On Sunday morning, April 29th, at 12:02 we welcomed in to this world our sweet new granddaughter! She is absolutely amazing.

Caroline Gray joins her brother, Ware, who is starting to get used to this new addition to his world!

Today I feel the undeniable joy of seeing the miracle of God's design in Caroline Gray. How can anyone not believe in God?

When Ware was born I told everyone I had fallen in love with a short, fat, bald guy! Well, I've fallen in love again...this time with a dark haired little angel. Thank you to all that have prayed for her.

I have exhausted my blogging abilities trying to fix the "comment" area of my blog. Other than signing up for a Google account (which is free and doesn't mean you have to start a blog), I cannot figure out how to fix the problem. Evidently I'm not the only one experiencing this since there are many others who are as frustrated as me.

So, now it's time to improvise! Since I want to hear your thoughts and read about your journey's I have set up an email account for that sole purpose. You can email me at: woozisuds73 at hotmail dot com

Now you have no excuse!

Several of you have said you have tried to leave comments after a post and have been unable to do so. After doing some searching, the problem might be a glitch in the system. I have tweaked one thing which might allow you to leave comments. If after leaving one you don't get confirmation regarding that, then try again, this time checking the "anonymous" option. You can always leave your name in the body of your comment. I think things get hung up if you don't have a Google account... but I also think I can diagnosis medical conditions!

I never saw it coming...I am now an addicted blogger. That means I spend way too much time flitting from one blog to another, investigating new links I can add to my blog, thinking about what I can write about next. Great...one more thing to add to my ever growing list of things I need to be disciplined about. Who knew that the phrase "view blog" would give me such a thrill?

On April 5th, a young woman from our church, named Christie, was thrown from a horse and suffered trauma to the brain. She has been in a coma since the accident. Her family is keeping everyone updated on a daily basis so we can be praying for this wonderful girl. Christie is the only child of Paul and Taffney...the apple of their eye. Please pray for this family as they ride the rollercoaster of news and emotion.

As we have shared this request with anyone and everyone, we were notified that through a series of people, the underground church in Wuhan, China is praying for Christie. This means that thousands, yes I said thousands, of Christians in China are bringing Christie's needs before our Heavenly Father. The number of people praying is not as significant as the fact that others in the Body care enough to pray for a stranger. Wow!

We are of course, praying for her healing, but we also want God to be glorified through this. Her parents are faithful followers of Christ. They sent an update yesterday asking us to be praying for several families who have children in the same hospital, in the same brain trauma unit. Can you imagine being in the middle of such difficult circumstances and being sensitive to the needs of others? I must confess a deep sense of conviction over the selfishness that is present in my life more than I care to admit.

God is teaching us all through this.

He is risen just as
He said!

Good Friday. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not die but have life everlasting."

Still on the same road...still pressing on toward the goal of knowing Christ more fully.

Due to boredom with my previous blog format, I have made the switch to "dots"! The good news with this new format is that somehow the links that had disappeared have mysteriously reappeared! "Eliot's" blog continues to stir me. I urge you to read it and view the short movie they produced about baby Eliot.

Following directions has never been my strong suit so trying to make a fancier blog hasn't gone well. Evidently there are certain things that have to be done in a specific order and...well...I just don't follow directions!

Somehow I know there is a direct correlation with my being directionally challenged and my struggle with following the mandates God has laid out in His Word. I would like to tell you that I am a good follower of Christ, but I have this sin nature that keeps popping up...so very annoying. The irony is "my way" doesn't even begin to compare to His. "My way" doesn't satisfy. So, you would think I would get it. I suppose I am in good company. The disciples, who lived with Jesus, often were clueless. However, Jesus chose those 12 uneducated, normal guys to turn the world upside down. I suspect He will use me to do the same when I follow His way and not "my way".

The most incredible thing is that in spite of my fumbling and faltering ways He pours out His compassion on me daily. And even though, more times than I care to admit, I give Him the cold shoulder He promises that He will never leave me or forsake me. I can barely comprehend that kind of grace.
