Moving On

It seemed like such a good idea at the time.

It's been very therapeutic for me. It has helped me to think through and sort out some very complicated issues and feelings in my life. It has introduced me to some great people, many whom I may never had the opportunity to talk with. But, like many things in life it has run it's course - and it is time to move on.

My goal is to be better, to do better, and to love more.
So, for now at least, I am determined to live more and write less.

I hope that you have found something thought provoking and interesting on this blog over the past two years. Your comments and encouragment have truely been a blessing to me.


Psalms 20:4-5 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed
We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all your requests.


I will leave the site up for a while and check in from time to time.

Great News

Jesi's surgery went well. It just took a lot longer than we expected. And there were a few anxious moments. But everything is fine.

Jesi is in good spirits and her school friends have already been up to see her.
Thank you so much for the prayers. We understand that the doctors are talented and technology is amazing, but in our hearts, the glory and the thanks and the praise goes to our God.

He really does see, hear, and care, and answer.

Basket Case

I worked in the Cardiac Cath Lab for almost a year. I have helped put in several ICDs (Internal Cardiac Defibrillators) Though extremely dangerous, the procedure is considered fairly routine.
At least I used to think it was. But now that it's my 17 year old daughter on the table, there is nothing routine about it.

I know the procedure. I know the risks. I would honestly give anything if I could just take her place, but I can't.

Jesi is frightened, but calm. She understands that this is necessary.

Mom and I on the other hand are basket cases. We know from past experience how hard it will be to finally let go and leave her in the hands of the surgeon. The pain you feel after you kiss them and then watch them be wheeled off down the hall on a gurney is unbearable. There is no medicine in the world strong enough to ease that pain.

Jesi's surgery is Thursday morning.
Please keep her in your prayers.
