2010 is starting off pretty much like all of 2009: potential disasters where ever we look. At them moment I am watching Ty play video games
because Doni and Jim are in the hospital with Tori. They have been there since Wednesday and will likely stay through the weekend. Her bladder would not empty and her blood count is off and they don't know why. Most likely a virus but they are checking carefully for any possibility. I could give a quite lengthy list of family woe's that would include the loss all or partial income, home
for closures, significant health risks, totally unfair and even corrupt legal issues (not including the questionable speed camera pictures they so kindly send). If there was ever a reason to panic, complain or worry, this is it. I suspect since NOT ONE of my family is unaffected, you are not either. I have know idea what this year will bring so I have resolved to stand on the one thing I can be sure of. I know that God loves me, my family and my friends as much as he loves JESUS and He promises to do only the best for me (Romans 8) and that his plans are irrevocable (Rom 11). What else do I need to know? It is the only truth I can count on. I have panicked my way through these times in the past and God always came through as promised. This trip I plan to treasure in my heart all those things that I don't understand and Trust God to fulfil His promises to me and my loved ones. He doesn't have to prove anything to me anymore. He already has. I choose to live 2010 as a BELIEVER!

Amen and amen - I'm gonna "believe" with you :) Thanks for walking through the path with us.
Well said cousin -- well said. I like your position in all this. I would, however, nudge you just a tiny little bit more in the direction of optimism. I remember your parents and mine facing the uncertainties of their time with confidence -- a belief and a hope that God gave them and they in turned shared this with hundreds of people for God's glory and the furtherance of His Kingdom.
Amen dad, me too!
Ditto the AMEN AND AMEN. Note to Ray: That WAS optimistic hee hee.
