I am trying to figure out what the deal is. My blood pressure has skyrocked again.
I can't figure it out...I am taking a blood pressure pill, but it is doing nil.
So at 8 am. I am going to head to the Clinic and see if I can get some answers..this time it is making me feel funny...not ho ho funny :) but light headed...I am my Mothers daughter..she had this...and now I do too...

I Can't Begin to Count all My Blessings
Today once again I am reminded of how much God has blessed Everett and I. We headed to Mac about 4pm today...stopped 1st at our oldest son..all 4 of our darling grandchildren there greeted us at at door...Grandma, Papaw look, listen, sit by me let me read to you, one goes and gets her violin and starts playing, one comes and climbs up on my lap...one sits between Everett and I and reads 4 books to us and he is only 4 yrs old...we hear about their day, what is going on...so much love I can hardly take it all in, I am in such awe...kisses and hugs good bye...we head to our youngest son..the boys greet us at the door one pulls me to a room to show me something the other cries out "Grandma come look..."the babies in there seats, eyes light up, smiles on there faces just waiting for Grandma and Papaw to pick them up..I get to feed the babies and we have hamburgers with the rest, get to put the babies to bed....again kisses and hugs..we head to our daughters, there again we are met at the door by our grandson...waiting to share what he has learned and showing us what he has made then we get to watch his tae kawon do form. He is 8 and has his black belt already...a real pro...So many blessings, so much love...so very very precious...there is nothing in this world that I would trade for any of it...again I must thank God for this day and all that He has given me..thank you to all my children for the homes that you have made for our grandchildren!

I have some news
I have 4 full time girls working for me and 2 part time..one of my full time girls is going to have a baby within the next couple of weeks. Now she hasn't been feeling really very good so her time at work has been hit and miss, depending on how she has been feeling..it is a good thing that we are slow..our work due to the economy has been cut in half. God has been good because I haven't had to lay anyone off because in the last 6 months I have had 3 quit..and now the one that is going to have the baby isn't coming back because this is her 3rd...but today as I was working with another young lady we were talking and she said. "Evy I have some news, I am pregnant." I really wasn't surprised because I had read on her facebook that she had a secret...and somehow that was the conclusion that I had drawn that was her secret..I had just put it out of my head, because I didn't really need another one being pregnant...again...but it too, shall all be ok...somehow God always takes care of my needs....and what I maybe don't need...so it will all work out...

Almost a clean bill of health
Everett had his yearly check-up in Wichita today...Good news the heart valve and heart is doing great, the blood pressure not so good...but he got some new medication for that so hopefully that will help..we had a beautiful morning together (I went with him) we walked to Panara Bread for coffee and a bagel afterwards and leisurely headed home..I am so glad when this check-up is over and all is good. 19 years for the heart valve..God has truly blest us..Thank you God!!!

New Beginnings
Yesterday in our church was a group of people plus a pastor from the Recovery Ministries at the New Foundation church from a city near where we go to church.
These are people that are alcoholics and drug addicts. Their testimonies were awesome. Everett and I were talking to one young man of 22 that had done just about everything that was out there to do...he was in a gang, had been involved in a drive-by shooting..stolen a car had spent time in prison...just about done it all..and shared how he had such a void in his heart all this time..he had just about all money could buy from selling...and of course from his habit had been higher than high..and still could not fullfill his inner emptiness that he had deep inside..that was until someone introduced him to Jesus...he has now turned his life around...
Aren't we all addicted to something that we try to fill our lives with?...Maybe shopping (that could be me) maybe eating...maybe exercising, maybe working just making a little bit more money..working so much we forget about our families, our little ones that are growing up so fast....on and on, it might not be something that we put into our bodies that we have a problem with maybe it's something else but none the less we have a problem with it..everyone has an emptiness in them that only Jesus can fill....we are created that way..it was very encouraging to me that there are still those that have reached bottom and have found a new life and that there are those that are so willing to help..we need to keep these in our prayers...

This and That
Haven't had much to blog about lately so let me put down some things that have been going on with me.
After I got over the flu I immediately got a cold..I am just about over that which I am thankful for...
Sunday I had all my family over for a snack night...it was soooo much fun...I have the neatest family...love them all..
Today at work we had a birthday party...one of the part-time girls turns 67 tomorrow..we had chicken noodle soup with mashed potatoes and I made creme puffs..which is her favorite and I think every year she has worked for me..I have made them for her...
The economy crisis is all we have heard about...you know I have lived through many economy crisis...I could write a book..and no I don't want to go back there, but things are happening in this nation I never thought I would live to see...gay marriages, so many having babies w/o bothering to get married...living together...buying everything on credit...not paying back..the BIBLE has a lot to say about all of this..and the great USA has turned away....our hearts are getting hardened because of everything being put on the news there is absolutely no more shame..anywhere...I remember the first divorce that took place here in the small town I live..everyone was shocked...couldn't believe it...thought that it was terrible..now it's just a common thing, no one is surprised anymore..and it doesn't matter who it is, people that call themselves Christians don't even flinch..wonder what God is thinking when He looks down on this...
The sign says "For a Limited Time only"...that is what we all have only a "limited" time to turn from our sinfulness and turn to Jesus...
