Happy Sunday everyone! I actually slept in today after having a really bad night of sleep. My stomach and reflux was such that my esphogus and lungs and throat were burning much of the night. I prayed and took some extra meds to counteract and by the grace and mercy of Almighty God, made it through the night. I don’t usually sleep in but I did today and it felt so good. I remember waking up at sunrise and seeing the glorious dawning of the day, the beautiful red/orage tint to the firmament as the sun faithfully raised himself up as is his way. I smiled at the sight, closed my eyes, and was able to go back into a peaceful sleep, laying my head in God’s lving bosom.
It’s halftime during the Cowboys game right now and we’re not doing so good. The Rams are ahead of us by quite a few points. Poor Cowboys, I know they’re trying so hard. 
I know God loves all His children, everywhere.
I had a wonderful visit with my cousins yesterday. I fried up some chicken and made some good side dishes and we had a good meal together and wonderful quality time visiting and catching up with each other’s lives. These two sweet cousins of mine, sisters to each other from the Houston area, came from a family of twelve children. Their father was killed in a ditch cave in when they were very young. The family suffered unspeakable hardships and most have survived them well. I love them all very much and thank God we had this special time to spend together.
I had wonderful communications with my children and my grandchildren yesterday and even with my grand niece who was also celebrating her birthday with her family and friends. I am so blessed. I pray that somehow, some way I can be such a blessing and a joy to these little ones (and to everyone for that matter). 
I have a day of software program familiarization today. I love working with Office 2007 and am learning many shortcuts and tips that I had not been aware of. It’s all good and FUN!
Peace and love! Out! Linda
