On a Personal Note. . .

I have tried to be simply a 'relayer of information' here, but now that I know that Rob and Tammy have access to this, allow me a moment to speak directly to them:

Dearest friends -- First, I'm already bawling like a baby reading all of the precious prayers lifted up for Jack. I am so thankful for your faith and the faith and prayers of all of the warriors who are encompassing your family in prayer. I truly mean encompassing -- from New York to California! I know that YOU don't want my cruddy cough and drippy nose in your waiting room with you today, but I am truly grieving that I can't be there with you. (Since we haven't been able to speak on the phone, you don't know how BAD I sound. I told Donnie Carroll on the phone yesterday that you didn't need me around you -- he said, "It doesn't sound like ANYBODY needs to be around you!" Good point. Luv ya, Donnie! :-) I know I am not at all alone to say that you both have been the hands and feet of Jesus to my family on so many occasions, I wanted an opportunity to do that for you. Know that all day today I will be praying for each of you -- the doctors, the nurses, Jack, everyone waiting. I pray that a peace beyond all understanding settles on you. Again, I want so desperately to be there with you, but God wants me here on my knees! I love you both!

And, Tammy, -- this is WAY off the subject and somewhat goes with your scale story. Remember that I wanted to wait until this week to have our pics made b/c I wanted to lose a few pounds first? Well, now I'm just hoping my eyes aren't red and swollen shut and there is nothing dripping out of my nose! God really hates vanity, doesn't he? :-) I miss you so much! Praying lots!
