"D" DAY!!!!

I never look forward to going to the dentist or doctor or the IRS office, but today I am excited to go to the doctor.  If this man can't help me get some relief from this pain, I may lose it.  It has been going on entirely too long, and I don't have the time to be down and out.  Life still has a lot for me to do, see, and feel, and this business of sitting or lying around is for the birds.  I would again appreciate your prayers for a solution.  Will keep you posted for sure!

Aryn goes to the doctor today too, to see if her ankle has healed properly and when and if she can play basketball again.  Needless to say, she is most anxious. She says it isn't fun going to each practice and having to sit on the sidelines.  A little prayer for her healing would be appreciated too.



January rings in the new year. May we all look back to count our blessings and look forward to good weather, good plantings, good health, and new beginnings!

January is here,

With eyes that keenly glow—

A frost-mailed warrior striding

A shadowy steed of snow.

—Edgar Fawcett

January is named for the Roman god Janus, protector of gates and doorways. Janus is depicted with two faces, one looking into the past, the other into the future. January was originally the eleventh month, not the first, until at least 153 B.C.
