Well…I’ll start with BB ramblings…

WAHOOO!! I was so happy that they turned against ED’s plan and they actually pulled of a surprise on him too…cuz from reading the live feeds, they led ED and Dani to believe that Eric was out. So HAHAHA….now hopefully they successfully kick ED out this week…man he is on my nerves. I cringe just watching him go off on someone. It’s almost as uncomfortable as watching Amber’s Evel-esque rant at Eric. Umm…can you tell someone something “in confidence” if it’s on national television? I’m just curious…lol…anyways…she is a wacko. After they showed her rant last night I went in and told Jimmie that these people are nuts and he said people like me who watch them are the real nuts…I said, this season, I have to agree with that! Lol Although, I have to think, living with someone like ED would make anyone lose their marbles….all that negative energy…blah….

End of BB rant…..

I started with the lighthearted non-important thing but my heart is really very heavy today….mom sent an email update about Michael today…

I just want to ask for continued prayer for Michael. He isn't doing very well right now. He has gone back into a semi coma state. It is like he is in a dark hole and can't seem to wake up completely. Joel went to see him this morning and the nurses and doctors are puzzled that he has gone backwards. He recognizes everyone, so that is good. He isn't eating and if that continues they will have to put him back on an IV. They are doing more tests to see if they can find a reason for his lack of progress. Please pray for him. It is so hard for all of us to see him like this. I can't imagine how this is for Claude and Barb.

The family just covets your continued prayers. A few weeks ago, Missy emailed me about her visit to see Michael right before they had to restrain him and I read the email right before I left work so all the way home I just cried and prayed. When I got home I told Jimmie about his condition and cried some more and Jimmie said a really profound thing…that God’s plan for Michael hasn’t changed, it’s still there, it has taken an unexpected (to us) turn but God still has a plan and Michael is still on the path set forth for him. While that is a very comforting thing, it is still so heart wrenching right now in the moment. My heart is just breaking for his mom and dad especially. I just can’t imagine what pain they must be feeling. So please keep praying! Thank you so much!

Well it’s about time to head home so I’m gonna go….hope everyone has a cool, safe, blessed weekend!

yeah...I told Mom and Dad what Jimmie said tonight and they thought that was pretty good too. I need to share that with Aunt Barbara. I think that would be good for her to hear....and they need some good right now. It is very hard to be here for them, but very hard to not be there too - if that makes any sense at all. I am so glad I got to spend some good one-on-one time with him tonight before he got very frustrated.

One thing I was thinking about...it is pretty neat to see how Mike & Shirley and all of us are rallying together as a family - dysfuntional as it may be.

SO, I am with you...my heart is very heavy too.

But....about BB...I do agree that I was pretty excited (and surprised) that they pulled that over on ED last night. I hope they get rid of him this week!

Love ya......hope you do get to come up next weekend!!!!

We're praying for Michael. We might not know the plan, but God does and it's being carried out as we speak. Keep us posted on how things are going. We love ya'll!

I agree with everything you said....about BB and more importantly Michael. Those were, indeed, very wise words from Jimmie. I pray that Michael will move forward again. Love ya!

I just commented on Missy's journal about this, too...That Jimmie...he made me cry!! In a good way... What a wise perspective, and yet, you're right, still heart-wrenching to watch...But, God's will is perfect. His ways are not ours, definately. This all didn't "shock" God...us, well, absolutely..."God is God & I am not...I can only see a part, of the picture He's painting...God is God & I am man...So I'll never understand it all, for only God is God..." Funny I shared a bit of that on my blog earlier today...Anyways, absolutely true...

Now, I'll stop journaling in your journal :)

Love you...
