I'm sorry I never thanked you or updated you all for the prayers for the poison ivy. It's finally getting much better. Yes, I did use baking soda paste and calamine lotion. Still do at night cuz it starts itching. It's definitely clearing up. Skin is dry and my Nat.Dr. said to put olive oil on to soften it. It does seem to help. Thanks for all the prayers for me and Pat.

God always answers prayer, and I love it when we get to see the results, are positive.

I was just thanking God today for all the years of sickness, that drove me to taking better care of my husband, and getting the nutrition, that he needed to support his imune system against the dammage he sustained in Viet Nam, another one of his regiment, died. they are all either dead or dying. I thank God my husband is reletivily well, that rash he came home with is still with him, and as he ages now 60 it is more difficult to clear up. but the Olive Leave Extract seems to be helping alot. I would never have found that with out all the illness I have gone through.
Now he is out in the hay field rolling hay, so he can bail in about 2;am. when the due comes up and makes it damp so the leaves will cling to it when he bailse it.
I used to help him more but I am getting much better I think I will be able to soon. I always enjoyed it when he chased me around the piviot all night long.

May we all little by little get better, and greatfull for the experience. God is in control, and he is directing our steps, looke with expectation, at your circomstances, and learn from them. God can always use them to better our futures. Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice to give us the grace of Rightiousness, so before the throne of God we can go boldly, with our pettitions, and stand in the gap for those who are to ill to help themselves. "When you are sick call the elders" that they may pray. Amen

GOD knows his and our hearts...it was an accendital over dose. he had just god out of juevinile detention in florida and was up here with his mom for the summer because he lived with his dad ...for those of you who go through hard times. truse in GOD he will see us through. my thoughts and prayers are with you all as mikey looks down from HEAVEN on us all...GOD BLESS..

Dear *D* I am so sorry for your loss! 16 seems so young,none of us can recognize a good day in the mind of God, we must all trust and believe every day is a good day, for God directs our steps, and he will make a way for us!

Grace is God doing us a favor, coming in with His power and might to accomplish in and through us what we can't do for ourselves, or any one else.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me - 2 Corinthians 12;9 NIV

Praise God for sending Mikey home, so he could go to church with you, and got saved, God's Omnipotence prepared him for what was about to hapen to him, we don't know why, we can only guess, but I know God protects us, he will not allow us to get more than we can take.

I will help you stand in the gap for his unsaved family, Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together( about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven. - Matthew 18-19 I will fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God's unmerited favor to sinners(, that I may receive mercy [for my failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need {appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when I need it}. - Hebrews 4;16 Amen

Wow, Don as sad as that all is to be losing Mikey OMG, what a blessing, really! And to think that now 2 more besides Mikey will enter the kingdom, how totally awesome.
On the other hand a co-worker of my husband's who was such a wonderful, fun, good hearted guy, had a major heart attack Sat. nite. I found out tonite they were pulling the plug. He never came to since Sat. night and the brain waves were less and less. It's very sad because my husband even drew a picture of the cross and explained heaven. Dick kinda laughed. Oh, how sad for him because it was so sudden at a wedding. His ex-daughter-in-law attends our church now and is bringing her family up Christian. We pray for Dick's family and this funeral that somehow the gospel could be presented to the others. God help them. God give each of us as Christians the courage to speak out for you. I pray Don that your family continues to see Jesus in you and your wife and now in your other family members as well. God bless you. I know it must be very hard even tho good has come out of it.
*UPDATE* on my friend Pat. She's home now, doing much better but still on lots of meds. Praise God that her sister came from Mlps. to stay and help.
They're saying our house may not be ready for us to move into the 29th when we need to be out. I'm believing God can still work. God told me over and over it would be a smooth transition. I must walk by faith and not sight. God bless everyone for prayers and kindness. (((((BIG HUGS DON))))))))))))

More Good News thank you Barb G for the up date on Pat. Little by little, better and better.
We can not judge anyones heart. when I lead my father in the sinners prayer a week before he died, it was so precious to me, but some friends even family still doubt his salvation. I always remember the theef on the cross one laughed, but the other asked forgiveness in his dying breath, we do not know what happens in that last breath befor they slip out, weather it is in to paradice or not. Even Jesus didn't judge judgement will come at the appointed time. God Bless your friend Dick, and have Mercy on his sole, yes open the eyes and hearts of his family in this time of sorrow, give them peace, and comfort, let them know how much You love them. in the name of Jesus, Amen.

As for me I was raking hay yesterday, the new tractor is more comfortable, and easyer to drive. I was able to rake hay in front of my husband, for 2 hours, then a nap, but still much better than the past 3 years has been, thank you for your prayers. This gives me more hope, for a straonger future. When I was out to my mothers she had baught the 7min. calentics, and she shared it with me, it was helping her to get stronger, and I believe it is helping me too. I have always knowes about calenetics, when my dad was in the VA hospital, his Marine buddys would encourage him to do calenetics to strengthen his leggs, and even thought the Dr. told him he would never walk again, he walked out of that hospital, and I watched him hang his braces on the shed wall, when I was about 4 some 5 years later, and he never put them on again. He had such inerstrength, and determination, I always admired his grit right up untill the end. affter he put his trust in the saving Grace of the blod of Jesus. He called all his friends, and relatives, just to tell them he loved them. I think that was enought fruit, to prove to them, he had given his life to Christ.

May we all remember to treat each other with love, for none of us know when it will be the last time we will ever get the chance to tell them we love them, before they are called home. God Bless each of us with decernment, wisdom, and courage! and may we leave the judgement to You Amen

I just want to cry and cry. Things are not right with Pat. I talked to her on the phone and she's just rambling and very critical of everyone. She said her husband wants to put her in the psych ward again but they won't take her cuz she checked herself out. She said everyone is telling her what to do. She was bashing me about things too. I told her people are trying to help her. She said " I need prayers". I said "people are praying" and wanted to say about you guys. She hung up on me. My husband said I need to leave it go cuz it's upsetting me a lot too. Talked to two other friends and they said we need to back off and send her e-mails or cards. E-mails may not be good either because the e-mail she sent out was really mixed up. Whenever I call her, her line is always busy. There's so much more I could say but I'm stressing myself too much about too many things right now. Oh God, PLEASE help Pat and me too!

Forgot to say Pat's sister went back already and Pat said she's glad. It's very hard for people to be around her because she won't sit still and nobody can do anything right.
