Update...

There have been a couple of inquiries on the hair thing... There was a little messup with the cut, so I'm going back this Saturday and she will fix it. It will be alot shorter than I wanted to go... I'll explain when I get the pictures.

I hope all is well with everyone. I have a HUGE thing coming up at work, that I do all of the "manual" things for. It's a huge dinner involving about 600 people... I'm getting a little stressed, and it's a week from tomorrow. So needless to say, you won't hear from me till probably the first of October... I will try really hard to post pics of the new cut, but life is super hectic right now... I covet your prayers for my sanity over the next week!!!

Also, there are several people in our church who are not doing well. I can't stress to you enough how important your prayers are. We know God is good, and He will do what He wills is best... But please pray for these people:

• Dennis and Diane Lambert - They have had Lizzy since she was 5 weeks old. She is now 41/2 and they have been trying to adopt her. They have adopted her brother, but have been in court with her.... DCFS came in on Monday and took Lizzy out of her home. The Lamberts are having a really rough time. I don't know all that is behind it, but I do know that this is the family that Lizzy knows. Please Pray

• Connie Gilroy - Has been fighting cancer for years. Things are not looking good. We love her so much, and she is in so much pain. She needs God's grace and mercy to overflow on her behalf. Please Pray

There are many others that I could list, but these two are very crucial right now.

Thank you for your prayers!

God is good, ALL the time!

Hi ya Friends!



I hope this finds you all in the wonderful grace of God! We are so blessed beyond measure! The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want! He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside the still waters!! My cup runneth over!!!! Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever! I was sitting here at work, and those verses keep going in and out of my head, oh the joy we have when we are one of HIS children!



So I have a few pictures to share...


On Opey's birthday, which is the day before mine... Nom, Op, Nae, Phil and I went to Applebee's (one of our fav's) to spend some time together, and wish Opey well on his birthday. I had to share this picture, Morgan and I were texting, and she said... who's with ya'll? So, I sent her this pic. When I went to take the picture, Renee made a funny comment about not liking her picture being taken... lol

If you have ever been out to eat with me, you'll know that I always order water with tons of lemon. (Yes, I make my own lemonade!) Well, in most places, they bring one, maybe two. Yeah, so Applebee's is definately the best at this. Our waiter was awesome.... doesn't it look neat? Everyone kept asking if it was just water... ;0)

So on Labor day, Phil and I went to New Salem and walked around the park that is all about Abe Lincoln. They have the houses and buildings just as they were. I told Phil to take a picture of the only Tavern I was allowed to walk into!!! :) Actually, in those days a tavern was more for a home cooked mean, and a bed to rest. Hardly ever was there liquor involved. Interesting huh?

That's all for now Folks!!! Till next time... Em
