Muppets May Return to Primetime!!!!!!
Joy, joy, joy!!!
I just approved both of your comments (something I do to keep away the spammers & trolls 😉 and feel soooo blessed that you took the time to reply. Both of your replies touched me so much! Thank you!!
Some days I wonder why I write here – it’s so revealing. I guess the bottomline is I want to make a connection! I want to hear that SOMEONE feels like I do or understands me.
Thank you again for letting me know your thoughts – I sooo needed to hear them!

Eric said today that he believes our loss of Josh is something that will always be there – just below the surface and able to come up whenever it gets bumped. This weekend it got bumped.
Saturday we went to another memorial service. Another good friend – an awesome Christian – lost her battle with cancer. I don’t grieve for Nancy – she is much better off – but I grieve for those of us who are left behind. Her husband and her children will always miss her – and time doesn’t help. And knowing that she is with our Saviour doesn’t help. I guess I’m just too selfish – I want them to be with ME!
Then today before Sunday School a new friend wanted us to know that she was working at the hospital where Josh died on the night he died. She didn’t know us then of course, but she started to put things together as she got to know us. She obviously wanted to talk about that night (well, we think of it as morning, but that is how she put it) and we obliged her – but then all during Sunday school I just felt dead. And I realized I’m never going to “get over this”. Time does NOT heal a wound like this. Maybe I’ll get better at hiding the pain – but I better get used to this pain…I think we are going to have a lifelong relationship.
Now I know there will be some who read this post and pity me because I’m not being “joyful in the Lord”. Don’t get me wrong – there IS joy in my life. I’m no longer ruled by this pain. But I’m realizing that ignoring it doesn’t make it go away.
Job 1:21b “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
On a happy note – I got a treat from my new secret pal at church! A gift certificate for JoAnns! What a great pal!! So this afternoon I treated myself to some black microspun yarn and I’m going to knit a stole that I can wear with almost anything and it will be nice enough for church! Bless you Secret Pal – you’ve been a blessing to me!!

I had intended to do this yesterday when I saw it on Theresa’s blog – then again when I saw Roe’s Blog – and when I saw it on Sara’s blog I knew I had no choice! I’m such a joiner!! lol
What you do is google your name and needs – as in “Amy needs”. Here are mine:
1) Amy Needs Help!!! (well, that sure sums it up!)
2) Amy needs a drug-dealer’s testimony to free a teenager wrongfully accused of murder. (Thanking God my life is no where near THAT interesting!!)
3) Amy needs a flu shot – like really really needs a flu shot. (Did my DH write that one??? We were JUST discussing that very thing!)
4) Amy needs to lead an active life (Amen! I’m trying – this 5:30am walking thing is turning out to be better than I thought)
5) Amy needs to either wake up or start getting some extra will-power! (ok, this one just made me laugh)
6) Amy needs to decide if this fits her idea of a good relationship (If we are talking about my marriage – it’s already decided – it’s a good thing! 😉
7) Amy needs a loving, committed family who will provide structure and stability and have the ability to understand her growing process (Amen & Amen!)
8) Amy needs to generate schemas for these documents because schemas are more powerful that DTDs and are the recommended way of describing XML documents. … (huh?!?)
9) Amy needs to hit the sack (well, I’d go, but it’s only 4:30)
10) Amy needs to take off (I kid you not, it was the last thing I found! LOL)
Please let me know if you add your needs to your blog!
