Thoughts


I wasn't sure how to start this blog so I just begin it now. My grandmother passed away a few weeks ago and things have not been very easy. She was a sweet woman and was in real estate for over 20 years in the local Valdosta area. I believe that she would in the top 10 women in the nation! She was fantastic! She was also firm. She was raised in the depression era in rural Alabama. Yeah she knew how to save! I remember once when she invited my wife and I for dinner earlier in our marriage, she had cooked up some corn. There was probably 10 pieces of the corn left in the serving bowl and I was surprised to hear her yell when I started to dump the corn into the trash can "Don't throw it away! That is wasteful!" 

Let's just say I have learned a lesson about waste!

I could write a book on stories about my grandma. She was a dear sweet woman and I will miss her.

I said all this to say that, while this is very personal, I am calling out to my friends and church family to pray for my wife and me as not only do we deal with this huge loss but some 'issues' dealing with this loss. I can not say anything about it but please be in prayer for our family.
