My mother in law is coming into town Thursday. The house is not mother-in-law ready, by any stretch. But the whole world comes to a halt when someone you love passes away. We have lost another beloved church member. That is 3 in the past year. Barb was diagnosed with ovarian cancer about 4 months ago. 2 months ago they told her she had 2 months to live. And she passed away exactly when they said she would. She was stage 4 when they found the cancer and it was more than far too late. Tomorrow evening will be spent at the visitation and I've already arranged to take half the morning off Thursday morning for the funeral. Our church is just so incredibly sad. I still miss Wanda. Every time I think about her spunk I have to hold back tears. Many times I don't hold them back. I feel my eyes welling up just thinking about her right now. I miss her incredibly in fact. Larry, her husband, seems to be a shell of what he used to be. There is an incredible sadness about him. His daughter has been coming to church with him.

Brannon and I talked about baptism a little bit tonight. If he could give me one gift, it would be that he would become baptized. The baptism of course wouldn't be for me, the comfort of the fact that he was baptized would be the gift.

It's after 10 already. I have been getting up far too late in the morning, and me burning the candle at both ends won't help. I have been so good about getting the right amount of rest, I hate to start being careless now. I'll end with a God Bless and please keep our church family in your prayers as we say goodbye to yet another sister in Christ.
