Trials and tribulations are mandnatory, misery is optional.

In December John was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The range of emotions that we're going through is immense! Shock, denial, anger, sorrow, overwhelmed, hopeful that things will get better, grateful for our faith in God's plan for each of our lives-that no matter what happens, we'll be okay and that brings us peace. We've been to several doctors and heard every scenario for treatments and cures that exist. We are still in the process of wading through all the information in order to make the best decision for John. Trying to act like nothing is wrong is helpful to the point that it keeps my spirits up, but when it comes right down to it, this thing is all-consuming for us. We feel the love and strength of faith from our family and friends through your prayers and want to thank you. We know we are in the Lord's hands and there is no other place we'd rather be!

That's a good one!

Here is a conversation that I just had with Brooklynn:
Brooklynn,"I didn't know Jesus was a carpenter."
Me, "You didn't?"
B, "I didn't even know they had carpets back then! I can't even imagine Jesus putting in carpets."

Would you rather...

Would you rather shovel snow in 10 degree temperatures or sip lemonade and swim in your pool in 110 degrees? HeHe Susann!:)
