Sorry about the lack of postings!

We had good intentions with this summer but due to unfortunate situations we have had to delay some of the events. We will be trying to schedule the Great America trip soon. I would like to do this before the soccer season starts.

First things first...

About two weeks ago I went to the doctor because my knee hurt. Well..... It seem that since I am going to be 40, my body has decided to show signs of getting older. On July 22, I will be having knee surgery to fix my torn minicus. Which was undoubtedly cause by our weekly event, the Grog. While in surgery they are going to see what they can do about the mass of arthritis in every part of my knee.

Then on May 31, I received a call from my sister's husband. My sister had been put into Northwestern hospital because her MS was acting up. As of today, she is at the University hospital intensive care unit. She is not responding and has spiked a fever. The Dr.'s fear that the MS has attacked the part of her brain that control motor functions. But until they can confirm this we will just have to wait. Please pray for her.

But what I have learned through all of this from losing my Dad, my brother having heart and health issues, and now my sister, that God has His plan. Maybe His plan was to bring the family closer together. Maybe my sister has a bigger health issue and these doctors will find it. Maybe it is just a reminder that we are God's people and we do not have control.

One thing is for sure. That I have truly put all my faith in God. I know that each hurtle that I jump over another one will be there. But as long as I look toward God for my answers and live my life for Him I can never go wrong.

God Bless.
