Carol, Mother-in-Law has not smoked in the last 15 or so years. She is breathing a little easier today. However, they did find 3 masses one on the adrenal gland in her chest, 2 on spine. The doctors ordered four more tests to determine the nature of the masses. The two on the spine are small. The one on adrenal gland is just over 4 cm. They are trying to ascertain that the masses are benign. She survived breast cancer approximately 20 years ago. She had to undergo double radical mastectomy. She is needless to say worried and upset. I would appreciate prayers for her. Her name is Sonja Creel and she is 71. Pray also for my wife, she is one of three children. However, since Monday evening the other two have called and not come by. This is kind of the norm; Linda my wife and Sonja's husband Marion provide most of the care giving while the other two are quick to state opinions on what needs to be done. I have borrowed a line from my Pastor on this, "That's a great idea, and since God has put it on your heart by all means YOU should do it." School work for daughter is at our choice. We have centered around two major textbook vendors. From there, we have to submit everything to our home school association, syllabus, and calendar for approval at beginning of year and daily log at end of year. We chose this option because we wanted to control the content that was introduced to our daughter and when specific things were introduced. We for example introduced the theory of evolution in ninth grade not sixth or seventh. We presented the facts refuting as well as supporting the theory when she was old enough and had the foundation to make her own intelligent decisions. We also did not want there to be an availability of contraceptives to her, we believe abstinence works best and is accordance to God's plan. To be sure, some will label us and have labeled us fanatics. That is ok. I prefer to try and act I accordance with what I believe is consistent with God's will as evidenced in God's Word.

There is always problems accur in life . Please god lets hope now your wife's mother is ok david please keep updated won't you? Does she smoke? hope not I have noticed such a lot of people who have smoke for years suffer from bad chest even people who do not smoke can suffer due to other kinds of illness. hope and pray she gets better David Should imagine your daughter has to do a lot of school work at home . Is it very expensive teaching your own children at home? Do you have to find some work yourself or does the school goveners send you lots of paper work? My nephew James was bullied in school from age of 7 right up to 15. Had a terrible shocking time and now can you believe this, he came tops he is very intelligent and brainy and yet he was very stressed and miserable in School We are proud of him for becoming very intelligent and stuck it all out my god when he left David it was as if an gargian angel has taking him aways from all that bullying sound daft I know but oh it was such a lovely feeling for our James all that stress went from his face and bad moods amazing isn't it? Normally in some cases when children get bullied they are not interested in life and do not want to learn but not our James We are all very proud of him He starts university in September bless my lovely nephew. take care Love Carol x.x.x.x. -----Original Message----- From: David L.
