I am so excited.  I bought a ticket today for the Women of Faith event  on Saturday, November 21st!!  It's being held not far from my home and I have been wanting to go to this kind of event for sometime! I so look forward to deepening my walk with God.  Lisa Welchel, Mandesa and Stephen Curtis Chapman and his wife will be performing and/or speaking.  I feel so truly blessed to be able to attend this event.  GOD IS SO GOOD.

We just finished dinner.  I prepared three dinners for the week.  They were meat loaf and mashed potatoes (which we had tonight), hot dog and bean casserole (I know, very unhealthy), and fried chicken breasts (also unhealthy). With the chicken breasts, I can make a variety of dinners.  We can have chicken parm, lemon chicken or chicken with rice.  Having the chicken gives everyone a variety.

Tuesday I am having oral surgery.  A root canal and extraction :(.  I am so not looking forward to it.  If you think of it, please pray it all goes well. 

Last night we were treated to a yummy dinner at http://www.bucadibeppo.com.  My husband helps Ron and Pam with their business computers and they asked us to dinner to thank him.  Two other couples joined us and it was so delicious and fun.  All the rooms are small and cozy that you feel as if you are dining in a quaint restaurant in Italy.  The food is served family style. We had so much to eat; delicious salad (antipasto), crispy garlic bread, Stuffed Mushrooms, and brushetta to start the meal.  For our main course we all shared Spaghetti and Meat Sauce, Veal Marsala, and Chicken stuffed with ham. We finished off the meal with an apple crustine and cheese cake, which was also served family style.  It was a wonderful evening.

I pray everyone has a wonderful, blessed week. 

This is one of my favorite pictures of my husband.  It was taken at the  South Florida Christian Festival.  It was a wonderful outdoor all-day event where many Christian Artists performed.  It was a very hot June day and we continually had frozen lemonade to cool off :).  This is Paul with Anthony Evans the wonderful singer who always shares a Godly message.  Paul was so excited to have his picture taken with him.  We were blessed to hear the group Salvador and many others before the headliner, Mercy Me was scheduled to perform.  Right before they were to come on stage, the skies opened up and torrential rain accompanied thunder and lightening.  They had to cancel the performance and we all left soaking wet after a wonderful day of fellowship. 

UPDATE ON MELANIE  

She is home from the hospital and doing much better.  She may even be out and about soon and able to accept visitors.  Thankfully they were able to give her IV antibiotics before additional surgery to clean out the area.  By the grace of GOD she will not need chemotherapy or radiation. I thank you all for your prayers.
