It's been over two weeks since I had a "paralyzing" (well, feels like it anyway) episode....and I go again tomorrow for another round of therapy. Suffice it to say that every morning that I wake up without searing pain is greeted with thanksgiving to the Lord for His sustaining and healing power. I have gone from being close to tears at all hours of the day to feeling optimistic...that in itself is a great gift! Thank you, Lord!

Enough on that....

Willie just came in from doing some mowing here at the church....he has already been busy...done a lot of work in the flower beds here. Looking good, hon! I am busy working on a brochure for LFI....we have a lot of events and ministry opportunities in the next few months, including the launch of HOPE Singers Puerto Rico and HOPE Singers USA. Don't forget to check out our website!

There isn't a lot of news here at the moment, so I thought I'd share a few photos of "the boys" (Zach and Nathan) from their recent family vacation in Gulf Shores. FYI - this Mimi just LOVES getting pictures of grandkids (yes, that's a hint for some of you out there)!

And this was just the first night.....

Two boys enjoying the surf, sand and sun....I'm almost envious!

Mom (Janelle) and her three boys...well, one is still "in progress"....due later this year!

Two freckle-faced special boys...sharing, no less!

See you in a couple of months, guys! But before then we have to make that trip to Va. Beach to love on some other special guys and gals. Would you believe, that between us, Willie and I have ten grandchildren, with the eleventh one due later this year? YIKES....I could either feel very old or very blessed. I choose BLESSED!
