Gary V -

So glad to hear your good medical news, and would only expect such good news for such a wonderful person like you.

Kevin K -

Give yourself a few months to see if you don't enjoy a new pace of life. And enjoy your break if you do decide to keep working part time.

Hey all,
I just received a text message from our sweet Marian. She asked me to let you know they moved her mother to St. Lukes Hospital last night, she is still stable, they just wanted her in a different location. Marian also asked that I let you know she appreciates and loves each of you for your prayers surrendered on behalf of her family and especially her mother.

Happy Birthday Nancy!!! Hope you had a wonderful day!!!!

Judy...you can steal from me....yipppppppppeeee shows our happiness!!!!

Carrol....try dropping weights on your toe!!! Ouch! Someone told me to start lifting weights again to tone after losing so much weight! He said tear those muscles....felt like I ripped my arms right out of the sockets! Think I picked up too much weight!!!

OMG...sugar is on my mind!!! I saw this red velvet cheesecake at Cheese Cake factory, but I didn't eat it! I am waiting for 40 pounds, and then I am going to chow that cheesecake! I appreciate your prayers...DEAR GOD keep me strong!!!!!

Well....Me and the family are headed to Playa del Carmen for Thanksgiving! We have decided that this being the 10th year since Randy passed away on the night of Christmas that we will have some "crazy" fun for the holidays! I miss him so much, but really don't like to think about it...makes me cry! I can still hear his voice...what a man he was! Thank you GOD for giving me such a great man!

Marian....I was with my family tonight. My son Randy, and his wife Katy are a little down so I took Miss Jolie and them to dinner. I am so sorry that you are feeling bad, and you go home and rest up this weekend as much as possible. When you are stressed it really affects your health, so you need to be very careful...take your Vitamin C and echinesia...this is misspelled! Take good care, and I will call you tomorrow to check on you as you go home!! We will catch up the next time you come to Austin, Okay? Love you girl! Praying for you and your Mom, and please let me know her tests results, and what prayers you need!

GOD bless you all...sweet dreams!
Love,
JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :0)

Glynn Irby After NOT visiting the Message Forum for a couple of weeks, I suddenly recognize today there were some favorable notes last week about my posted art photography. Although I’m a week late, thank you for the nice comments, and thank you, Janice, for posting the reference note.

Hey Judy!

Thanks for posting the note regarding the anniversary of Keith's homecoming. He was the greatest guy and I know he is enjoying every blessed moment of his eternal reward. May you and all of his loved ones be blessed with joy, peace and comfort in his absence here. Let's all thank God that Jesus has prepared a place for us with Him and that there will be an incredible reunion in heaven! God bless you Judy!

Thank you Gary. Yours words and expression mean so much. I know he is where we all ultimately want to me. Selfishly, especially for his children, I regret he left us at only 47 years of age. Thanks again, Gary. I wish I lived close to your church. I would be a member.

It seems like its been forever since I visited the forum and I missed it. Carrol, what can I say. Girl you are too funny. Those dancers were just what I needed. I'm still laughing and I haven't done that in awhile.

Great news, momma is back in Lake Jackson at the Plantation. I have never seen such a strong woman like her EVER! She had a heart attack and pneumonia and with all your prayers, she is bouncing back. My family thanks all of you and love you. You all helped Missy, my oldest daughter, go thru surgery (no cancer) and have been in prayer for momma. What would I have done without all of you???

I had a great visit with Colleen while I was in Austin last week. Love you Girl!

Joy, we will get together soon.

I really miss you all and have not heard if we are going to have a holiday get-together. What's the status???

I hope to make Andy's breakfast.

Carrol, you bring so much happiness to our class. We are blessed to have you as our classmate!!!!!

Have a peaceful sleep. Love and blessings, Marian

I'm glad y'all are enjoying the silliness. I am easily entertained. Does anyone else find themselves grinning back at Glen Jones while he is dancing? His joy just looks so real!

Marvin....very kind words! Thank you so much for your encouragment, and for reminding us all to realize how blessed we are to be ALIVE, and to thank GOD for our many blessings! Thank you...love what you wrote!!!

Tonight I attended a social...fundraiser for a man that is 47, and dying from a brain tumor...glioblastoma multiforme...the very worst. Many people came together for this fundraiser to help this man and his family. We all will face the worst times of our lives, and me promise to pray for each of you. GOD hears our prayers, and will surround us with his loving children to see us through. GOD was so GREAT to see Randy and I through the worst times of our lives. I have been there, and I will be there praying for each of you. If you know me...then know one thing, "I love you." I guess right now I am remembering the sad times as you know my husband passed away from brain cancer. When you suffer, and have gone through the valley of death...you can truly love and have compassion for others. I met so many people at the social...they all want attention and love...to be validated. One lady was so lonely, and about to leave, and I could tell she was sad. A few kind words just to let her know I care, and to please come back made her feel so happy...

Okay....I am back!!!! I am happy....and Carol your videos are hilarious! I have laughed so much...still am!
Thanks...I love to laugh!!!!! Did ya'll know that about me?!!!

I miss you all, and think about the great people at BHS everyday!
Take care, be well, eat good, get plenty of rest, exercise, stay on your health programs!!! This is the MOM in me!
GOD Bless you with love, peace, and laughter!
Love you,
JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :0)
