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!

Post-Choir Prayer report

We began choir rehearsal tonight with a season of prayer.

There were four main requests, all of which I want to pass on to you.

1)  Dienna Rogers' 24-year old son Richard Gamache will be buried tomorrow.  His services are at 10am at Dimond & Shannon Mortuary in Garden Grove.  The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, contributions be given to CRIME SURVIVORS, INC.  

2)  Daun's mother, Ruth Garrison.  If she doesn't wake up with some alertness tomorrow morning, hospice nurses will interpret that as an indication that her body is shutting down.  In that case, the prognosis is anywhere from 48-72 hours.  Let's pray that she wakes up with some energy in the morning.

3)  Michelle Pate's sister Cheri Diaz.   It looks like they are definitely going to lose their home through foreclosure.  This is and extremely difficult and stressful situation for her family.  (Her husband's mother is very seriously ill in a distant city.  Very sad.  Cheri and Juan have four children.

4)  GOOD NEWS - Janet Overton told a beautiful story about the imminent reunion of her sister with a son she hasn't seen since his birth.  I can't go into details here, but it's a moving story, worthy of a Hallmark special!

So, please keep these updates in mind as you continue your praying.    Of course, we will be in special prayer for John and Michon's  friend Dawn.

Good Job, Don!

This is pretty neat, Don. Thanks for putting it together. I enjoyed your vision and think that having the prayer requests listed will help me be more dilligent in that department. I hope that your grandchildren are better soon. It's been tough for them lately.

Tomorrow is the viewing for Paige. I hear that Dawn is not doing very well. They are going to take up a collection for her at the salon, but John and I are going to contribute as soon as we know the details. Hopefully it will be of some comfort to them during this sad, sad time.

Woo Hoo ~ go, Samantha, go! I looked on the Miss Huntington Beach website and Samantha has got the beauty vote for sure. She is a gorgeous girl and I hope that her sweet spirit comes through as obviously to the judges as it does to me. Sammy and Paula did a great job with their girls ~ beautiful and nice... and Christians!

Glad to hear that Shiela is better! xoxo

Thanks for the baby prayers.

Love to you all,
Michon (O:
