But I also want him around for a long time. I do think that he learned a big lesson because it's taking him so long to bounce back after the other night. But pray that that 'lesson' doesn't throw him into some sort of a depression.

I really do appreciate your prayers! It means alot to me.

Good night.
Weeell, I have heard it somewhere that men can be stuborn at times.
I will pray that God not only touch and help him, but also remind him that being around for some more years is more important.

This is just a thought, is there not some of his buddies, or the fire chief that you could share your concerns with?

I am serious! I will pray a blessing down for you, just put your request in, cuz that is what you will get!

Praying!

Lord Bless!

Ron

ROFL pleaseeeeeee dont say pink!!! There is this horrendous (sp) pink house out there thats for rent.. its a 2 bdrm and I so dont want to go there! its scarey!!! It honestly just looks creepy!!!

Ok what do I wish?

First and foremost!!!!!!!! HEAT!!!! AND AIR!!!!!! not at the same time!!LOL

I would love to have a 4 bdrm that we can afford and would like for it to have a garage for storage so I dont have to keep my storage unit... I would love a picket fence but I havent seen many of those out there... would like for it to not have to be in the city area but more on the outskirts (not being picky but you asked...lol)

Honestly I will take anything...


I am just laughing right now because I dont know that I will find a thing but I told Rob to be ready to go look at our new house by the time he got off work tomorrow night... he goes huh??? You already found it... I said nope not a chance but I will by 6 tomorrow night when you get off work... he said ok I will be at the hotel by 630 and we can go LOL (God I am sure glad that man has so much faith in me cuz I sure dont!!!!LOL) So we will see what happens.

I will have my laptop with me so if for some reason I do find this wonderful Praying for a Ginormous, Wonderful, Awesome, Tearspilling, Custom made blessing I will sure let you all know!!!!

And as for the feeling better part not really but I am just tired of being stuck!!! So I am gonna go find something if I have to drag someone out of their home and inform them I am moving in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now on the other hand pray for Rob... this man who has been causing him problems had the nerve to come up into his little drillers shack today and get in his face... thank goodness his boss was there too... he looked at rob and said... now cant you make this machine go any faster... Rob ignored him (it was going as fast as it could without killing anyone) and he asked again... meanwhile Robs face was turning blood red and fists were beginning to turn white his boss said... Rob ignored again... so he yelled it one last time... Rob jumped up out of his chair (this automatically stops the entire rig from working at all as its seat sensored now so if he stands up the whole thing lifts 5 ft off the ground) and got in the mans face and said fine you just figure out how to drive this all by yourself and good luck and walked out... The man sat down in the chair and called his boss and asked how... his boss chewed him up one side and down the other and told him if he didnt find Rob and apologize he would have no job!!! ROFL

He literally walked a mile to go across the location without walking by Rob after that... him is skeeered right now and honestly has good reason... LOL

These type actions made 4 people drive in from houston this morning to chew him out and inform him he was on employee probation because of the threats he was throwing at Rob the last week.... And I thought I had drama!! LOL

Let's believe together.

Sweet Pea,
It sure has been nice to see you here. You are a big encourager!! I like that!!! Stick around a while

Rhoni,
Keep holding tight. And when you need strength, here we are. That's our job right now - holding up your arms (like with Moses!) GOD has a victory ahead for you.

And Ron, tell us about the new/used car that God's providing. I just know it's happening. Can't wait to hear the report.
I think you are probably correct...I did have her email also and send a note off to her today, but if she can't get to work she won't get it. I too have her sail mail...so if when I return next Monday we have not heard from her I will also send her a card or something...I will check because I may have her phone number too...

Night before last, our fire department got called at 2:00 am to a house fire. The cardiologist and the vascular surgeon and our family doctor have all told Walt he could NOT go to another fire call. (he's the assistant chief here in our town, but it's a volunteer position). He could stay on the department, but only to do paperwork and maybe to run the radio at the station occasionally.

So what does he do when the house fire call comes in? He jumps up, gets dressed and promises he will only run the radio. When he finally gets home at 7:00 am, I ask if he stayed at the station all night. And he sheepishly tells me that he did go to the scene. But only to take out coffee and water for the guys. And to give some technical advice. PLEASE!!!! Does he think I'm stupid?? That's one step away from grabbing a hose and running inside!!!

And then, to make matters worse, he decides later in the day that he should shovel the sidewalk going to our back garage!!! Another thing all of the doctors have given strict orders he is NEVER to do!!!!

Well, now he's "not feeling really good". DUH!!!!!!!

and on top of that, he took Monday off work because he was too tired from the fire call to go in. And he took today off because they predicted a major snowstorm (which didn't get here until late this afternoon/early evening). And now he's not going in tomorrow because of the Level 2 snow emergency. Good grief!! What're we supposed to pay bills with???

But see I can't say anything, because I don't want to upset him and cause his blood pressure to go up.

So all I can do is pray!!! Help me pray, will you? This is the man who came so close to death in May and then God restored him. But he's got to do his part now. I need him!! I want him around to help raise our boys! Pray that he gets his head on straight. I know that sounds funny, but I'm serious. If he keeps doing stupid stuff like he's done, I'm afraid we'll lose him this time.

Thanks so much!!!! This is by far, the best thread on this whole forum I just love you all!!

Margie I know how hard this must be for you, but think Sis what it must be like for him...a man I identifies so totally with his job...it really is hard for him to let it slip away...going to the fire was probably healing for him in many ways...shoveling the walk...NO NO>>>big time...how old are your boys have them do it...

In the mean time yes I will say prayers for you....


We are NOT tired of hearing from you...NO way....keep us posted sis!
