Thankful.
