Silly Debbie and Ellen getting our dinner ready
Oh the birthday feast...Salad and chicken!!! Notice the diet coke cup?:)
Let the Silly Singing begin!!! Happy Birthday ice cream, candles and all!
Alice and I share the same month for our birthdays, mine the 3rd of May and Alice, today the sixth. We meet on Tuesday evenings at Debbie Facklers house for our Cursillo prayer group. Whenever someone celebrate's their birthday we always have dinner together (prepared by the rest of the group) and exchange gifts. We do silly things like Debbie turning on her outside Christmas lights to singing "Happy Birthday" loud, crazy, out of tune like you've NEVER heard before. We then laugh and laugh! This is what birthday parties are supposed to be like, right?

Enjoy the pix!!!!! Thanks girls. DECOLORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
