I can't believe it has been so long since I've posted on my blog. These last few months have been a whirlwind of medical issues, doctors, a hospital stay, new medicines and just trying to stay afloat!
I promise to get back in the groove again! We've had over 3700 visitors to this blog since we've started. I guess I'll have to get in in gear again if I want to pass 4000! :-)
After a brutally hot summer things are finally cooling off here in Texarkana. I love fall and hope this weather lasts for a while.
This summer saw the church go through the typical summer doldrums but we've seen things begin to pick up a bit as we come into the fall season. I'm sure my off and on absences due to illness haven't helped our attendance but I'm hoping a new regimen I'm on will get me back in the saddle the way I hope to be. I won't know for another couple of weeks whether it is really going to work but if it doesn't I'm planning on changing doctors. So, prayers appreciated on that.
The family continues to do well. I turn 39 on the 16th, so that means Samuel will officially hit the 2 and 1/2 mark! I can't believe my little man is already 2 and 1/2. Wow does it go by fast! Zachary is continuing his blazing path through high school. He is well on his way to finishing all of his high school curriculum by May of next year. This will mean he graduates at 16. He is one smart cookie! He'll go to school locally at first but if all goes well, he'll be able to move on to a bigger school somewhere else when he turns 18. Mom is just hoping it isn't Harvard or Stanford, they are MUCH too far away! :-)
I'm re-reading my favorite book of all time. It is called "The Problem of Life with God" by Tommy Nelson. It is an easy to follow, easy to read overview of the book of Ecclesiastes. He takes what could have been a dry difficult text and makes it come alive. No other book in my library, and I have over 1,000 books, begins to mean as much to me as this one book. I've given it to friends who are hurting, struggling, or grieving. It has never not helped someone understand that life with God is not always easy but it is always worth it. I hope to share some thoughts from the book as I go along in the weeks to come.
I'll have some new pictures of the family in a few days. Some folks have been badgering me for those. I'll do my best to get back in the saddle as I should! Praying God's best for you and yours.
In His Service,
Micah AKA "The Heavy Revy"
