Our group members seem to be diminishing, church leadership doesn&#8217;t seem supportive, and Lou &#038; I have been trying hard to convince one or two leadership folks to attend an inspirational mercy conference&#8211;no one yet is able or willing.<\/p>\n<p>A friend has serious health problems &#038; will begin treatment once again in April. <\/p>\n<p>My father in law is slowing fading away with congestive heart failure. How is my mother in law dealing with this??<\/p>\n<p>Skye is doing well with her App. studies, but hasn&#8217;t made girlfriends yet&#8230;..<br \/>Hurray that she&#8217;s coming home this weekend:)<\/p>\n<p>A neighbor is having anxiety attacks, feels guilty she&#8217;s quitting her &#8216;mercy&#8217; profession after 32 years, &#038; doesn&#8217;t know what to do next&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Another neighbor is sad because her mom is so distant; it breaks her heart.<\/p>\n<p>Would love to travel some place fun for our 40th anniversary, or my 60th birthday, in 2009. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve asked my family to help me paint\/put up crown molding in my bedroom as my Mother&#8217;s Day gift:) They&#8217;ve agreed; I&#8217;m thankful:)<\/p>\n<p>My brother came to have lunch with me recently:) Made my day! And to top that off he wants to come again&#8211;made my day again:)<\/p>\n<p>Will I ever learn not to judge others?<\/p>\n<p>Could I ever stamp gluttony out of my life? Do I possess any discipline??<\/p>\n<p>Finished &#8220;The Shack&#8221;. Still chewing on that one.
