Bud you are so right God is GREAT!! What amazing news to receive I can not explain what wonderful news it is to read!! After 4 days here with my Mom and how greatly worried, sad and my heart is hurting that I get to read this!!!! I know first hand how the power of prayer works!! I am so excite and happy for you, Crystal and the family it makes my heart just shine with HAPPINESS!!! My Mom has had a hip replacement on Monday and on Friday she will have a rod in her arm. She will be in the hospital for a few more days than they will transfer her to a rehab center for a while to gain her strength back. Long recovery but she is a very strong women always have been!! I will be up here for another week so I can be with her as she enters into rehab. I love you so very much and so HAPPY for you!!!!
