Where has the time gone?
I cannot believe that it has been so long since I have posted anything on my blog! Slowly, slowly my desire to blog is returning. I just haven't felt like sharing anything for so long. But as I slowly come out of my deep 'funk' I see God is still working in my life, and is not finished with me yet. Praise Him! So, we will see how this goes. No promises.
Let's see what is new in my life. Well, Pilot and Sarah are now much closer to home. They have left FL and are now stationed in NM. :) Much easier to drive to NM than FL. Pilot finished his "SIM" training (simulator) training on his new plane a few weeks ago. He was up in Toronto for about 5 weeks. The family has had a good laugh because Sarah has actually gone up in the plane for a ride, while Pilot still has not set foot in the actual plane. ;) They seem to be adjusting to their new area and new home just fine. The 2 dogs, Bailey and Oqurrih, have settled in nicely and see to thoroughly enjoy the NM grass as compared to FL's sandy "grass." LOL!
We have been getting ready for winter around our home. I am so sad to see Fall coming to an end. It won't be long till the snow is flying and the cold air has settled in. Our mornings are pretty chilly now dipping into the freezing zone all too often. We have our ski resorts looking to open in a couple of weeks. That is hard to imagine seeing we still had a ton of snow up on our mountains even in July.
I've settled into a new church home finally. After almost a year of searching I find myself starting over with a new family. Pastor James is very convicted about imparting the conviction of "intentionally living your faith." I so agree with that concept. Living in such a way that others see something different in you, and in turn you have an opportunity to share Christ with them.
I guess that's all for now. Hope ya'll come back and visit me soon. :)

Back Home Again...
I am back from attending the Rocky Mountain Dental Convention held in Denver, CO. I was nervous about attending since it was a new experience for me but the Lord calmed my nerves, and I had a fabulous time, along with learning a lot of new things. My dentist, whom I work for/with, is a Christian, and so many of her friends from dental school are too. Along with them, my instructor for all of my lectures was absolutely born again, also! The Lord surrounded me with fellow sisters! Isn't that the neatest?!

Question...
Is there a way to do away with certain words being underlined in one's blog?? And if so, how does one go about getting rid of them? Any help would be so appreciated!!
Inversion GONE!!
Finally!! The inversion is gone. Those of us who suffer from asthma will finally have an easier time breathing. Our air quality has been terribly unhealthy since our last storm. Nothing has been strong enough to move out the dreaded smog...until last night's storm! :D
I kind of equate our inversions to what sin is like. At first one doesn't notice any changes but the longer it goes unaddressed the more difficult life becomes. The smog just sucks your very breath out of you. Sin sucks the very life out of you. For both, one finds it quite difficult to get through the day. But what a difference makes once a storm comes through and cleanses the air! The same thing happens when we storm the throne room, asking forgiveness, and restoring our sweet fellowship with our Lord.

The Removal of "Mother" and "Father"
This is a dangerous direction for our government to follow. It deeply saddens me to see America spiraling downward so fast.
By Todd Starnes
Published January 07, 2011

The words “mother” and “father” will be removed from U.S. passport applications and replaced with gender neutral terminology, the State Department says.
“The words in the old form were ‘mother’ and ‘father,’” said Brenda Sprague, deputy assistant Secretary of State for Passport Services. "They are now ‘parent one’ and ‘parent two.’"
A statement on the State Department website noted: “These improvements are being made to provide a gender neutral description of a child’s parents and in recognition of different types of families.” The statement didn't note if it was for child applications only.
The State Department said the new passport applications, not yet available to the public, will be available online soon.
Sprague said the decision to remove the traditional parenting names was not an act of political correctness.

New Begininng...
Happy New Year everyone! I pray that your new year began on a good footing. I am encouraged to see how the good Lord will work in my life this year. He certainly was active last year all through 2010. From my perspective He may have been over-active! LOL! Not really. He was just very thorough, as He needed to be. In many ways I am still recovering from the pain and hurt, but He has promised that whatever He allows to touch me will bring about what is BEST for me. There is still much uncertainty but I find that is life whether or not you are moving through a trial.
Last year I had to give up my gym membership but I was able to join another gym Dec. 31st! January 1st (and this morning) found me meeting with my new trainer, and then beginning my workout. I am so excited to begin working out again. Especially since Sarah's (our daughter-in-law) sister is getting married around the end of May!
Other new things to look forward to is a new study I am beginning in Colossians and Philemon. I'm really excited about this because it has been quite some time since I've been involved with a ladies Bible study. I look forward to sharing gold nuggets which I gleen from studying God's word.
I have to laugh because my neice, Claire, over at Psalm 127, decided to update her blog, which also brought on my nephew Dan, over at Hotel California, updating his blog. Dan was the first to begin blogging all those years ago, and then I jumped on the bandwagon, followed a few days later by Claire! Claire and I struggled to learn how to post a pic, or how to link to other blogs etc. One of her early blogs mentioned "her intrepid Aunt Claire!" So, you see, I have a reputation to uphold with those youngsters! ;) Anyway, it is done now, for better for worse. LOL!
So long for now!
