Murch Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving for the Murchison's.  For the past 12 years, this family has Thanksgiving on the Sunday before.  The Edward's travel to Balitmore and the JGMurchison's travel to Cullman.  It was a great time for food, fun and fellowship.  All of the kids are getting so big - Wesley (24), Spencer (18), EC (10) CA (9), Miller (8), Leeiii (8). The children drew names for Christmas, we took lots of pictures and ate lots of food.  

I am so thankful for my family. I love my mate! and my mighty men of God (boys).  Father, Thanks for the men in my life, they are all so very very very special, they take great care of me and I love them dearly.  Thanks for my Mom and Dad, who taught me how to love and were a great example of a marriage.  A mom and dad who took me to church to learn about Jesus.  Thank you for my brother, who I will always have so many fond memories from growing up.  I love him with all of my heart.  Last but not least, my sister.  She is my best friend, confidant, boss, sounding board, doctor, counselor, etc.  When we are together - we laugh, cry, shout, pout, hug and talk about whatever is on our mind.  God, Thanks for my baby sister.

 I am especially thankful that Leeiii is doing so great.  God gets all of the praise for such a perfect brain surgery. 

 Leeiii is, was and always will be an angel, a special blessing from heaven.  He is such a strong boy that always has a big smile and will make you laugh.  Thank you Jesus for this precious little miracle.

Choctaw County

Today I talked with the social worker in Choctaw County, Alabama.  We were mapping out the delivery of meals for Thanksgiving to several families next Tuesday.  Kesha has been such a blessing to the people of Choctaw County.  She is always helping these families with every day life.  She is being used by God to help the poor.  She is the angel who has been sent to see the needs of the people in this community.  I am so thankful that we can be a part of this process. Lord, go with us to this community and help us to show Your love and compassion for those in need.   We thank You so much for the abundance of food that we can share.

Dressing Day

Today is Dressing Day.  Mom and I will be making Thanksgiving dressing for our family and 4 families in Choctaw County, Alabama.  Mucho cornbread, loaf bread, celery and onions.  This dressing is a recipe that has been handed down from my paternal grandmother.  It is SOOOOO delicious and it could be the only thing on the menu as far as I am concerned.  

A small group Bible Study will deliver Thanksgiving Dinner to 4 families in Choctaw County next Tuesday.

ARRESTED!!!

A 16 yr old boy has been arrested in sending the ransom letters.  He told police/FBI that he wanted a computer and a car.  This is not the first time he has sent out letters with threats.  We are not sure how he came to send us or the others a letter.  The authorities think that the letters were mailed and not hand delivered. We will pray for this young man to come to know Jesus!

RANSOM!

I received a phone call from my sister an hour ago!  A letter was in their mailbox - 80K dollars by next Friday or harm will come to you and your family.  I can not believe what I am hearing.  The letter was stamped with no postmark, addressed to her husband, stapled, with an address to deliver the money and strict instructions not to go to the police.  This has our family on edge to say the least......

Heavenly Father, protect our family and be with this desperate person as You go before us.

Thanks RITA!

This is Rita, she was previously homeless and living at the Bethany Home in 2005.  

We became friends.  We are having so much fun at the beach.  My friend, Rita, won this trip on ABC 33/40 and it is her first trip to the beach in over 10 years.  Sun, surf, seafood and sleep have been on the agenda. We all decided to travel very light and inexpensive, but we have been to Publix everyday. Lord, Your creation is so amazing and beautiful!  Thank You for letting us enjoy it for a few days.
