Confirmation of faith...

Today, I will stand as Sponsor for my nephew

as he is confirmed in our Roman Catholic faith.

I am honored he chose me to sponsor him and

look forward to the ceremony in a few hours.

I have had challenges, some I consider GREAT

challenges, and if I had not had my faith to help

me endure the challenges, my inner soul may

have broken with the weight of those crosses.

I hope that the Lord, Jesus Christ, and the

Holy Spirit enter into Joey's heart and soul and

sustain him throughout his life to be able to

withstand the tough challenges ahead he may face.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy

Spirit....AMEN!

I may post pix later as this will surely PLSOMF!

Here it is...

PLSOYF is officially done.... or is it?

HA! Well in hindsight, I have to admit my PLSOYF exercise;

was successful
could have been more successful with more posts
most of my PLSOMF's had to do with today's image, heavy Dylan, but heck, he PLSOMF!
was a great way to focus some energy during the Lenten season, especially with some of the challenges I had to face
may be continued but I will try to broaden my subjects (It will be hard so let me know if I should just let it come to an end until next year.)

I hope you have had a chance to enjoy some warm spring weather in your neck of the woods. We've had some summer weather the past few days...oh no, I hope Spring has some time to hang around... I love the cool nights and warm (but not hot) days!

The long uphill battle begins...

Referring back to my post about the

St. Patty's Day occurance...

Now that we've crossed the threshold

of his life or death, we now begin the long

uphill (both ways) battle of freeing him of

his addiction.

It's not going to be easy and I don't

know if I am strong enough to make it

through this battle ahead.

He's not at the point where he realizes how

close he came to death. Nor is he at a point

to be willing to do the 'right' thing.

You see, he got someone to bring drugs

to the hospital room and the staff caught

onto it and now have him under 24 hour

surveillance and only immediate family can

go into his room... oh Lord, please help.

I will ask you, as you sit down to

your Easter celebration(s) in the next week,

or your seder table and the following

seven nights of Passover celebration,

to keep him and my family

in your prayers for a full

recovery.

At this spring time of renewal

may he be reborn and be given

a fresh start.

Peace & heartfelt thanks this

Easter Season for your continued

prayers!

PLSOYF X

Hmmmm, I had a dilemma on which PLSOYF
I wanted to write about here today....but I decided to
go with the one that means something to me.

No picture(s) to attach but you'll get the gist
nonetheless.

My groundhog was moved from the CICU last night
to a regular room. He will begin PT today to relearn
how to walk but he was able to hang feet and stand up
(with aid) and sit in a chair for a few hours.

He was not happy with the comfort of the chair
but they used a real meal (said with tongue in cheek)
as the incentive to have him sit up for two hours.

If this doesn't PLSOYF, what does?

We've come a long way...

Here's Friday.

We've come a long way but still have so much farther to go.

Keep those prayers coming and help us get out of the woods.

Thanks!

my youngest son is in critical condition
in th CICU and prayers are welcomed

but I saw him see another day on Earth today.

please say a prayer and ask a few friends to
pray as well. Thanks.
