Yep, still alive and kickin'

Just a quick note to let you know that I am indeed still in the land of the living, lest you be unduly worried :) I am very aware of how long it's been since I've blogged...but I can't take the time for a big newsy post most days. Plus I need to download some pictures from my camera, and that takes a bit of time as well. So that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it..haha.

Just to let you know about a little of my busyness....our school Christmas program is a little over a week away. So I am staying pretty crazy with stuff that needs to be done. Next week promises to be pretty incredible, so I would very much appreciate your prayers. There are costumes to be steamed, sets to be put up, programs to be written, etc, etc. It feels a little overwhelming, sometimes a lot overwhelming. But I know God is faithful, and He will help us get it all pulled together. Also, my grandmother has been quite sick with bronchitis, which sounds more like pneumonia. On Sunday night, I found her in the floor at 12:30am. My puppy "just happened" to need to go to the bathroom, so I took him downstairs and heard her. Actually, I believe God had a big hand in it, as she would have laid there 6-7 more hours before being found if Snickers hadn't wanted up. We don't know how long she was down, and she has no concept of time. But we took her to the hospital, and they kept her. She just isn't safe to be at home right now, due to her profound weakness and us not being able to watch her 24/7. She will be going to a nursing home tomorrow for rehab. Hopefully this will be a short-term arrangement, and then we can hire night-time help for when she gets to come home. Honestly, I'm not sure how much longer she will be with us. Please remember my family in prayer during this difficult time.

Well, I must go. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
