Surgery Update

Everything went well. I will be in a half cast thing and sling for 10 days and no driving. I hope that is all I have to wear this thing. Thank you all very much for your prayers and well wishes. You all are great. He said all looks good after he removed some scar tissue from the nerve and cleaned the bone and burried the nerve. I have been doing pretty good so far, I haven't had any pain meds except for a headache. Maybe it wont hurt that much. Keep your finger crossed. See you all tonight at VBS.

The jest of it ~ This idea came from the book by Larry Smith and Rachel Fershleiser called Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure. The book is a compilation that is based on the story that Hemingway once bet ten dollars that he could sum up his entire life in just six words. His words? For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.
Here are the rules:
1. Write your own six word memoir.
2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.
3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to this original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.
4. Tag five more blogs with links.
5. And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!
My six words: Take care of those you love!
I feel that I am one who tries to take care of others before myself. Partly because I have lost some very important people in my life at a young age and I have tried to make sure that those around me know how much I love them and how much they mean to me, because we do not know how long they will be with us or us with them.

On with the busy Summer

We have now finished our wonderful Gospel meeting with John Daniels from Sevierville, Tn. It was a wonderful meeting and week. It was so busy and I wans't at home much, so I haven't had time to do the daily cleaning and straightening that needed to be done. Since the gas prices are so high the children and I would go to the morning services and then spend the day at my grandmothers or Barry's mothers house until the evening services. This has been hard on my weight watchers plan since I wasn't in controll of what we had for lunch and dinner. I am glad I can be at home now during the day so I can control the meals better and maybe get myself back on track.
The meeting as I said was great and he had great lessons that I believe we could all use in our everyday life. We had great crowds even in the mornings. I think this was one of the best we have had at Adamsville in a while. He kept your attention and made you think, at least he did for me. I needed that and I believe alot of us probably did as well.
Here we jump into another phase of this busy Summer. We are now getting ready for our VBS on June 22-25 or 26th (not sure since we have 4 lessons so far instead of 5) We are working on writing our own lessons on the Parables of Jesus. They are the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the Parable of the Sower and the Soils, The Kingdom is liken unto..., and The parable of the Friend at Midnight. This is tough for me since I have the baby class (3 months-2 years). I have been trying to come up with ideas and I have some great helpers that are working on this as well. We would love for any ideas from you guys if you have any for us. We need ideas of how to write the lessons for that age group and also for handouts and visuals for them. If you have any ideas feel free to let us know or if you want to help(those who go there and will be there especially). I believe it is going to be another great week and VBS, but we have to get busy with it, since it will be here before we know it.
We also have a Sunshine girl project this Saturday to do something for the daddies of the congregation. We are looking forward to this and the girls love to do for others, as you all saw when they gave the Gospel meeting/ coming home day. They really loved giving it away. These girls are great and showing their love for others. Thanks to Carla for heading up this group.
