Thanksgiving 2008

What a great Thanksgiving gathering we had! I can't wait to see all of your pictures! I'm uploading ours here. Click on the photo to link to it!

Love, Greg



"I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death."

John,
You have been in my thoughts a lot this week. Martha has shared your ups and downs with the difficult week of treatment. When I read this quote I knew I wanted to share it with you.

Keep the faith, stay strong, share the story!
Your Ozark friend,
Sharon

GOD, YOU ARE AT THE CENTER of this. Or you are all about me. Or even though I cannot name how you are here at all, still you are. I cannot rush matters now. Where would I rush to? I cannot deny that I am completely at sea. The sea and the drifting are all I look upon, day to day.

Yet somehow, by the thinnest of membranes, you keep me from sinking into the abyss. With your barely perceptible touch, you convey me, though I have no idea where. Through all of this uncertain movement, let my heart be toward you. Let me trust … and wait.

I actually have a moment at work to say hello-- We are looking forward to seeing you and mom Christmas Day; we'll come bearing chocolate and gifties.
Plan on coffee Friday! :)
Love you-- prepare yourself for candy!
