Today is one of those days you hoped wouldn't come. Today we are traveling east to bury Rene'. Hope against hope, try as they might, pray as we might, GOD took Rene' home Saturday.

Initially there was going to be a large group of us traveling together from West Texas this morning. Slowly but surely that group dissolved and gradually left in multiple small groups throughout Monday. Tj and Et were going to have one of the longest drives and I talked with them late Monday afternoon. Tj had decided she just wasn't quite up to the trip after her recent knee replacement surgery so Et was going to serve as their family representative. It was suggested that Et split his trip up by staying at our house Monday night and then riding with me and he accepted, so there! If your group moves on without you, form your own! I am thankful that things worked out because I wasn't looking forward to going alone. It will be a long day, down and back.

My work Monday was good for a Monday. It now seems I am on target and while I am bringing past months together on the spread sheets I am also getting the current month info inserted as well. I may be busting butt right now but at some point the pay-off will be sweeet! (Unless I work myself out of a job!). Dividends began paying from my Friday conversation with one of the owners. We began putting pieces together for a prospective project later this year.

FATHER, I ask for safe travel today. I pray for YOUR strength to see the day through. I continue to lift up Rene's family for YOUR comfort. Surround them with YOU. I pray for those needing YOUR physical healing. I pray for those needing spiritual healing. I pray for those suffering from loss. FATHER, YOU know each one of our needs. I ask that YOU fill those needs. I pray for our spiritual family, and for our leaders. Shine Jesus Shine.
