One More Angel In Heaven

"Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his saints. " - Psalm 116:15 (NIV)

I know I'm supposed to be happy when a faithful disciple of Jesus dies because that person is going to heaven, but this article saddens me especially because this woman belonged to our church, and her husband used to as well. Now because of these circumstances, their three children are thrust into the world without there mommy or daddy around. I often struggle with thoughts of what her last moments must have been like. It causes chills to run up and down my spine.

I am grateful for my marriage to Jennie and for having other people involved in our lives to help us. I believe that God is in control and will work this situation out for his glory. Nevertheless, I cannot hide how I feel about the circumstances surrounding my sister-in-Christ's death.

Keeping Yourself Busy In Prison - JOKE ALERT!

Three convicts were on the way to prison. They were each allowed to take one item with them to help them occupy their time while incarcerated. On the bus, one turned to another and said, "So, what did you bring?"

The second convict pulled out a box of paints and stated that he intended to paint anything he could. He wanted to become the "Grandma Moses of Jail". Then he asked the first, "What did you bring?"

The first convict pulled out a deck of cards and grinned and said, "I brought cards. I can play poker, solitaire, gin, and any number of games."

The third convict was sitting quietly aside, grinning to himself. The other two took notice and asked, "Why are you so smug? What did you bring?"

The guy pulled out a box of tampons and smiled. He said, "I brought these."

The other two were puzzled and asked, "What can you do with those?"

He grinned and pointed to the box and said, "Well according to the box, I can go horseback riding, swimming, roller-skating...."

Emergency Room

Yesterday our family made a trip to the emergency room. It turned out to be a long wait for inconclusive results:

Sunday night Jennie was having abdominal and back pain, which kept her from going to sleep. At about 1:30 AM we drove to the hospital. Jennie was admitted at
1:40 AM. About an hour and a half later Keisha and I were asked to go to her room. We waited. And tried to keep Keisha from getting into everything.

Keisha had a rough time waking up, but after about an hour, she was wide awake, as though it was daytime. So there Jennie and I were, extremely tired, trying to keep Keisha from getting into everything in the examining room.

With the pillow Keisha brought I lay down on the floor and tried to doze off. How crazy. No chance of getting to sleep there. Why the long wait, we wondered. I went to the nurses' station and asked what was taking so long. I found out that they needed to do some tests on Jennie to try to uncover what was wrong.

I asked Jennie if she would mind if Keisha and I went out to get a bite to eat. She said she didn't mind.

So Keisha and I got into the car, trying to dodge the freezing rain, and we drove to the ATM and then to White Castle, the closest 24-hour restaurant. Of course they didn't have the Cinnamon rolls we wanted, so we opted for the Cheese danish and Apple danish. We drove back to the hospital parking lot and ate our food, and then we went back inside the ER. Nothing had changed; Jennie was still waiting, but fortunately, she had gotten a little bit of sleep.

I asked Jennie if she would mind if Keisha and I went back to the car and napped. She said she didn't. I told her that the hospital folks could call us on the cell phone if they needed. So Keisha and I went back to the car and fell asleep. At about 5:30 AM Jennie came out, having been discharged and with a prescription in hand.

It all seemed like a waste of time, to have waited so long for something that might as well been taken care of at the doctor's office. But, I guess it's better to be safe.

Jennie and I were suprised that Keisha still wanted to go to school, having had intermittent sleep during the night. But she insisted. I, on the other hand, chose to stay home and take care of Jennie. This came in handy when I go a phone call to go pick up a friend who had just had outpatient surgery. I was able to let Jennie sleep while I picked our friend up. I also was able to see Keisha off the school bus when it was time for her to come home.

In between these times, I got some more sleep. In fact, at about 2:30 PM, I told Jennie I was going to take a nap. I woke up at 8 PM.

It was indeed a crazy day.

Groundhog Day - The Movie

This 1993 movie, starring Bill Murray, is one of my all-time favorites. We're watching it right now, at Keisha's request. Instead of the Academy Awards. At least until Keisha goes to bed.

Local Miami Valley Girl Dies From Being Struck by Hockey Puck

When I heard the news, I couldn't believe it. Perhaps it is because the girl is from the area that it hits close to home (no pun intended).

No More Free Remote FTP

Hmmm...

The updates to my Blogger template don't seem to be going through. FYI, whenever I post something with a headline, I update my Blogger template and republish all the archive pages. For the past few days, the template updates don't appear to be working.

Perhaps this is an early reminder that Geocities is going to halt the practice of allowing free remote FTP's to websites under their domain. Bummer!
