Gum me jeene ka mazaa aata hai, gareebon ke dar pe bhi khuda aata hai. Din ki masroofiyat jab saanjh me dhalti hai, shabe chandni yaadon ka daaman liye chalti hai, aapko shayad ilm nahi iska, meri duaa har lamhaa sath aapke chalti hai!!!5. Ye dil hi to har ek gum ki wajah hai, ye dil na hota to koi baat na hoti!!!6. Wife- Shale, poora mohalla khush hai, tu kahin ka nawaab hai kya!!!7. Jab bachche masti karte hain to Melody di jati hai aur jab bade masti karte hain to Mala-D di jati hai!!!9. Rishton ki ye duniya hai nirali, sab rishton se pyari hai dosti humari. Second- Mera to paperwala achchha hai, bilkul nahi dabata, neeche se hi daal deta hai âPAPERâ!!!14. Agar pyar aapse pyar kare to, pyar ko itna pyar karo ki wo kisi aur se pyar na kare!!!16. Sachchi dosti bejubaan hoti hai, ye to aankhon se bayaan hoti hai. Dosti me agar dard hai to kya gum hai, dard me hi to apne paraaye ki pehchan hoti hai!!!17. Dard kaafi hai bekhudi ke liye, maut zaroori hai zindgi ke liye. Kaun marta hai kisi ke liye, hum to zinda hain aap jaise dost ki dosti ke liye!!!18. Dil ke kone se ek aawaaz aati hai, hume har pal aapki yaad aati hai. Dil poochhta hai baar baar humse, jinhe hum yaad karte hain, kya unhe bhi humari yaad aati hai!!!19.

Good morning all,Please forgive me for only posting once yesterday. The pace has picked up significantly now that Brian is so alert and he is undergoing so much therapy. Let me see if I can get you caught up. Brian has a new trach in place. It is a metal trach and allows Brian to talk using his normal voice. It will also allow the doctors to downsize the trach as needed. (We learned this morning that the doctor’s goal is to completely remove the trach by the end of next week!!!) Brian is talking quite a bit but you can tell that it does take energy that he does not have in huge amounts just yet. He still has his sense of humor though. Yesterday Jana asked Brian if he would like to call somebody. He told Jana, Yes. Jana said, Who do you want to call Brian? Brian said, Ghostbusters! He caught us all by surprise! We laughed till we cried. Tears never seem very far away from any of us these days. And thats ok.They got Brian out of his bed and into a wheel chair yesterday. I know. We all think that’s great except Brian. You have to keep in mind that, while we have been so close to Brian over the past 4 and a half weeks, watching his remarkable progress, cheering him on, Brian doesn’t know any of that. As far as he is concerned he was driving his truck 2 days ago and is still trying to grasp his need for a wheel chair. He is embarassed by it to be quite honest. It took the physical therapists about 30 minutes to get him into the chair. You see, Brian can’t put any weight on either arm or his left leg. The only leg they will let him put any weight on is his right leg and it is still a long way from being very useful. So they have to physically pick him up, gently, and set him in the chair. Brian trys hard to help and does more than they want him to.Once they got him in the chair we asked Brian if he wanted to go for a stroll around the floor. He said, No. You can tell he is embarassed. But we reminded Brian that this chair is just one of the babysteps that he HAS to take if he wants to recover completely. That changed his mind so off we went. We remind Brian of the word he told the therapist when they asked him how he is feeling. Brian answered, I am determined! So that is Brian’s word we will keep reminding him of as we need to. He is in such a better place emotionally than he was yesterday! Yesterday the weight of all of this was just a shock to his system. Now he is learning through all the encouargement, that his recovery is pretty much up to him now.Brian will have two physical therapy sessions each day, two occupational therapy sessions, and two speech therapy sessions. That’s on top of the visits by the nurses and doctors and the routine maintenance they have to do. They might as well put him on the clock because they certainly are working him hard.Brian had a good night last night. A sitter comes in to stay with Brian from 11pm till 7am. The sitter pays close attention to Brian so Jana or whomever is in the room with him, can get some sleep. So that is wonderfully helpful. Jana did come home last night to sleep because Kathleen agreed to stay with Brian in the room.Hopefully by the end of next week Brian will be up to having some visitors. I will keep you up to date on that as we go. Frazier’s Rehab does not have a waiting area so you are either in the room with him or out in the hall. They don’t want anybody in the room other than Jana when Brian is having any therapy. Distractions are bad for lots of reasons and just prolong his recovery.We’ve had lots of very tender moments with Brian. Thursday night, when he was having such a hard time he told me, I want to go home. We both just sat there and had a good cry. Jana asked him last night, What is the first thing you want to drink when they say its ok?” Brian said, “CapriSun.” Jana said, “What flavor?” Brian said, “orange.” Jana asked him, “Whats the first meal you want to eat? Brian said, biscuits and gravy. I asked him, Whos biscuits and gravy?” He said, “mommas.” We figured as much. Sounds like a great meal to me too.Ill post more later.BobToday is off to a very good start. Please continue to pray for the various therapists working with Brian and Jana.

Kenneth’s two daughters Kellie Copeland and Terri Pearsons on the March 15 2005 Believer’s Voice of Victory broadcast talked about how the Lord never puts us under condemnation. That’s why I think it’s an even better idea for my new artwork to contain one or two verse at the most, and I wrote to my orthodox Jewish friend, Daniel to ask what visual images would be culturally acceptable in my Hebrew versions.

OK I had to post the picture….me and my analogies, my word pictures, one week I’m a sheep the next a fish out of water…..hmmmmmStarted the day out with conversation with my daughter, now that’s a day well begun. She is my friend as well as my daughter and I don’t know that I ‘thought’ that could happen, but it has and I am blessed. It’s a need in me to BE vulnerable to people but I guess to have a foundation of LOVE to be vulnerable. Now that’s tricky because I don’t think I fully know what LOVE is. I am seeking Christ and praying to in the realization of how much I make about me that HE is changing me. I sense a vulnerability coming that I am wanting to deny and yet I sense that THAT is going to be a big step for me. I sense a season of big time learning for me and as much as I want to learn I can be resistant and stiff necked in the changing the being taught… I sense that being all about me will always be a root problem but I also KNOW that He knew that, knows that and……..died for that sin in me. Dang that is hard to write and just the tip of who I am I am guessing…..And then I read Deut. 30:6 The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live.And He knew we wouldn’t, haven’t, don’t and won’t ……sending the Israelites into the promised land sans Moses with Joshua in charge, Him way ahead of them guaranteeing their victories and possession of the land, He knew they would turn away…..What an amazing God you know, yearning for love and devotion, knowing how far short we would fall and loving them, loving us still. He’s more than we can know and never enough for us…..for me. Like Peter I want to say ‘I will never deny you.’…..and as soon as I say that the temptations begin……or it’s just me and my dependence on Him wanes….I don’t know what it is that happens but I don’t want it to so I have to pray to stay right here…needy and dependent……like a fish out of water waiting to either die or to learn to breath different….??Psalm 40: 16 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, The LORD is great!17 But as for me, I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; you are my God, do not delay. 1 Corinthians 11 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be his holy people, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—their Lord and ours:3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.4 I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5 For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge— 6 God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. 7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8 He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.A Church Divided Over Leaders10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, I follow Paul; another, I follow Apollos; another, I follow Cephas ; still another, I follow Christ.13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. 16 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise
