Tuesdays off

I got to sleep in again today. Hooray, then went out for coffee with my Dad and lunch with both my parents. Got some books with a birthday gift card. The new Clive Cussler and a newish J.A. Jance. Just finished reading Marley & Me nd I really enjoyed it. Made me remeber lots of things about the dog I put down a few years ago. It makes me cry everytime thinking about it. My three current dogs are flaked out on the couch waiting for me to finish and go play outside with them.

My young cousin has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes this week. A very upsetting time for his parents and the family. On the plus side, this is a manageable disease if you eat right and are dilligent about blood testing, but it is still a blow as he is only a young child. But we are blessed to be in a part of the world where treatment is up to date and there are so many resources available. I have added this family to my prayer list. While they are not believers the power of prayer can do so much. I have seen it in many areas of my life and in the lives of those around me.
