Hi All,
We are praying for Jimmy. We just found out about his night at the hospital with the hip injury. We are so sorry and will be thinking of him and Karen. Is there anything that we can do to help?
Love,
Michon and John

Hello Everybody!
Hi all,
I've missed seeing you the last few weeks. It is unusual to go that long...
As you know, my folks were in town last week and I took them to Disneyland. That was one thing my mom, in particular, really wanted to do and Wednesday worked out the best. They were sorry to miss our small group (as was I) that they have grown so fond of! They wanted me to say hello to all of you and to wish you their best. They were able to attend Easter services here, though, and they loved it. They just love our church, and we couldn't agree more that it is a great place to be! After church, we all had a nice time with John's family in South Pasadena for a pool party and BBQ ~ it was very fun to have the crew all together!
John and I took the girls to Palm Springs for a few days this week for their Spring Break, and the weather was wonderful. We did a little shopping at the outlet mall (well, just me, but I couldn't help myself!) and then went to stay at our timeshare. We all went to Knott's Soak City on Wednesday, and they even got me to go on the Pacific Spin twice and it was SCARY! I had to be my bravest and think about the root beer floats that were coming after the long day just to get through it! It was a nice little getaway, though we would have loved at least one more day. Now we are back and trying to get home and work matters back to order before school starts again on Monday.
Not much else is new here. We are still praying everyday that God will bless us with a baby. So far we have had no luck, though we are continuing with the acupuncture treatments and herbal remedies. My deepest hope is that we don't have to get into taking drugs and doing even more painfully invasive, ridiculously expensive proceedures... and that somehow things will just work and it will happen naturally. When I think of the miracle of the resurrection, I realize that God can do anything, and that maybe He could make this miracle happen for us. If you wouldn't mind praying about it, too, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
Love you all,
Michon

Update on Daun's Mom
I talked to Daun this morning. Her mother has had a couple of good days! Yesterday she ate her milkshake (Ensure, pudding, protein powder, and vitamin powder), gatorade, and popsicles--all of this without meds to coat her throat. They are taking it one day at a time. I'm sure Bill will have more to tell us tonight, but it's nice that Mrs. Garrison has had some good days this week.

An Impossible Challenge?
An impossible challenge ?? (I put the title above...)
A pastor in Kansas City challenged his congregation to go 21 days without complaining( the amount of time some say to change a habit.) Special bracelets were distributed to participants as a reminder to live a complaint-free life. "Do all things without complaining and disputing." Philippians 2:14.

(I hate it when people ask me not to complain! - OOPS! I guess I need that bracelet!)
Who posted this?
Thanks, whoever you are!

WE WANT PICTURES!!!!!
Okay Paula and Sammy. I saw LOTS of digital cameras today at Aubrey's baptism! We need some pictures here on the blog! That way they'll always be here for us to remember and cherish.
What a special day for you guys! We were so happy for Aubrey and her grandpa. What a truly beautiful occasion.
I talked with Bill today. Daun's mother was having a great morning! She rallied and even "ate" a popsicle today. (She actually climbed out of her bed and walked to the couch in the living room!)
This is good!
Love you all...see you here at our house Wednesday!

Baptism Tomorrow!
Great news, everyone! Sammy & Paula's 10-year-old granddaughter, Aubrey, will be baptized Sunday after the second service. I'm sure Sammy & Paula would love for us to be there if we can.
Enjoy your Saturday, the first day of March!
