Still Alive & Kicking
Hello Everyone!
Yes, I'm still alive and kicking. I don't know why I haven't written anything on here for so long. Life's been busy and full.
The summer went way too fast and now the guys are back to school. We did get to take a vacation in July. We went out to CA to visit my biological family. For those of you who don't know, I was adopted as a tiny baby (21 days old) and had a wonderful life. Yet, I always wondered about where I came from, who I looked like and what my family history was. So, in 1988 I searched and found the answers to my questions. I found my biological mother, a sister and two brothers. I also found many aunts, uncles and cousins. My birth mom and siblings, and an aunt, cousins and nieces and nephews - all live out in CA. I had been there twice before, but the last time was 16 years ago.
We had a great time! It's never long enough. I got to see everyone and spend some great quality time together, just hanging out. I also got to know my neices and nephews - some of whom I had never seen in person. They are all great and beautiful and fun and.....Three of them, twin nieces and a nephew, are Kristin's age - so that was special too. This was only the second time we have all been together at one time - so it was a very memorable time.
As I said, the guys are back in school - so that means it's football season. I love football!! As a matter of fact, I just got home from our second game, which we won. 69-14!! WooHoo! We won last week 62-18 - so we are off to a great start. Next week is when the season gets tougher though.
The Lord is still teaching me - I have a lot to learn. I did a Beth Moore Bible study over the summer and that was great too. Right now I am doing a couple different studies - one on "End Times" - for our Sunday School class, and the other one is called, "Fully Devoted - Living each day in Jesus' name". It's really good.
Well, just wanted to check in and say hi. Everyone has probably given up on me and there's probably no one left to read this. But if someone happens to drop by - thanks. I'll hopefully be back more often. God Bless.

Hi Jojo
It's great to see you back at the computer. Let us know how the Beth Moore study went. I've been busy preparing for a new round of BSF classes myself.
Happy Birthday to your Mom (my mother turned 77 on the 27th - she's getting too old to lie about her age). God bless,
Jim

Hi Jim!
So good to hear from you. I was reading some of your most recent entries the other day - but got interrupted and never got to respond. Yes - rap music - and teen music in general is way out of control
My Beth Moore study was awesome. I guess I won't be doing another one for a little while. The study the group started after that one is at a time I work. Oh well - I have a couple to do on my own at home. It is my desire to do BSF after my son graduates. I hear all good things about it but I know the time requirement is unreal!!
Hope to talk again soon!
