The Luau
Thank you all that came to celebrate buggies b-day. It was awesome!!!! The pig turned out great (we named him Wilbur). It was pretty scary taking him out of the ground after 10 hours and hoping it was good, but it was fabulous. The day was filled with every emotion that you can think of. Family, new friends, old friends................ Great day. Myles and mine love and appreciation goes out to our family that came from out of town. It was truly a wonderful well needed Ganley reunion, I wish that we got to spend more time with them and have them get to know Myles a little more, but life is good. We think that it was good that they all got together. There was over 300 pictures taken and we will be posting them soon. Hope you all enjoy, and thank you again for all your love and support through our times of hardship and celebration. My love especially goes out to the people that came to the party that "really know" what we have been through, it is pretty much unspoken what we have to go through every day that we don't reveal to everyone. It was so comforting to meet people and moms that have been there and have survived. I pray that we survive all this as well as they have. The pictures are on there way!!!!!!

Watch and Pray
Monday, May 28, 2007
“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”
Mark 14:38 NIV
“Watch.” They don’t come any more practical than that. Watch. Stay alert. Keep your eyes open. When you see sin coming, duck. When you anticipate an awkward encounter, turn around. When you sense temptation, go the other way.
All Jesus is saying is, “Pay attention.” You know your weaknesses. You also know the situations in which your weaknesses are most vulnerable. Stay out of those situations. Back seats. Late hours. Movie theaters. Whatever it is that gives Satan a foothold in your life, stay away from it. Watch out!
“Pray.” Prayer isn’t telling God anything new. There is not a sinner nor a saint who would surprise him. What prayer does is invite God to walk the shadowy pathways of life with us. Prayer is asking God to watch ahead for falling trees and tumbling boulders and to bring up the rear, guarding our backside from the poison darts of the devil.
Myles,
I'm glad your weekend was a success! I'm glad that you were able to celebrate your life with many. That's awesome. Please know that I will, as I have, continue to pray that God cradles in in his Goodness.
Much love,
Aunt k8
Myles, Sherry, and Aaron...
So glad to hear that Myles' party went well. I thought of you all several times throughout the day, hoping for everything from great weather to great company, and lots of fun! Reunions can be filled with many emotions anyway, but this one was clearly more than just that. It was, as Sherry has said, a "celebration", and I am so happy that you could all celebrate together. I'm looking forward to seeing those pictures!
Love and prayers to all,
Kathy
Hello everyone,
I am home after a great time with all of you. You put together a great party Sherry. You are a great hostess. Myles looked great. He plays with the other kids as if there is nothing wrong with him. That is supper. I wish we lived closer so the kids could be with him.
Love you all way too much,
Cecelia
What Will You Bring?
Tuesday, May 29, 2007
“If we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins, because we can trust God to do what is right.”
I John 1:9
In order for the cross of Christ to be the cross of your life, you and I need to bring something to the hill.
We have seen what Jesus brought. With scarred hands he offered forgiveness. Through torn skin he promised acceptance. He took the path to take us home. He wore our garment to give us his own. We have seen the gifts he brought.
Now we ask, what will we bring? . . .
Why don’t you start with your bad moments?
Those bad habits? Leave them at the cross.
Your selfish moods and white lies? Give them to God. Your binges and bigotries? God wants them all. Every flop, every failure. He wants every single one. Why? Because he knows we can’t live with them.
Myles and all . ..
looking forward to all the pictures. I understand Celia has a great video. Can't wait to see it.
Much love to all,
Aunt k8
This weekend was a lot of fun! The party went amazing and it couldn't have been done without the help of AMAZING AND STRONG people. You guys are so strong out there and I admire that. I am so glad I got to meet little Myles, he was too much fun and I'm glad I got to spend a little more time with him before I left. Hopefully, Deirdre and I can make it out this summer to hang out with him again.
I'm praying for you guys!

Each Day Matters
Wednesday, May 30, 2007
“You were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of God.”
I Peter 2:9
Let’s spend a lifetime making our heavenly Father proud.
Use your uniqueness to do so. You exited the womb called. Don’t see yourself as a product of your parents’ DNA, but rather as a brand-new idea from heaven.
Make a big deal out of God. Become who you are for him! Has he not transferred you from a dull, death-destined life to a rich, heaven-bound adventure? Remember, “You were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of God.” And do so every day of your life.
With God, every day matters, every person counts.
And that includes you.
Myles and all,
This is a great devotion. Love it. Hope all is well, and you've recovered from your busy weekend.
Much love and prayers!

Imitate Christ
Thursday, May 31, 2007
“Live a life of love; just as Christ loved us.”
Ephesians 5:2 NIV
Long to be more loving? Begin by accepting your place as a dearly loved child. “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us” (Ephesians 5:1-2 NIV).
Want to learn to forgive? Then consider how you’ve been forgiven. “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32 NIV).
Finding it hard to put others first? Think of the way Christ put you first. “Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God” (Philippians 2:6 NLT).
Need more patience? Drink from the patience of God (2 Peter 3:9). Is generosity an elusive virtue? Then consider how generous God has been with you (Romans 5:8). Having trouble putting up with the ungrateful relatives or cranky neighbors? God puts up with you when you act the same. “He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked” (Luke 6:35 NIV).
Myles,
This is my desire for all . . . to be more Christ-like. Wouldn't that be awesome. It's as simple sometimes as . . .just choosing 'nice'.
You are loved, and prayed for . . .

Good Morning everyone,
We have another big weekend; this one is not going too spent in airports though. Marie has a jump rope competition. If anyone has seen the movie "Jump In” that is what she will be doing in Woodbridge, VA. Then Brian and Marie will be playing their last football games for the season.
School is almost over and I don't know who is more excited, me or the kids.
Myles, I am and was amazed as to what all you can do and that you don't let anything hold you back. Continue doing it all and don't let anyone tell you You can't.
I love you way too much and can’t wait to see you soon.
Have a great weekend,
Love
Cecelia
