I hipe this means that you will be blogging more often.  I have missed your insight into spiritual issues.  It must be close to impossible to catch up without reading numerous blogs for each person, so I will give you a quick thumbnail look at my life.  I had a wonderful praise when my youngest daughter, Beth, after much Christian marriage counseling was remarried last August to her husband.  Beth suffers from mental problems due to some very tramatic events in her life.  Their marriage fell apart when her husband just couldn't understand why she couldn't just not allow herself to have problems.  They are doing great now.  This last fall, Beth and I drove to California to visit my mom (now 102 years old) and other family members.  I "cleebrated" the holidays by getting pnemonia, which took quite a bit of time to recover from.  In January Beth was admitted to a mental hospital due to extreme depression.  In the past she had been hospitalized about every 3 months.  This was the first hospitalization since February 2007, so that was encouraging.  She is now doing much better.  She goes to an outpatient program three days a week - down from the five days a week originally assigned when she was released from the hospital.  In February I had cataract surgery on my eyes.  I now do not have to wear glasses for distance, but may have to wear them to read.  They are still improving.  I continue my involvelemtn teaching an adult Sunday school class.  Since my class is composed of older ladies, at any time there are several who are in a hospital, nursing home or sick at home, so I do a lot of visiting.  About a quarter of our class time is spent in prayer and giving praises for answered prayer.  I have just begun a second ministry.  I am now on the breavement committee (there are three of us).  We meet the needs of families when there is a death in the family.  I am looking forward to spring and getting out into the yard.  Take care and God bless your day.
