Been a while, how is everyone doing?

I have been neglecting my blog, and there is really no excuse. Life is busy, but still, how hard is it to write a few lines? A lot has passed since my last post, so here is my life in a nutshell (or blogshell, if there is such a thing!).

My fantasy baseball team is in 7th place. I was in first, then third for quite a while. Injuries and the all star break conspired to drop me to 7th and so I think I am out of contention for my second paper trophy. Edie, remember the laugh we had over that when James thought we were going to get a real trophy? He was NOT impressed that it was on paper. Gosh, I am feeling better just thinking about that!

I am cruising right along in my college classes. I could become a professional student with no problem at all! Of course, I still need an algebra class, so that may change. Anyone good with formulas out there who can help me out, when I finally sign up for the class? Thanks in advance!

I am gearing up to teach the young adult Sunday School class in the fall. My term as a deaconess will be over and I feel like the Lord is leading me to this position. One thing I have learned is to not do anything unless He is calling you, otherwise it is a mess.

The dogs are good, check out their dog book on my face book page. The cat is enjoying life as well, they just eat and sleep with the occasional walk thrown in for fun. They are such amazing dogs, and I miss them when I am not home.

Stephanie is hard at work at the Social Security office in Winchester. She is able to use her Spanish some and she finally quit the other two jobs so this is her first weekend "off" in a while. Of course, she is dog sitting, so she really is still working, though it is mainly fun for her in this capacity.

Jim is hanging in there. We were at Johns Hopkins on Friday for a consult with the endocrinologist. He will have surgery there on August 19, as well as some more tests coming up to determine if the thyroid needs to be removed as well. All prayers are gratefully accepted because financially we are still strapped. I cling to the promise of God that "all things work together for good for those who are called according to His purpose." God is also "exceedingly abundantly" able to do so much more than we can envision.

I will end this entry with the promise to myself, and all my fans who wait with baited breath, to faithfully update my blogspot so it won't wither up and die! Thanks for reading, feel free to comment. If I don't know you, I won't post it! :-)
