I saw you on the "Do you believe"....(the post about h#ll) and wanted to say something but things kind of took off there. The last two posts I knew about were mine and a very nice post I received from Freetobe. I hope she got my answer. I do think I saw one more after mine and then, "poof". I didn't say anything that would have gotten poofed...I was just responding to Freetobe's nice post. I don't know what took place after that . That discussion went so well for so long.

I gave my email address to someone to give to you some months ago. Did you ever get it? I am mostly at community and viewpoints now. DH is having some more health problems. He had his prostate removed due to cancer before that cardiac arrest he had. Now, it appears the cancer is back. We will know more in 2 weeks when he goes back to his doctor. My dad is doing better in the nursing home. It took him about 6 months to accept being there and his meds for depression and dementia are really working well for him now. The social worker in the home he is in told us that mentally he is in a good place now and that he holds a special place in her heart. That made us feel good. He says they treat him well. He has his own room now and we have a little fridge in there for him. He says that makes it more like home. We see him often. We are there a lot and have been impressed with his care. Physically he has gotten quite feeble. He absolutely loves it when I take one of my Gaither music DVD's for him to watch in their little media room. There are birds in there and they sing their hearts out. Guess they like Christian music, too!!! Ha! Hope this finds you well. Good to hear from you.

Hi friend:

I seldom go over to "Friends" these days other than to check out from time to time what's happening to the ladies on "over 65". I was just spending too much time over there and even though I liked the ladies there very much I found I just couldn't keep up with all of them in the way I should on a board. There are people in my life who know me in person and we share our problems; especially siblings and close friends. I realize some don't have this advantage and the boards are a special place for them to share their concerns; everybody needs an outlet after all. Also, there was a misunderstanding some time ago on the boards that was very upsetting to me at the time and I can't help but be reminded of it everytime I get on "Friends". ( It was nobody you would probably know anyway) It's hard to really get to know a person just by written correspondence. By the way, I am way overdo with an e-mail to Joy and I owe Delaney an e-mail from way back. Sometimes I just can't seem to get my thoughts in order and after so much time I often feel embarrassed to write to these special people.

Yes, dear Joy did send me your e-mail address and because it hadn't been put on the computer permanently it got deleted when my son took over my computer. (He doesn't use it anymore). Do you have mine? If not, I will add it here and delete it after I am sure you received it.

That is such good news about your Dad Jubilant. It was such a trying time for all of you. It's easy to say that things will be just fine but afterall when you are the one who is actually going through the trauma, sometimes we have our lapses of faith and that goes for the experience you are having with your husband as well. When we can relate to someone's problem as I can in both of these instances my heart really becomes part of yours for your concerns. Maybe you can give me some more details in a personal way as I pray for you.

If you don't feel comfortable leaving your e-mail address, just let me know if you have mine; I've never had any problem.

Hope to talk to you later.

In Christ's love,

HiLo

By the way, every time I turn to "My utmost for His highest" devotional, I think of you.

Hello to dear Jubilant and HiLo! Please excuse my intruding on your convo. Just wanted to say that I did just resend Jubilant's email addy to HiLo, so no need for either of you to risk posting yours here publically.

HiLo, you need NEVER feel badly about whenever you can get around to writing me. I completely understand and it's always a blessing to hear from you!

Love, hugs and prayers to both of you! ~Joy

Thank you, Joy, for doing that for HiLo and myself. I appreciate it.

HiLo, email me when you can and it's convenient for you. I know people are busy and I don't want you to feel pressured. I so enjoy you and Joy very much. You are both such encouraging and uplifting people.

You're so welcome, Jubilant! Just seeing your name here always brings a smile to my face. You are such a delightful person and always encouraging others! The emoties aren't working for me, so just picture a big, beaming smile on my face!

Hugs and continued prayers for you and your family. I am so very sorry to hear of your husband's cancer returning. What a stressful time for you both. Please keep us posted -- by email is fine, if you prefer. I'm sure you will hear from HiLo very soon, if you haven't already. Hope your weekend is a nice one.

A lot going on here now with Granddaughter. It seems I have all my doctor's appointments around this time of year and just that keeps me busy. Last year I spent so much time in the dentist's chair I hate to even think of a cleaning. Tomorrow the man will be here to clean ducts; never had that done before.

Finally got around to writing Joy the other day. Will write you soon as I can get myself together around here, Jubilant. It's hard having a grown son around these days; the dog isn't near as much trouble.

God bless you both, my dear sisters!
