Prayer

In the last week or so, I stumbled onto a FB site called 'Prayers for Garrett Jones'. Garrett was critically injured in the tornados in AL in April. Not sure exactly where they lived. His wife was killed in the tornado. Early this morning, Garrett joined his wife in Heaven. Garrett's parents lost another son a decade ago from cancer. This family is grieving and and rejoicing at the same time. Please join me in praying for his parents, Frank and Janelle Jones. I believe there is an Aunt Stephanie and maybe another brother named Kevin.  Please pray for this family. This line in the story broke my heart, 'We haven't made any plans for arrangements yet; only that he will be laid to rest beside Jennifer.' I think they were around 25 years old.  This family will need your prayers.

General Stuff

So far, I have been enjoying my time off. I have been doing an extreme cleaning of my house, and I have had various doctor appointments taken care of. I need to have a little work done on my car. It has been REALLLLLY hot. I have still been walking and exercising, although the eating right hasn't been going as well.  My mom is having minor surgery on Friday, so I will have to help her out for a few days.

I wanted to get something down. It's a quote from Coach Chizik after the Iron Bowl this year.

"You fight when it don't look good. You fight when everybody counts you out. You fight when there's NO WAY anybody besides you thinks you can do it. You just keep fighting, and at some point, you are going to win."
I like that quote. It definitely described Auburn football this year. The more things piled on, the more focused they seemed to get.
I like Coach Chizik. I like most everyone on the Auburn staff. I don't know him personally, of course, but he seems to be a genuine person.
Anyway. Just some random thoughts tonight.
