hi shirley,

thank you for your encouraging word's..and as thing's often go, now, my older brother has been air lifted to phoenix late last night, it appear's he has some kind of heart problem..he has alot of fluid around his heart and lung's..he is undergoing a catherization tomorrow morning at 7 a.m...please add him to your prayer list..his name is sam, he is another one of those huge teddy bear type's...yes, it help's so much to have phone's where we can communicate one on one, and the internet, where we can also communicate across vast distances, but there is nothing that replaces that good old fashioned hug that i feel i also need in such a time as this, not so much for myself, but for my mom, and my brother, and the rest of my family that is spread across the U.S.

maybe i am having a weak moment...please keep us in your prayer's.

love janet
