Hey y'all. So as you may know, I've had this tuition bill that's been hanging over me for a year now. On Memorial Day weekend, I got a collection notice, saying I had 60 days to pay it all back, or it goes against my credit. As you also know, I made the mistake of lending money to my mom, thinking she would pay it back, which it turns out she never had the intensions to. Well this week is the deadline for my tuition, as it's due on Friday. Well, last night I was at Celebrate Recovery.. Having shared what has been happening to me, a friend and his wife gave me a check that would cover much of which I would have been short of to pay the tuition.. I couldn't believe it. I actually started to have tears in my eyes (good ones of course). They said for me to not worry about it or pay them back, as this is what a family does for one another (referencing church family). So with this check, along with my paycheck that I get tomorrow, I will finally be able to pay off this tuition bill, have my diploma mailed to me, which has been witheld since May 2014 when I graduated. And start saving all over again, as I plan to go to grad school by hopefully the start of 2016. Praise God for that! And the cool thing is, the day my tuition is due, is the same day this week CR is planning a bus trip to a baseball game. So it's like I can kick back and enjoy myself literally right after getting rid of this load. Thank you all that have been praying. I'm posting this to just say, it never hurts to ask for help whenever you need it. God puts people in our lives for a reason, and it's the enemy that trys to discourage us from doing so. We're not meant to be in this world alone, and I want to thank you brothers and sisters for being part of mine on here. You all have been a blessing, and will continue to be so. God bless, and have a great rest of your afternoon and evening!

Now, Frank you and I both know that wouldn't be true. If anything we would give you a huge bear hug:)

You had me worried, you kept saying to
keep it hush-hush.
A hug may be a great thing this morning.

Hello KIS, how are you ?
Getting anything done yet? I hope so.
We're pretty much where we want to be as far as fixing up the backyard and converting the carport into an open spring-summer-fall comfy place to hangout (for this year anyways). Just got back in from spreading the last of the mulch and cutting the grass. We've lived here for a couple of years now (smaller home and yard) and weren't 100% certain that this is where we wanted to stay parked ... so we procrastinated. Decided a couple of months ago that this is good as anywhere else so it was time to get busy ... and the back needed tweaking desperately. Have to admit that it looks lovely ... and tranquil. Even put a T.V. out there for the occasional movie or documentary in the evenings ... because that's basically all we'll watch. Maybe the Antique's Road Show .. the odd History Channel thing .. that sorta stuff. One could even sleep out there now if desired. Just needed an oasis is all :) How are you holding up Frank ? Gotta be getting tired of the picks and needles, huh ? :( Hoping that you're feeling somewhat better at least ? Please say that you are :) Keeping you in prayer faithfully Frank. You know Who to lean on :)

Well, it was Tintin that wanted to know who and so they began a guessing game until they finally figured it out and of course I couldn't lie. And I love hugs and everything. Would a cyber hug do?

It'd be cool if CC could come up with a hug emoticon.

I know what you mean, I sit around and try to get my game plan together,
it never works. So, whatever is pressing the most, it gets done. The wife at
times don't understand, but she comes around.
In 2005, our home burnt to the ground while we were at church. It took 3
years before we finished our new home and move in. We changed the
location. We moved across the creek about a half mile. She didn't under-
stand, new well, septic system, new driveway, landscaping, you get the
picture. Still haven't got through with it all. One day, she will say, enough
of flowers.

As for me, yesterday didn't quite go well. I was in blood works, this morning
I'm in the Heart Center. I just had a heart ultrasound, so I don't know if I had
a heart attact or not.

Maybe a slight blockage somewhere ? :confused: Those are easy enough to fix these days. Wife's best friend had two major blockages a short while ago. She was home in two days ... and feels great. Wondering here if they noticed maybe some slow(er) re-circulating when they were cleaning your blood ? Keep us updated Frank. We'll keep the prayers coming.

Lord Jesus, I lift our brother Frank to you. We don't know what is going in with him, but what I do know is that you hold him very near to you. I speak healing to every fiber in his body from the top of his head to his toes because the stripes that Christ sustained on Calvary we are healed in your name. I also pray that you keep his faith strong and remember the promises you each gave him.
In your holy name, Amen

I had open heart in 2009, double bypass, and 3 stints.
They checked everything when I first went in, everything
was working, no blockage, the stints were working.
The heart Dr said, they were trying to go to fast. So, I don't
know. He said my blood pressure dropped to 31 over 90.
I wasn't awake, I woke up in the heart center. I don't even
know what location I'm at. I have a good view of the Ashley
river, not the harbor. I know that I'm in the tower,just not
what part of the city.

Speaking of hunger, I ended up making French Toast, scrambled eggs, and sausage for breakfast this morning and by the time I got to the eggs, my tummy started to hurt so I wasn't able to enjoy the food, but I did have half a spoonful of scrambled eggs though.

Scrambled eggs are always good. Hash browns are exceptional also. I'm sorry that your tummy hurts. I don't feel too good either today. God Bless You.

I was actually debating whether to make Hash browns and Eggs and chose against it. Plus, I find using my griddle to be much easier to clean up. Lol

Its okay that its upset as I am just about finished with my antibiotic so hopefully after a few days I won't have that problem. Plus, I don't really eat a lot anyways.

I am truly sorry that you are not feeling well, but hopefully as the day wears on you will feel much better.

Thank KIS, I will be fine, I have the Lord Jesus Christ as my
anchor. My anchor will always hold, no matter what. I have
more faith in God today than at any time in my life.
We all go through trying times, my faith will be tested, it will
always hold. Without God, man can't stand, he will fall.
Again thank you for the prayers. Oh, the Dr said, if I didn't
have a heart attact, he will let me go home. I will not be able
to have my blood cleaned, his orders.

I was hoping to go see April, she is in the main hospital, I'm
blocks away, from what a nurse just told me. So, when I get out
I will go by and check on her. When I do, I will post her update.
