So it occurs to me.....

I just went in to take Deb Koplen off my prayer list, because, well, she was laid to rest today. (RIP Deb, you will be missed by many, we love you) And it occured to me, do we stop praying for the ones that are no longer with us? Her memory is still here. She still holds a place in all of our hearts. Hmmmm?

So then I start pondering about what Deb is up to now that she has entered the gates of Heaven. Is she up there "being nice" or is she up there causing her normal funny Deb trouble? Is she with her loved ones that have already passed? Can she tell my Grandmother that I love her and miss her more each day (even after 11 years)? Can she deliver messages for all of us?

These things just pop in my head occasionally and I get myself all worked up thinking about them. So, what do you think?

Deb Koplen

I am going to copy/paste the blog from The Chrystie's blog page: www.greetingsfromAustinstreet.blogspot.com

Please pray for everyone involved and everyone's life that Deb touched.

"Update on our friend, Deb Koplen. Greetings from this side of heaven.The strife is over. The battle won. Alleluia!!She went to be with her Master this morning at a few minutes to 8am after a short, hard battle with her cancer. In the end, it had gone too far too fast for her to be able to battle it effectively, even with today's drugs. Arrangements are pending. We will keep you updated when the details are sorted out. Thank you for your prayers. Praise God for his love and mercy. Bruce"

Declin ..... yes, again, lol

I got to spend some of the day with my nephew, Declin. He will be 16 months old on Saturday. He is getting so big. Day Care is teaching him sign language, and he is learning TONS of words.
Here is a pic of him from today, he is trying to ride a scooter. Cute little baby!

A friend of mine named Brandon posted this on his myspace, I feel similar and thought I should post it:

"This isn’t the Olympics people. I don’t have to support a radical left socialist agenda just because it’s in the pool with a USA cap."
