Just saying, "Hi"

This is something that I really look forward to, posting and reading all of the blogs of friends and family.
I'm here in Fla.. I left home last Monday and have had a good rest. Such a good rest that when Victor and I were scheduled to leave on Friday I, with some encouragement from my hubby,decided to stay here a bit longer. I had to think about it for a few minutes.Really, I surprised myself by saying "yes" and thought that it was a good idea. Good idea for a little more rest but today I have found myself missing everyone. How do people get along without family and friends. Thank God that I do not have that problem.
It's almost election day....tonight Victor and I were invited to Tom and Angie Hayes house to say the Rosary with the Rosary cell that meets regularly. I'm so h appy that Victor went and he rode with Bobby Cox. I asked them to mention my intentions and that I would being saying the rosary here, which I did. It was such a special time for me as I prayed on our balcony and marveled at God's awesome power and blessings. Please pray, please think long and hard as you cast your vote and remember as we say in the Cursillo movement....."Christ is counting on you" and we respond, "And I on Him"
It is our responsibility as citizens and Christians to vote....Remember Nov.4th!
Signing off, just wanted to say "hi."
Life is good.

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..
