It’s been an eventful week, with testings, emergencies, people ending up homeless, family members in the hospital, and major health challenges. I must admit that on some of these occassions my first response was not, praise God! But by His Grace, I finally did come to a point of rejoicing and peace. It was a long journey, but all said and done, worth the trip!

Anything that brings you closer to God is worth it.

But it does leave me asking for prayers for the following things, Jim Duffy’s son Dante (and Jim as well, of course), my son Christopher and his fiance Abbie, my health (heart and blood pressure, etc.), that my business(es) all remain God-centered and oriented, my mother’s health (and my father be able to sleep - he is very stressed), my friend Pete’s mother, father and cousins (whose mother died last week, she was in her early 60s) and for God’s continued blessings.

And about the divorce (by His will - not mine).

So much it seems. And in the midst of all that, business continues, I will be changing over the the “Marketing, Social Media and Business” section of this site to a new blog/website in the next week or so. And of course the two other blogs I’m either building or have online. Oh yes, pray for John McDonald’s shoulder and neck, he goes to the doctor tomorrow after needing to delay the original appointment on Monday this week.

Whew!

Be blessed, be loved and be at peace.

   Whew! when it rains……..it really pours!, but as u said that anything that will bring us closer to God is really worth it, and i agree.
   Different folks, different strokes but only one God.
   All i can do is pray with unwavering faith that God is in control no matter what, and at the end of the rope He is there to take over….and sometimes we need to reach that end to let Him take over.
   Good that your divorce will be finally over, mine is not yet…..wwwwaaaaaaahhhh!!! joke!
   How is chris doing now? any update about his medical condition? my heart goes to his fiancee specially of her condition now, but i know it’s harder for you….i know.
   Just hang on………

   God bless you!
