Well the election is over...

and I have not been here in a good long while, I suppose I get am distracted too often, with the things of this life.

Since I was last here Isaiah, Justin, Earl, Valerie, have all had a birthday. The anniversary of Jonathan's death has came and gone. I have had another very early miscarriage, this past month, (that was hard, I don't really believe I can carry another baby to term, I doubt I ever get pregnant again, it would be very surprising).

Other things that have happened or not, several court days have came & gone for the boy who killed Jonathan, and so far he is has not had to even go to jail or even as much as have his liscense suspended, (I think at the least he should not be driving, but I suppose it is not up to me not really anyway.)

Earl had not been able to find a job locally so he is in training to learn to drive trucks so maybe he will get hired to do that, if he can stay on the road a lot with no accidents maybe we will be able to get the bills caught up and paid.

Both Earl & I have taken a couple of unintended "vacations" at the local hospitals in this area, That is NOT a good idea in case your wondering, so that is one helpful tip or suggestion for you, stay healthy, if your not healthy get healthy so you don't get great big medical bills that are going to be very hard to pay especially with no insurance.

We did get Jonathans headstone, I think it turned out very well as far as headstones go, I hope I never ever have to go through buying something like that again, that was very hard, and very expensive. But at least that is one bill that is paid, and his funeral bill is paid so I don't have to worry with that, I wish he wasn't dead, but God allowed it so I have to accept that God already knew what was going to happen that day, I don't believe that means I have to be happy about it though.

I suppose God wanted to bring my attention to the family & friends of the person who killed Jonathan so that I could remember to pray for them, maybe no one else has been or something. So I will just pray that they get saved.

Justin completed Basic Training early August, he is in Idaho tonight learning to drive tanks, he will be going overseas, I really am praying that God protects him, and that God is merciful to him, that he does not get maimed or crippled, or killed. Also that God will guide him all through out his life.

Both Justin and Valerie have made professions of faith this year, I am praying that their professions are true professions that they are really saved.

Earl is in either New Orleans or Texas tonight, he may be going on to California, he won't be back until sometime around Thanksgiving maybe later, just depends on when the trainer decides he is ready to switch to his own truck. Hopefully God will keep him safe.

The price of gas went up really high for a while, it is still very high but at least it is starting to come down some. and I am glad.

Daddy got out of prison, he stayed with my sister for awhile but he isn't there now, he is dying with cancer, maybe he will go into remission, I don't know I hope he will get saved before he dies, but I don't know if he will or not. He is very hard hearted, he had said he was saved one time when I asked him, but he doesn't show evidence of that, so that is very sad.

Mother goes to church a lot, but if she is saved she has not grown very much spiritually in my opinion. I hoe she will be saved if she isn't.

My sister is going to have another baby, this baby is due in April, hopefully it will be very healthy and she will have a safe an easy pregnacy & delivery., I think it would be good if mother moved in with her, because I think they get along pretty well. But they both want to be "head of household" or "boss" so it would be hard for them, unless they could learn to get along better in certain areas.

I have started another webstore this past month, but still need to add pictures of the different things I have made.

The news is on, right now and the news reporter just said there are ten million or people unemployed in the United States today, and it will get worse before it gets better. I hope that the economy gets better one of these days, but it is doubtful that will happen in my time. Maybe one day. Unless the rapture comes first..

I miss Jonathan & Justin a lot, I remember one of the last things Jonathan said, when I told him to be careful, he said "why worry, you know I am always careful" and that was true he always was careful, no one who knew him ever dreamed he would be killed the way he was.

Justin is basically grown now, and wants to go his own way, so we are having to learn to be quiet as he makes his own mistakes in life, he has made good choices, & some not so good, it is hard sometimes to know there is really nothing you can do sometimes other than pray. We have had to turn him over to God, he will either turn out fine in time, or he won't. It is his choice, we have tried to the best of our ability to help him to know what is right and what is wrong. Now it is up to him. Hopefully he will do well, and I pray he learns from the mistakes of others so he doesn't have to go make all the same mistakes in his life as others have, & I pray he learns from the mistakes he has made so far, especially in reguards to finances. Hopefully he will learn to budget before he gets married. I have been praying for a number of years now that all of my children would one day find someone to marry, and have very long and happy marriage, & that they would raise their children to know God, serve God, and believe in God, that they would all live for God.

I have been slightly depresses lately but it is because I am in so much pain all the time, I wish I could just not be in so much pain. But I am, maybe as I loose this weight I will feel better.

It is raining tonight, I hope it will not be too cold tomorrow, as I have to go pack up as much of Justins stuff as possible. I hope I can get everything done fairly early tomorrow, so that is done.

I need to get by the mailbox tomorrow also hopefully we will have something other than bills in there.

Well I am doing better in the house keeping area despite the puppies and cats but it is not easy. I need more storage, or less stuff or both.

Well it's very late or very early depending on your perspective of 1 am. And I am tired so I think I will go.

I have so much to do, it is not funny. Maybe I will get done soon.

Hopefully, I will be able to start learning to use the sewing machine soon, if I can I am going to practice making quilts out of all the clothes that no longer fit anyone, but are too raggedy to give away, or that I just don't like. Any really thin worn out clothing I think I will cut into strips and make rugs or chair covers, I think that will be something good to do.

Well goodnight, hope you all have a great day, week etc. And I'll try to stop by again sometime. Not sure when though could be tomorrow could be a week or so down the road never can tell....
