God does answer prayers! My daughter was given a good report a week ago from today. Her hip joints are forming, and look good. Jen, and I were thrilled. I left the doctor’s office hooting and hollering.

Tired, I tell you, tired. That is what I am. I should be in bed, but I am a busy dude! Homework, VBS planning, Sunday Night Live planning, being a dad, being a husband. Please don’t misunderstand, I am not complaining, just letting ya’ll know, I am tired.
