Aaron has created a new blog for my need of wanting to express "other stuff". I will continue to update this blog regarding Myles, our ranch, our life. There are so so many wonderful people who care about not only Myles but our family and we love you all. Here is the website for my other stuff regarding my/ours life, my opinions, what I have learned and am still learning.

Dare to Dream
Tuesday, September 04, 2007
“God can do things that are not possible for people to do.”
Luke 18:27
God always rejoices when we dare to dream. In fact, we are much like God when we dream. The Master exults in newness. He delights in stretching the old. He wrote the book on making the impossible possible.
Examples? Check the Book.
Eighty-year-old shepherds don’t usually play chicken with Pharaohs…but don’t tell that to Moses.
Teenage shepherds don’t normally have showdowns with giants…but don’t tell that to David.
Night-shift shepherds don’t usually get to hear angels sing and see God in a stable…but don’t tell that to the Bethlehem bunch.
And for sure don’t tell that to God. He’s made an eternity out of making the earthbound airborne. And he gets angry when people’s wings are clipped.
WOW, I'm not really sure how to reply to the last blog . . . I'll have ponder on the contents. Please know, it doesn't change my prayers for all . . .

Dear Sherry,
I don't have to read the blog to know when to pray extra hard for your boys. This past weekend They both have been weighing heavily on my heart. God will do the right thing. Trust in the Lord.
We talk to our kids about what will happen to them if/when something should happen to us. We as parents only do what We feel are the best things for our children. Yes, Aaron has stepped up to the plate for Myles for years.
Love you all,
Cecelia
How cool is this:
HANDY LITTLE CHART
God has a positive answer:
YOU SAY GOD SAYS BIBLE VERSES
You say: "It's impossible" God says: All things are possible (Luke 18:27)
You say: "I'm too tired" God says: I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28-30)
You say: "Nobody really loves me" God says: I love you (John 3:1 6 & John 3:34 )
You say: "I can't go on" God says: My grace is sufficient (II Corinthians 12:9 & Psalm 91:15)
You say: "I can't figure things out" God says: I will direct your steps (Proverbs 3:5- 6)
You say: "I can't do it" God says: You can do all things (Philippians 4:13)
You say: "I'm not able" God says: I am able (II Corinthians 9:8)
You say: "It's not worth it" God says: It will be worth it (Roman 8:28 )
You say: "I can't forgive myself" God says: I Forgive you (I John 1:9 & Romans 8:1)
You say: "I can't manage" God says: I will supply all your needs (Philippians 4:19)
You say: "I'm afraid" God says: I have not given you a spirit of fear (II Timothy 1:7)
You say: "I'm always worried and frustrated" God says: Cast all your cares on ME (I Peter 5:7)
You say: "I'm not smart enough" God says: I give you wisdom (I Corinthians 1:30)
You say: "I feel all alone" God says: I will never leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5)
PASS THIS ON. YOU NEVER KNOW WHO MAY BE IN NEED
The first sentence is pretty powerful!
God determines who walks into your life....it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go."
I need this back. If you'll do this for me, I'll do it for you....
Father, God bless all my friends in whatever it is that you know they may need this day! And may their life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have a closer relationship with you. Amen.
Now send it on to five other people, including the one who sent it to you. Within hours you caused a multitude of people to pray for other people. Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life.
P. S. Five is good, but more is better, who else do you know that needs prayer.
Make it a Wonderful Day!!
Heaven Knows Your Heart
Thursday, September 06, 2007
“Naked a man comes from his mother’s womb, and as he comes, so he departs.” Ecclesiastes 5:15 NIV
Think for just a moment about the things you own. Think about the house you have, the car you drive, the money you’ve saved. Think about the stocks you’ve traded and the clothes you’ve purchased. Envision all your stuff, and let me remind you of two biblical truths.
Your stuff isn’t yours. Ask any coroner…No one takes it with him. When one of the wealthiest men in history, John D. Rockefeller, died, his accountant was asked, “How much did John D. leave?” The accountant’s reply? “All of it.”
All that stuff—it’s not yours. And you know what else about all that stuff? It’s not you. Who you are has nothing to do with the clothes you wear or the car you drive. Jesus said, “Life is not defined by what you have, even when you have a lot” (Luke 12:15 MSG). Heaven does not know you as the fellow with the nice suit or the woman with the big house or the kid with the new bike. Heaven knows your heart.
Heaven does know your heart! Much love, and continued prayers.
Myles,
Your Aunt Kate was unable to send your daily Devotion so she asked me to do it for her.
Love is Patient
Friday, Sept 07, 2007
"Let your patience show itself perfectly in what you do."
James 1:4
Sometime ago our church staff attended a leadership conference. Especially interested in one class, I arrived early and snagged a front-row seat. As the speaker began, however, I was distracted by a couple of voices in the back of the room. Two guys were mumbling to each other. I was giving serious thought to shooting a glare over my shoulder when the speaker offered an explanation. "Forgive me," he said, "I forgot to explain why the two fellows at the back of the class are talking. One of them is an elder at a new church in Romania. He has traveled here to learn about church leadership. But he doesn't speak English, so the message is being translated."
All of a sudden everthing changed. Patience replaced impatience. Why? Because patience always hitches a ride with understanding. "A man of understanding holds his tongue" (Prov. 11:12 NIV). Don't miss the connection between understanding and patience. Before you blow up, listen up. Before you strike out, tune in.
Myles,
That was a great message your Aunt Kate gave you today. Please really read what is being told.
Dear Lord, Jesus Christ, please continue to heal Myles. Continue to place your hands on Myles and take care of his wounds Lord. Take away the pain and the discomfort he may be having today Lord.
We owe everything to you Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
love you
Aunt Celia
Is It Loving?
Monday, September 10, 2007
“[Love] is not rude.”
I Corinthians 13:5 NIV
When defining what love is not, Paul put rudeness on the list. “It is not rude.” The Greek word for rude means shameful or disgraceful behavior.
An example of rudeness was recently taken before the courts in Minnesota. A man fell out of his canoe and lost his temper. Thought the river was lined with vacationing families, he polluted the air with obscenities. Some of those families sued him. He said, “I have my rights.”
God calls us to a higher, more noble concern. Not “What are my rights?” but “What is loving?”
Do you have the right to dominate a conversation? Yes, but is it loving to do so?…
Is it within your rights to bark orders at the clerk or snap at the kids? Yes. But is it loving to act this way?
Myles,
This was one of your Pop Pop Ganley's favorite Bible verses. And I LOVE it too.
Much love to you and the rest of the family.
